LVMum's Reviews

Below are the reviews that LVMum has written.
I was dreading going back to work when my son was 12 months old. We looked around months in advance for a childminder we liked. As soon as we met Lisa we knew our little boy would be in safe hands and our minds would be at ease. Not only could we clearly see how passionate and dedicated Lisa was about quality childcare, but her house was very clean, tidy with plenty of lovely outdoor space - which we knew would be a big hit with our son!
The settling in days went well, although he once got a bit upset and Lisa sang 'his song' to him to calm him, and he fell asleep in her arms - without me even telling her it was his song!
I'm always so excited to hear how his day has been, and Lisa is great at keeping you posted and often sending pictures during the day which puts a smile on my face. Within no time at all he was toddling down the corridor with barely a look backwards to say bye! I was so pleased and relieved that he was loving his time at Lisa's. He'd made so many lovely friends and talks about them all the time.
Lisa's passion for outdoor and creative free play has helped our son has really thrive, as he loves the outdoors and is such a happy, free spirit. Lisa also managed to help resolve the occasional angry tantrums and help him learn to share within the first few weeks. He's since been an angel and is a complete joy to be around. He also loves interacting with the slightly older children which is so lovely to see and hear about.
It really is like he goes to be looked after by a member of our family - but with all the benefits of Lisa's professional experience. Lisa often sends us interesting relevant articles or information on children's health/wellbeing/learning development, which is really helpful and it feels as if we are a team working together on our son's development. We even decided to keep him attending Lisa's whilst I'm on my maternity leave with our second child - as he loves his days there so much!
I honestly cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. We feel so lucky to have her support with our little boy, and have no doubt that you would feel the same way with your little one in her care.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review xxx It is greatly appreciated and means the world to me to know that you trust me with your gorgeous precious little boy who i adore xxx
We knew that after sending our first son to Lisa's (and seeing him flourish into the lovely, fun, outdoorsy and creative boy he now is) that we'd definitely be sending out next child to Lisa (even though I chose not to back to my 9-5 job, I knew at least some time in Lisa's care was 100% worth it for he's own development).
Needless to say that our second son who started in September 2020 also thoroughly enjoys his days at Lisa's. I was slightly worried as he was such a clingy Mummy's boy, especially being home with me for so long, but he surprised me - he settled very quickly and is always so excited to go to 'Lee-Lee's house"! Lisa is once again helping our little boy to thrive, learn and socialize. He's made some really close friends which is so lovely to hear him talk about. I absolutely love how well Lisa and Rich communicate with us, their relationship with our kids, the digital updates on tapestry and sometimes on whatsapp during the day, and the photos - wow. Lisa is so amazing at taking natural photos of our children - I have started printing framing some of them!
The thing that sets Lisa and Rich apart for me is their passion and dedication for what they do - caring for children, treating them as one big family and helping them thrive in an inspiring, fun, creative and safe environment. I'm also very impressed with how often Lisa updates toys and play equipment - creating more outdoor play opportunities - her garden is like a kids heaven, so many amazing things to do!
We all truly see Lisa and Rich as a part of our family, and not having any family near by us it is a real blessing and we are so grateful to have her in our life. Thank you Lisa and Rich for all you do! We cannot recommend you highly enough. A*****

You have 2 beautiful boys that have always been a complete joy. Each one has been confident, happy and caring. The bonds that they have formed with the other children and us has made them a valuable and much loved part of our family. Such bright intelligent children with a love of learning makes them a total joy to be around. We are very lucky that you chose us, thank you for allowing us to be a part of their lives xxx
