Liz is an amazing childminder! I knew I didn’t want to go down the nursery root after experiencing it with my first son and im so happy with the service Liz provides. My little boy is so happy to be with her. He participates in a range of activities every day and it’s so nice to see from the photos Liz provides! She gives a full breakdown of my child’s day, sends photos and is available via message at any point should I need to contact her. Such a safe and stimulating environment for my little one.. it’s made my transition back to work so much easier because I know little one is safe and well looked after. Thank you Liz xxx

Thank you for this amazing review. It means the world to me .
We cannot recommend our Liz highly enough. Since our daughter started attending last September, she has come on tremendously both socially and educationally. She absolutely loves going each day and has built wonderful friendships with the other children in her care.
There is always a wide range of engaging activities planned, including singing, learning about emotions, colours and numbers, all of which have supported our daughter's development and confidence. The curriculum is thoughtfully planned and varied, and our daughter genuinely enjoys taking part in the different topics and activities.
Liz is incredibly accommodating and works around our daughter's routine, ensuring her individual needs are met. She also provides plenty of opportunities for outdoor learning, whether that's trips to soft play, visits to the local library, or creative mark-making activities in the garden.
We particularly love how she introduces the children to different celebrations and events throughout the year. Our daughter has learned about topics such as Autumn, Remembrance Day, Chinese New Year and Father's Day, among many others.
It is clear that she is passionate about providing a nurturing, stimulating and supportive environment for the children in her care. We are so pleased with the progress our daughter has made and happily give her a well-deserved 5-star rating.

thank you so much Fran and Alex. It means the world to me that you are happy with my care of your daughter.
My daughter has been going to Liz for the past 12 months. Her development since attending has been phenomenal. Liz has been absolutely fantastic with my daughter.
Liz provides updates at the end of each day in regards to activities, food, nappies and sleep etc. as well as providing considerable photos from throughout the day.
Liz also takes the children out on walks, to soft play and to the library on a weekly basis!
Liz is an amazing childminder and has become a big part of my daughter’s life. She is so happy to see her in a morning which makes drop offs so much easier as a parent - I can’t thank Liz enough for the care and support she has given my daughter the past 12 months. Truly one of a kind! 🌟🌟🌟

Thank you so much for your kind words .it means slot to me .
The minute I met Liz, I felt comfortable for my 10-month-old son to join. Liz spent a long time with me, at the first meeting to get to know me and my son. My son took straight to Liz and I love seeing his face light up when we pull up outside.
Liz shares loads of photos everyday my son attends and a very comprehensive breakdown of his day. She also takes them to soft play, library and many other adventures.
Shes not just been a childminder, she's been a big part of our family and life and I couldn't be happier! I would recommend Liz to anybody.

Thank you so much for this lovely review. Going to miss you all x
My little boy has been going to Liz since he was 8 months old and even though I was really nervous of leaving him to begin with, I had absolutely no need to be. She put me at ease straight away and has always been amazing with him - he absolutely adores her.
He has come on so much since he’s started going and I love that she actively takes the kids out and does a lot of activities with them (soft play, visits to the library, day trips to different places). She’s also always there to listen and give advice if I have any concerns with his development. I also like that at the end of each day she will send pictures of the day he’s had and a summary (food, nappies, drink, sleep etc). I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better as a childminder.

Thank u so much for such a lovely review x
My daughter has been going to Liz, 5 days a week from half 7- 5 since last September. Since that first day, she has just thrived.
I never have any worries or doubts that my daughter is in the best possible hands and any guilt I may have felt initially about sending her for so much of the working week disappeared almost instantly. .
Liz is just brilliant. She’s experienced of course but more than that she is caring, thoughtful, genuinely loves what she does and goes above and beyond to make sure the children in her care are happy and loved.
I get daily updates of what my daughter has done each day. She comes home all the time with artwork, and at times little gifts ie for Mother’s Day etc which are just so thoughtful and appreciated.
The range of learning and activities that Liz arranges for each day is excellent, and I like that there is a routine to each day.
My daughter loves going to Liz. She gets excited in the morning and leaves at the end of each day happy.
Like I said in the title, I can’t recommend Liz any more highly and I’m very grateful for all that she does for my little girl.

Thank u so much for this review it’s means a lot to me x
My son has been attending Liz's for 8 months now, 3 days a week. He is settled and really happy. Liz provides lots of different activities for the children to do at home alongside taking them out in the local community (walks around parks etc).
Communication is excellent, I receive a daily message stating what my son has been up to, along with photographs.
My son comes home with all the art and craft work he has done with Liz which are lovely to see.
When my son is with Liz i know he is safe and well looked after.
All in all Liz is a fab childminder.

Liz has looked after my daughter since last summer. She settled in right away and is treated like one of her own. She does so much with her. She always looks forward to going. Liz is very accommodating and patient with her and we would recommend her to any parent looking for childcare. The home is spotless.

Thank u for the lovely review x
Liz has had both my son (now 6yo) and my daughter (now 3yo) from either 9 or 12 months old. They have both become part of her family (as she has ours) the children love her, they enjoy going to her setting and are safe and secure in her care. They have both learnt so much and achieved all their developmental milestones. Liz is always there for support and advice and will always help where she can maintaining professionalism. I can not recommend Liz enough! Shes fab! X
