My little girl has recently left Lee's to go to preschool having been there for 2 years. I always knew she'd be in safe hands as her older brother used to go there before she did.
Lee was more than a childminder - she was the reassurance you need that when you're not around, there's another mother figure there to look after your child, to feed them, educate them, change them...the list goes on.
We did term times 8am-2pm and that suited us really well. I loved that she was flexible to help with the hours we needed.
Now my little one is at preschool, already you can see what a great start she's had. And Lee has played a big part in that. It's strange not to know what's going on while she's there as Lee would regularly send us updates throughout the day.
If you're considering going to a childminder, you won't be disappointed with Lee.

Lee looked after our daughter from the age of eight months until she was nearly three years old and we couldn't have picked a better childminder to look after her. She also looked after our son for three and a half years before that.
She cared for our daughter like she was her own and my daughter saw her as family.
Lee would send us photos and videos throughout the day and regularly communicate how our daughter was doing. She always encouraged children to be kind to one another and taught them how to share. She regularly had a wide range of activities planned, took them on outings or to playgroups which our daughter loved. She encouraged them to read, take part in exercise and to learn life skills.
Lee provided healthy food and snacks for our daughter too which was really convenient as we both worked long hours.
It is so hard going back to work and leaving your little one with someone else but this was like home from home. Thank you so much Lee.

My daughter has been going to Lee for over a year now, she loves it there so much and is always excited when it’s her days to go there. She has learnt so much with Lee and really grown in confidence with Lees help. We moved house and now travel 20 minutes for our daughter to go to Lee as we wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. She is amazing with the children and is always there with a cuddle when they are feeling sad. I would recommend her to anyone, your children will be in amazing hands with Lee and will be happy and content and you will be able to relax knowing they will feel right at home with her.

Lee looked after our son every day and collected him from school for the past year. Our son has additional needs and Lee completely understands him. She is patient, kind and just a fantastic childminder all round. She always does activities that help children learn and stimulates them. Nothing is ever a problem for Lee. We could go to work every day, knowing he was in good hands. He loved going to Lee’s and learnt so much and had so much fun with her. We cannot recommend Lee enough to look after any child. She is so accommodating and treats the children in her care like her own. She is just fantastic in every way!

I was recommended Lee by 3 people when I was in a panic trying to find a childminder for my 1 year old son. Lee made us feel super comfortable and happy straight off the bat, my little boy walked in and it was like he had been there for years!! My sons communication and physical skills in particular have noticeably improved since attending.
Lee is very accommodating, the whole family are lovely and welcoming. My little boy continues to learn and grow everyday whilst comfortable and happy which is all a parent could ever want. I'm so glad Lee was recommended to me and I couldn't imagine having anyone else now. 1 in a million!! And my son absolutely adores her - thank you Lee!

My son has been with Lee for over a year now and he has really grown up and made progress, he is alittle behind in some areas of his development and Lee works hard with him to encourage his communication and he loves attending, Lee offers a range of activities and opportunities for the children and we can't thank he enough for her support and with our family.

I was so nervous to go back to work once my little boy turned 1, but having Lee as our childminder helped that transition massively. I hadn't really had a day apart from my little boy so I was so nervous, but she took care of him so well. Constantly kept me updated throughout the day which was really important to me. He's now been at Lee's for well over a year now and I'd have no issues whatsoever about keeping him there until he was ready for school. At Lee's it's all about variety - my little boy learns so much everyday, Lee takes them out, always has activities for them to do & has a good selection of meals prepared.
Lee provided us with a review to take to our 2.5 year review. My HV was impressed that she had taken initiative to write one out for us and said it just showed what a great childminder she is!

Lee has had my little boy for over a year now, it’s just like home from home, he loves going and has come on heaps and bounds since starting. Lee sends regular updates with picture letting me know how my little boy is getting on.
Would highly recommend lee for child-minding she shows so much attention to the kids and my little boy has enjoyed his time with her two days a week he talks about his days there so highly!

Lee has been looking after my daughter in the build up to pre-school, we travel 15mins to get to Lee's setting. I really wouldn't want my children to go anywhere else.
At first my daughter was tough to settle in, which Lee helped loads with and soon enough she was settled and forgetting all about mummy. I get pictures through the day of all the different activities they get to do! My daughter can even spell her own name using a song!
I cannot recommend Lee enough, it's home away from home, cuddles, fresh cooked lunches, walks in the woods, soft play, garden play and best of all, Messy play!

My 2 boys have been with Lee since she started childminding. She’s been brilliant at keeping them busy and entertained. Each time I drop them off Lee has a new activity set up ready for them. She encourages lots of outdoor play and exploring. Taking the boys on walks and trips to the park. She assists the boys development by focussing on areas they need some encouragement through play. Lee has been so reliable, and she’s able to be flexible which has been a life saver for me working all different shifts. The boys love Lee, they feel safe and at home with her. They also love the food she makes (especially for them sometimes) I couldn’t ask for a better childminder for my boys.

Lee has been looking after my son for a little while now, since I went back to work from maternity leave. She sends both me and my partner, regular photos and updates, throughout the day, to put my mind at rest; something parents really value!
Everyday Lee looks after him, she writes in our communication book to keep me updated with the events of the day. She has a wide range of resources to stimulate him and he is always so happy to go there. I can go to work, knowing that my child is in safe hands and will be cared for as one of her own.
Lee is easy to talk to, friendly and does her best to accommodate my childcare needs. I am so glad that I chose her to look after my son.
