We came across Lu and Roy’s profile when looking for a childminder at the last minute, due to a previous one falling through. They were so understanding and really helped in anyway they could as we needed to make arrangements quite quickly.
My son was 9 months at the time (13months now) and giving the current situation with covid it was a nerve racking experience handing my son over to someone new, but we clicked straight away and we instantly felt comfortable.
Since then I can’t help but feel it was meant to be! They are both amazing people, so kind and genuine. They are such a lovely family and provide a fun educational environment for all the children... plus on occasions also making us dinner to take home! Lasagna is delicious by the way!. My son has been thriving ever since being in their care, he absolutely loves going to them ( probably more than being at home) and they really do feel like extended family. We can go to work with ease knowing our son is safe and having fun with friends.
Quite early into going to Lu and Roy’s my son was diagnosed with Focal epilepsy, which means he can have unusual types of seizures which has been scary for us all, but Lu and Roy have been great in reassuring us with their experience whilst also being extremely supportive.
I could go on forever describing how brilliant they are, but we are so grateful to have found them.

My wife and I shared the same concerns all parents will have when searching for and selecting a suitable childminder. Will our child be safe, happy, nurtured etc. There is obviously no bigger decision or leap of faith than who to leave your child with. Luckily all concerns were soon alleviated when we first discovered Lu and Roy and since then, as we have watched our happy little girl grow. We cannot believe how lucky we have been to find such amazing childminders right on our doorstep.
Our daughter has flourished within their care and loves going there. She never cries when we drop her off, in fact quite the opposite. We have watched her develop in many ways and are so grateful that we can go to work knowing that she is happy, safe and extremely contented.
Ahead of making our choice we met with a few childminders, all of which were very nice. However, there was something special about the feeling we had when we met Lu and Roy, and our gut feeling was that this was the perfect fit for our daughter.
Unfortunately, our daughter has had some health issues meaning she requires both regular physio and exercises. Both of which have been no trouble to Lu who seems to have made it her personal goal to help our daughter in any way she can. Lu has been actively engaged in physio sessions and has helped our daughter no end through carrying out the regular exercises she requires to help her. Both her and Roy have gone well over and above the duty of care and we cannot thank them enough.
Some of the many benefits of Lu and Roy include:
-Great communication including regular updates on how your child is developing
-Regular activities - games, painting, trips etc
-A great mix of children of various ages and backgrounds
-Superb facilities
-Easy to get to location
-Great meals with lots of variety
We could not recommend or thank Lu and Roy enough. We have a very happy little girl and they are a huge factor in this.

I struggle to find the words to describe how wonderful Lulu is. My daughter started going to her around her first birthday and is now 28 months. She has never cried when I have dropped her off, not once. She absolutely loves it at Lulu’s which says it all. Lulu is so gentle and kind and treats my daughter like her own. I really value Lulu’s advice - she is understanding and flexible at all times.
I didn’t believe that I would ever find someone that I trusted so much to care for my daughter. It is such a relief to go to work without having to worry at all. I can’t recommend Lulu and Roy enough. We are moving away from the area soon and will be devastated to leave Lulu.

My 3 year old started going after our nanny had to leave suddenly. He settled in immediately and Lu was so flexible as we tried to manage a new routine. When nursery was closed for Chistmas school holidays we were able to up his hours, when I forgot to pick him up from nursery (baby brain) she went to get him from nursery and if I was delayed in getting back from London and was late, again no issue.
Jasper ate really well and was really happy there.

My two children have been going to Lou & Roy’s for a year now.
My little girl was only 9 months when she started going to Lous and my other child was 2. Both of them settled in straight away and Lou was great at keeping me updated all through the day while they were settling.
I was really stressing about going back to work and leaving the kids but with Lou and Roy I know I can go to work and don’t have any worries about my kids at all.
My children love going to Lou and Roy’s and are often so excited to go in and get their day started they don’t bother saying bye to me! There has never been a day that my kids haven’t wanted to go and they often ask me if they can go there at the weekend.
My kids have also learnt a lot since being with Lou and have plenty to do and tell me about.
I couldn’t ask for better support as the kids go through different milestones.
Lou and Roy are so friendly and easy to talk to that they feel like good friends and the kids absolutely adore them. I feel so lucky to have found them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

My daughter is nearly 2 and been at Lu’s since May 2017 . I couldn’t have found the perfect setting for my daughter she loves it and is coming on so well . My 8 year old son also attends LuLus after school and during school holidays , which he enjoys as he can play outside in the garden , play board games with the other children and can also sit in a quiet area and complete homework .
Lu & Roy are great with the children and provide a lovely warm , cosy home from home environment. With homemade meals daily that the children love.
The playroom has a great range of toys for all ages . My daughter enjoys arts & crafts , cooking and lots of learning through play . All the alcove has delveloped my daughter into a very confident young toddler . The garden is a fantastic space for the children especially in the summer months were the children spend time playing in water , sand , soft play area and with ride ons .
My daughter settled straight into Lus with no tears ever , which is great for a parent to see , she loves them and had a great bond with them just like a family member which they have become , they are always there to help out with any concerns . I am always kept up to date with what my daughter as eaten . Sleeps etc via the diary that is sent home after everyday . Which is great .
I highly recommend Lu & Roy .

My son has been cared for by Lulu and Roy for three and a half years now and he regards them as family. They take him after school most days and care for him during the holidays when I need it. We are blessed to have them in our lives. As a single working parent I couldn’t do without them, their flexibility and support. For example, They have accommodated and supported us during our changing circumstances; I always know I don’t need to worry if the trains are running late and they will help me out at the last minute if they have room.
They care for children of varying ages and abilities (my son has developmental delay and hearing loss) and they encourage good relationships between them all. My boy loves it there, he is a rock star to the younger children, whom he loves, and always seems to be having fun. When the weathers good I can never get him to leave because he's having to much fun in their garden with all the other children.
At the end of each day I know my boy is safe, happy, well fed and ready for the ritual of bedtime.

My 2 year old daughter has been attending Lulu's 3 days a week since October 2017 and I am so happy with the setting and would highly recommend it. Some of the following reasons are why:
Lulu and Roy provide such a welcoming environment for the children in their care which is always clean and tidy. The toy room has an abundance of toys, including soft play, but is always organised. They have a fantastic garden setup which they use as much as possible. They also plan many fun activities such as baking, messy play and arts and crafts. My daughter has really developed her social skills and has learnt to share as a result of this setup and is really thriving in this environment.
Lulu and Roy are focused on my daughters educational development not just because they follow the EYFS curriculum, which they do, but because they have a genuine interest and passion for the individual needs of the children in their care which comes across very naturally.
As well as completing the daily diary Lulu encourages open communication between myself and her on a daily basis which I really value. She is very responsive to any questions I have ever had and is always available if needed.
My daughter has breakfast, lunch and dinner at Lulus and has developed a real love for her food since attending. The meals are all home made and healthy with a good variety.
My daughter loves going to Lulu's and is really thriving there. I would highly recommend it.
