Little Explorers's Reviews

The BEST childminder

Liz at Little Explorers has cared for both of my children since they were just 9 months old, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a more caring, reliable person to look after them. Liz feels like part of our family providing a warm, safe, and loving environment where my children have truly thrived. Her daughter Lexi was born not long after my daughter Lily and they are the best of friends!

She provides a wonderful balance of fun, learning, and structure in her daily routine. My children have always excited to go, and they come home happy, confident, and full of stories about what they’ve done that day from creative crafts to outdoor play and learning activities.

Communication has always been fantastic; she sends food menu for the week, photos of what my daughter has been doing and she leaves no questions unanswered. Liz even keeps me organised on top of my work/life balance - reminding me about important forms and deadlines in regards to funding/school places.

I couldn’t recommend Liz at Little Explorers highly enough to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.

The Best Childminder

My little girl has just turned 2 and has been with Liz since she was 9 months old. I can honestly say Liz is the most incredible childminder who shows such a deep care words the children she minds. My daughter LOVES going to Liz and being in a surrounding that’s homely, friendly, clean, fun and all around amazing. She runs to the door every morning, goes inside and shuts the door on me because she is so excited for her day ahead. Liz also logs everything on Tapestry so I can see what she has been up to with her days and what she eats etc. Liz also takes time each morning/pick up to talk to parents and to make that effort with us also is warming. I honestly couldn’t recommend a better childminder and feel like Liz is now apart of the family.

An outstanding childminder

My son has been with Liz for the last three months after he started in October, at just 9 months old. I was incredibly anxious about putting my son into a childcare setting at such a long age, but Liz made the transition back to work from maternity leave both smooth and stress-free, as I know my little one is in an environment where he is cared for and thriving. Liz is incredibly communicative and provides detailed logs of my sons days and activities, along with pictures, which are always lovely to see. My son is incredibly happy with Liz - he beams with excitement when we show up at the door each morning.
It is very clear how much Liz cares for each child she looks after and how passionate she is about her work, this is reflected in just how happy my son is to be there each day.

A Fantastic Childminder

My daughter is almost 2 and has been with Liz for about 8 months. Since joining Little Explorers, her confidence has grown and she has progressed so much. She was very quiet and shy when she first joined, but now she gets excited to go and happily waves me goodbye with a big smile, which is so reassuring.

Liz keeps us updated daily with what she’s been up to, what she’s eaten and how she’s slept, plus weekly photos and a rundown of their week. The children do a great mix of indoor and outdoor activities, and it’s clear how much care and effort Liz puts in. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Little Explorers to anyone looking for a childminder - Liz has been fantastic with my little girl!
