My 3yr old daughter absolutely loves going to Lisa. She goes full of excitement and returns full of lovely stories of her day. Lisa has seen her grow from small baby into a precocious toddler and has supported her in every step. I feel totally confident in her abilities and feel perfectly at ease leaving my girl with her. Lisa provides are safe fun environment which is nurturing and educational. My slightly older daughter has been too and would go back (if she wasn’t at school) simply haven’t found a better childminder

My daughter began going to Lisa at age 2 and we have been more than satisfied with the care. When I first visited Lisa it became very clear to me that her job is her passion and the children in her care felt very at home! My daughter is very anxious around new people and even takes a while to warm up when visiting family members which makes it hard for me when leaving her with anyone but with Lisa I have not had any worries...Annabelle is always excited to see her in the morning and comes home happy with lots to tell.
We have Lisa to thank for lots regarding Annabelle's development, we especially noticed her speech and vocabulary thriving through her first year there and we have no doubts that she will be ready for school in September...although I'm sure she will miss Lisa and her childcare buddies dearly!

My daughter has been childminded by Lisa since she was 9 months old - she is now 7 1/2 years old.
Since day one, my daughter has thrived in Lisa’s home setting, after struggling at a nursery prior to this. Over the past 7 years, Lisa has taken my daughter on day to day outings, such as walking the dogs, to the library and to the shops in Midsomer Norton, keeping the structure of family living. As well as this, Lisa ensures that each and every occasion is celebrated throughout the year including; Easter, Ramadan and of course, pancake day!
Before my daughter started school, she would attend Lisa’s 4 days a week, all day. Currently, my daughter is both dropped off and picked up from school by Lisa, up to 4 days a week, and when it’s time to collect, my daughter is always finishing arts and crafts or playing out in the garden.
As quoted by my daughter “the best thing about Lisa’s house is everything. I play with my friends all the time and with all the toys, but I do help to clean them up, because that’s good manners”.
My daughter adores her time with Lisa, and as a parent, I believe that it’s an incredibly rare gift to be adored by every child in her care, and one that Lisa undoubtedly holds.

Wow thank you so much x As you know i love all the children in my care unconditionally and believe that their early years should be fun and carefree which is why i provide a home from home environment for them. Your kind words and those of your gorgeous daughter has let me know i am doing a good job, something i am incredibly proud of. Thank you once again xxx
We use Lisa to collect from St. Johns school three times a week. My daughter has always been very happy with this arrangement and looks forward to her time spent with Lisa and the other children. When she first started going she used to get very cross with me if I collected her early!
Lisa is friendly and approachable. She has always been flexible to my needs and has got me out of a tight spot on more that one occasion with little notice which has been very reassuring for me as a working parent.
I know that my daughter will miss her time spent at Lisa's house when she moves up to Secondary school later in the year ...... :(
I cannot praise or recommend Lisa highly enough for the peace of mind and the excellent service she provides. 5***

Thank you so much for your kind and lovely words :) My job is made so much easier when i have such a warm, caring, beautiful young girl to care for. We will all miss her enormously when she leaves in the summer. She is a credit to you and is loved by us all x x x
My child Sean has been coming to Lisa’s since February 2017 and since the very first visit, he has always felt really happy and comfortable. My child is on the ASD spectrum and so new people and places can be difficult for him. He has settled in so well at Lisa’s, even though he only goes once a week, that I have requested more after school child minding as soon as it is available. Sean is already picked up from school by different relatives and also had another child minder for the first 6 years of his life, so to be so accustomed to a new child minder after only one visit has put both my and my wife’s minds at ease. He says he enjoys the after school snacks and also the different colouring and drawing activities Lisa does with him. Even with other children in the house at the same time, Lisa always manages to make some time for Sean and joins in with the activities that he is interested in. It was a real blessing to find Lisa just at the time we needed her most. Thank you

Thank you for such lovely kind words. Sean is such a warm and friendly boy it woud be impossible not to have welcomed him as one of our family :) He is the happiest child and always willing to join in with any activity that we may do. All of the children love and accept him for who he is. He brings real joy to our home, so thank YOU for choosing us x x x
The greatest complement we can give Lisa is that both of our boys (now 5 & 2) love every day with her. They both started with Lisa from 9 months old when my wife returned to work. The eldest son is now at school and Lisa does some of the drop offs and pick ups and our youngest is at Lisa's 3 days a week. Lisa has been and will remain a big part of their lives. The family environment that's provided instantly struck a chord with us. As soon as we walked in and started chatting it felt right for us. Lisa, Rich and their family make all of the children feel right at home. The kids have benefited from plenty of outdoor learning and play making use of the wooded area and local walks. Attending play groups means the children get to interact in larger groups regularly and even get treated to numerous days out (including Longleat). The journals and photos we get daily are real treasures for us and it's great to re-live the day with the boys. My eldest had various dietary intolerances which Lisa fully understood and supported us with. Following the EYFS curriculum meant his transition to school was seamless and his base in phonics and maths has proved invaluable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lisa to anybody.

Thank you so much, it means more than you can ever know to hear such high praise x x x I love your boys like my own, as you know. They are bundles of fun and mischief which i adore. They have never been a moments trouble and have such a jest for life it is infectious :) I cant imagine them not being here, and nor would i want to! Love them with all my heart x x x
Our son has been in Lisa’s care for the last year and has loved every minute! Lisa is warm and welcoming and provides the perfect home from home environment.
Our son does a variety of activities with Lisa and goes for lovely days out with his friends ! Lisa updates us everyday with photos of what they have been up to and suggestions for things to practice at home in terms of learning. It always feels like Lisa understands our sons needs really well and is always looking to help
him in his learning.
It’s not hard to see why Lisa has an outstanding ofsted - we really can not recommend her more highly!

I started using Lisa when my son was 8 months old ... he is now 10. When my daughter was born there was no question about where she was going to go. Needless to say I value Lisa (and her family) immensely. Her care goes way beyond a job title. She provides a home from home for each of the children that she minding. My children are happy and confident in her company, in fact, they feel like it is their second home. I can not write enough words to recommend Lisa enough ... If I could give her 10 stars I would.

WOW thank you xxx I was so worried when the time was coming for your children to move on to primary school thinking i wouldnt be seeing them anymore, how wonderful it was to hear that you wanted me for all the school holidays :) They have been a part of our family for so long we cant imagine them not being here! We all love them so much, they are bright beautiful children that are a credit to you both. Even though thry arent here every day they come in during the holidays as if they have never been away. They mix in with everyone and are so kind, caring and sociable it makes my job a real pleasure. Dont ever take them away! :) xxx
My son has been going to Lisa’s before and after school 3 days a week for the last 18 months. He loves being with her and has made some excellent friends in the other children. Knowing children in other years has been great for his confidence in school. Lisa is an excellent child minder and provides lots of fun activities for the children. Her outside space is wonderful and great for the children to play in during good weather.

My daughter has been going to Lisa's for over a year now. Lisa is extremely helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble. She does a variety of activities with the children; a mixture of fun and educational both inside and outside the home and my daughter cannot wait to see her each morning and after school. The atmosphere at Lisa's house is always happy, relaxed and under control. Lisa has strong family values and I feel that her own children, who are polite and well behaved are a testament to the effectiveness of these values. I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough - as soon as you meet her you will instantly know she is the one to look after your child/children.
