I found Lyndsey on this website 2 years ago when I was searching for a more homely childcare option for my little boy.
What can I say? I certainly found it at Little Bears!
Lyndsey cares for my now 3 year old like he was her own and he just loves her to bits. Individual and tailored care for Oliver is what he needed and that is what he gets at 'bears' and then some!
I cannot recommend Lyndsey enough. She is loving to all the 'bears' she has, she's flexible and even does overnights!!!!
If you are looking for the best childminder in the area, then please contact her.
I honestly think that when Oliver is 16 Lyndsey will be taking him to school. She has become a significant part of his life and I cannot ask for anything more from the service that she offers.

Keep up the EXCELLENT work and thanks so much for the support and love that you give to Oliver xx

Caring for Oliver (bobbins) if effortless.
You can't fail to warm To him and nurture him instantly.
I feel honoured to be part of these fundamental early years.
With Oliver's supportive and dedicated parents,brother and extended family Olli is a happy and lucky boy.
I'd be happy to keep bobbins untill he is 16.
