Lisa Wickens's Reviews

Super Twin Childminder!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder for our twins. She has cared for them since before they were 1 year old, and over the past 3.5 years she has become such an important part of their lives.

From the very beginning, she created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where both children have thrived. Although they are twins, they have very different personalities, and one of the things we have appreciated most is how she has always taken the time to understand and support them as individuals. She has encouraged their unique interests, strengths, and characters, helping each of them grow in confidence and develop in their own way.

They have loved spending time outdoors, exploring, playing, and learning about the world around them. They have also thoroughly enjoyed the many creative activities she provides, especially painting and arts and crafts, which have allowed their imaginations and confidence to flourish. Every day has been filled with fun, learning, and new experiences.

As they prepare to start school, we can clearly see the positive impact she has had on their development. She has helped them become confident, independent, kind, and curious children who are excited and ready for this next chapter. The foundations she has given them during these important early years are invaluable.

As parents, we have always had complete trust in her care. Knowing our children were happy, safe, and loved gave us enormous peace of mind. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine dedication to the children she looks after are exceptional.

We cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for our twins and for us as a family over the last 3.5 years. We will always be grateful for the love, care, and support she has given our children. We would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for outstanding childcare.

Fantastic childminder

My daughter has been going to Lisa for nearly 2 years now.
She started when she was 10 months old.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our daughter has received. Lisa has been absolutely amazing since day one. She is kind, reliable, and genuinely caring in everything she does. She has created such a safe, welcoming, and fun environment that our daughter has truly thrived in.
It’s clear how much thought and effort goes into each day, from engaging activities to supporting our daughter’s development and confidence. Communication has always been excellent, and we’ve felt completely at ease knowing she is in such capable hands.
We feel very lucky to have found someone so trustworthy and nurturing, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for outstanding childcare.

Positive experience with Lisa

Kai has been going to Lisa for nearly a year now. It’s hard going back to work for the first time after maternity leave and leaving your baby, but Lisa put us at ease and made us feel comfortable straight away.

Kai loves going to Lisa’s. When we pull up in the car Kai smiles when he knows he is at Lisa’s. Lisa always keeps us up to date by sending us pictures of Kai’s day, which he always looks so happy and enjoying himself.

Kai’s development, social skills and speech has really improved since starting with Lisa.

Lisa is very caring, genuine and reliable. It’s clear that Lisa enjoys her job and cares about all the children she looks after.

I would highly recommend Lisa as a childminder.

Fantastic childminder

If you're looking for a nurturing, safe and fun environment where you know your child will be well looked after, then Lisa is the childminder for you.

Our daughter has been going to Lisa for almost a year and has loved every day. She immediately liked and trusted Lisa, and so did we. They go out and about a lot which is fantastic, and often do craft and cooking activities. We get sent pictures of what she's up to so we know she's OK and having a good day. Our daughter's physical and social development have been hugely benefitted from the time she's spent with Lisa.

Our daughter's needs are always taken care of, and she comes back to us having eaten well and with a big smile every day. Lisa is clearly knowledgeable about early years development, illnesses and all things related. Our daughter has never been sent home unwell without good reason.

Lisa made a point of introducing us to her family (who are all lovely), which made us feel comfortable knowing the other people are daughter is around during the day.

Lisa is a lovely person who genuinely cares about our daughter and a our family. She creates a real home-from-home environment, and we never worry about our daughter when she's in Lisa's care as we know she will be well looked after and have a brilliant time. I would not hesitate to recommend Lisa.

A great childminder

My little boy has been going to Lisa for nearly 2 years, she was the first person other than immediate family to have looked after him. Although it was a big deal for me at the time I felt completely relaxed knowing that he was with her, he loves being at her house and often doesn’t want to come home. He is always coming home with various things that he has baked, drawn or made for me and I know she spends a lot of time outside in the garden playing football and at the park which is his favourite place to be. I am sure that the time he has spent with Lisa and the other children she looks after has contributed to how well he is progressing developmentally, particularly with his speech. I know he will very much miss going to her when he starts at pre school.
