Great childminder

Our boy had just turned one when he started with Lisa. Between quite a bit of his life being in lockdown and us recently having moved here, he basically just knew my husband and I, so understandably a bit clingy. Lisa was great with settling him and he took less than a week going 3 days per week until he was fine being dropped off, happy and chatty/babbling there and coming home not being overly clingy.
Tagteam / Lisa are really fantastic with providing lots of different kinds of entertainment, especially messy play, which I hugely appreciate as we are in a small rented place and can't do here. Also, they are good with working on whatever development is happening, like encouraging animal noises he is doing atm or right now we are practicing using a spoon, which Lisa is happy to do at our pace and accommodates baby-led, spoon or a mix like us. There is also outside time almost every day (unless the weather is really bad) at a variety of locations. Communication is fantastic with enough during the day to keep me (a slightly anxious first time mum) happy but not so much it is overwhelming, and a quick chats/emails/messaging at other times to touch base on whatever issues arise. My boy seems happy, engaged and playful and comes home really settled at the end of the day. I feel he is also getting good socialisation without having to face nursery, where I am pretty sure he would be overwhelmed. I really like that Lisa works with her partner to provide a nice environment and you can tell they are passionate about their work. Finally, she is amazing with being accommodating and flexible when unexpected things crop up - like having to get a Covid test done at the moment. Absolutely happy with my choice and would recommend to others.
