Lovely and caring childminder

Lu and Roy took care of my little boy for just over 4 months and were simply wonderful. I was very anxious about the whole idea of leaving my baby with strangers but Lu and Roy are so kind and welcoming, the experience was much easier than anticipated. My son took a while to settle but eventually would arrive at their door each morning with a big smile on his face ready for the day ahead. The play room and garden are fully kitted out with everything you could imagine and my son loved the soft play! He would have 3 good meals a day, and Lu even managed to get him to eat broccoli! You can tell they truly care about each child in their setting and simply love what they do. We are so sad that we have had to leave due to a house move but if we do ever come back to Bromley, we will definitely be sending any future children their way. Thank you again!

Wonderful family with excellent setting

Our 3 year old and we were so warmly welcomed to this family. They have been super accommodating and helpful. Nothing seems to me too much trouble. Mila absolutely loves coming to Lulu. She has never cried or refused going not even on day 1. She has been refusing food at home, but eats up well at Lulu's. She has definitely improved on the behavior too. Overall highly recommend.

The most loving and caring Childminder

When Lulu opens the door in the morning, she always does it with such love and passion for the children and families that you see first hand that she was born to do this profession. With three children being 6 and under we have had our children in quite a few childcare settings but we are so pleased we found Lulu and have her support to manage our rather challenging family logistics. Nothing we ask of her and Roy is ever too much or any trouble. They do our drop offs, pick ups and look after our littlest one with such care and enthusiasm that I am just so grateful we can call her part of our extended family. My baby daughter loves Lulu, smiles and stretches out her arms every time she sees her. Beyond the usual care requirements, which are performed to the highest standard, Lulu provides an exceptional amount of wisdom and hands on approach that has truly benefitted our family. My baby sleeps so well now and goes to sleep by herself which I put down to her exceptional routine at Lulu's. Every time she has a rash or sickness, Lulu is on hand to provide information from her vast experience as a childminder. There isnt anything she hasnt seen before or that she doesnt know. Above all, I really appreciate her communication channel, never shy to send us pictures and videos of our kids and tell us what theyve been up to. I don't take this for granted as it's not the same for every setting so I appreciate it even more that she takes the time out to update us on anything that is relevant or even just nice to know. We trust her with our precious gang and would do so again over and over. Both Lulu and Roy are extremely loyal and above all, reliable. Always putting their famlies' needs as their priority. Frankly, you will have to look hard to find such a hard working childcare duo as these two. Thank you Lulu and Roy for all you do.

Incredibly lucky to have Louise and Roy!

We have been incredibly lucky to have found Louise (Lulu) and Roy as childminders for our two boys. Having a childminder before here my youngest would not settle in the environment leaving them refusing to look after him! On our first settling in day at their house my youngest settled straight away and I knew this was the place for my boys! They are such a massive help for us as we both work full time and shift work they are very flexible and understanding with changing pick up/drop off times etc to accommodate our family. They work with us to keep routines for the boys so they have stability. The boys love going to their house and it is like home from home for them. They are always doing fun activities and constantly engaging with the children. The boys have developed so much from going to their house in the last 18 months. Louise is always at the end of the phone for advice and assistance. They have been a great addition to our family and we couldn’t do it without them. I am so thankful for everything that they do!

It’s like having family near !

Me and my partner are both working and have no family in London, which made raising our little daughter very complicated for us . Finding Lulu and Roy was a game changer and I’m so grateful and couldn’t recommend them enough!! They are genuinely warm and kind hearted people with immense love for children and animals ! Their concern for the little ones is real and doesn’t limit to the time they’re in there ! I’ve felt Lulu like a source of constant support and advice as a new mom and so happy we’ve found her ! Our daughter was only one when she started and learned so much from them- she is very polite and friendly and eats everything- I really hope she can be with this family as much as possible!

Lulu is the most amazing childminder

Lulu is a wonderfull childminder. Your heart is full of love and every child can fell this.
She is kind, funny, atentive and very professional.  She is the best childminder my son could have. We are so gratefull for her to be allways so wonderful with our son and with us as well. After a terrible experience with another childminder, she is like a gift for us. And besides everything she cooks delicious and nutritive meals for the kids, what I think very important.
My son loves her and we all too!

The BEST there is!

I wanted to leave another review as it feels valuable for searching parents. Lu and Roy have looked after my daughter for nearly a year now and as a family we have enjoyed every minute. We recently experienced an incident which meant my daughter needed to be taken to hospital. The way the whole thing was dealt with by Lu and Roy was outstanding. They care for your children as if they are your own and I really don’t believe you can ask for more than that.
We trust them both implicitly, so much so they will be looking after our latest addition next September when I head back to work. Repeat custom says volumes! Both Lu and Roy are genuinely two of the nicest, most caring individuals I have met and as a family we feel very lucky to have them in our lives!

Like a second home, brilliant

Our previous childcare closed down suddenly so we had to find alternative childcare elsewhere and we are so lucky that we found Lulu and Roy. Our 2 year old has now been here for 6 months and loves every minute. His language skills have developed massively and I have noticed an increase in confidence around other children. Lulu and Roy are down to earth and so caring there practically like an extended family.

An excellent professional yet a home like setup

Louise (Lu) and Roy are perfect that I have been looking for in a childminder. My daughter Aaradhya was 14 months when we started at Lu in October 2021, as you can imagine, this was a hugely anxious time, as she had very little contact with other children or adults prior to this point due to COVID. I was torn between nursery and a childminder. After a short conversation with a few people locally, and after speaking to Lu and Roy, we knew this was the right place for her. Because of being a pampered Covid baby, Aaradhya was not easy to settle from first day she went. But Lu was fantastic in helping her settle. She went above and beyond and constantly posted photos/ videos up so we can see how she is doing. Lu helped her settle with patience and gave us as many settling sessions as we needed. She creates a fun and educational environment and is very attentive to development opportunities and logs these, so I never feel I miss out on important milestones. They’re very educational and fun. In a very short amount of time of attending here Aaradhya is already able to do so much more. She began walking, she can draw on a piece of paper, and confidently climb on and off of toys and stairs, can eat independently and is soo good at table etiquettes. She couldn’t do all this before, and I feel I couldn't have taught her all this better. I’m so excited for Aaradhya’s future at this fantastic setting. Lu and Roy are both very kind, patient and fantastic childminders. I am very glad and lucky that we found them. I’ll always be grateful for how lovely they both are.

I look forward to all of the other sweet things she is going to learn and do here in the future. Thanks for making this so easy.

Like a second home

Lou has been looking after my daughter since she was 8 months old. Now, aged 3 we are beginning the process of transitioning her to a preschool setting. As a Solo parent with little support around, it was imperative that my daughters early years were spent in a nurturing and loving environment that would be akin to my own home and core values as a parent, a home from home.
I first met Lou when I was pregnant and again with my daughter when she was a few months old and I knew she was the right choice for us. Over 2 years later and I have absolutely no regrets about this decision. My Daughter loves spending time with her and has developed into a smart and funny little girl under her care. Lou & Roy really see her as part of their family and us them.
Lou came to the rescue when my daughter had to go into hospital with tonsillitis, and has been a great help, offering respite care when I’ve needed it most. She truly has my daughters best interest at heart and is always on hand to offer help and advice. Choosing the right childcare can be a minefield but honestly Lou was the best decision and I could not recommend her highly enough if you are in the process of looking for your own child. They really go above and beyond to make sure your child is happy & well cared for in an inclusive and positive environment.
