As soon as I visited Lisa I knew this is where I wanted our girl to be. Lisa is warm and welcoming and really takes pride in what she does. Her home is very child friendly and the garden is the kind of garden you wanted as a child. My daughter settled in really well; actually from the first few hours settling in session she told me she wanted to go back. Lisa does amazing activities with the children. I am so pleased we found Lisa if you have to have childcare then you should not look any further every family should have a Lisa in their lives. ?

My son started primary school in September and we were looking for a childminder to take and collect him from school three days a week. He settled really quickly with Lisa and has made good friends with the other children in her care. Lisa offers a lovely setting for children, plenty of toys to play with, a fantastic garden and engages the children in craft and fun educational activities. We are incredibly grateful to have found Lisa and would highly recommend her as a childminder.

I was looking for someone to look after my son Archie for a few weeks,he was 11/2 at the time.a friend gave me Lisa's number and told me to ring her,even if it was for some advice...that day was the best day of my life and I have never looked back.my son is very full on and demanding,I have to admit I was struggling to keep up with him and his demands.i rang Lisa to explain everything and also how I was feeling.i went to meet her with Archie at her home which was lovely as we met the other children to.lisa reassured me that I just needed a little help to take the weight off me as I felt awful for leaving him..he's never been happier and loves going there.he has a best friend there now who he talks about all the time.his talking,counting,colours and number are coming on leaps and bounds.lisa also sends me pictures of Archie through out the day just so I can keep up to date with what he's doing.they do so much that when he come home he's shattered,Lisa has also helped me and Archie with his potty training which was a struggle to start with but we both kepted going with it and he's been nappy free now for 2 months,he had his 2 year view not so long ago and he came up over average for his age,so I do owe a lot to Lisa for all her help,she's not just a good childminder,she became a very good friend and I couldn't thank her more..

Being a childminder for a full time shift worker is no easy job !!!! Lisa however has been my childminder for my two boys now for over 10 years and I can not recommend her highly enough. My boys have always been well cared for and love going to Lisa's where they enjoy the fun, activities and especially the outdoor space but are also supported with their studies and homework. My boys are treated like one of the family and it means that I can concentrate at work knowing that I don't have to worry about the boys. I also consider Lisa as a friend and someone I can discuss any concerns I have regarding my children. I know that my boys are reaching that age (and have probably past that age!!) when they can look after themselves but they still love going to Lisa's and I will be delaying the inevitable for as long as possible. Definatley not just a childminder but a second Mum and a home from home.

Lisa has been our childminder for the last five years, after she was recommended by many of our friends and teaching colleagues. She originally cared for our daughter, for one day a week, until she started school and currently has our three year old son, who has been with her since he was six months old.
we have always been extremely pleased and impressed with the level of care Lisa provides and both of our children have always loved their 'Lisa days'! This is due to the range and quality of activities that Lisa offers and her kind and caring nature. Lisa is very flexible and has always tried to have the children for additional days if needed to ensure continuity of care and is always reliable.
Both of our children have benefited from forming strong friendships, due to the small numbers of children in Lisa's care, and she and her family ensure that they feel comfortable in her home setting, with all members of her family. Our children have always walked straight in to Lisa's home with no qualms and obviously thoroughly enjoy the time they spend there.
Lisa frequently visits Playgroups with the children in her care and we love to see the many art and craft activities that they bring home from these groups. Our son has benefited from extending his learning experiences in a variety of settings with Lisa, including the fabulous outside area of her garden and local woodland.
Lisa has always ensured that we are fully informed about our children's progress in relation to the EYFS criteria and we always enjoy bringing their books and folders home to see what milestones they have met, and their future targets. It is lovely to see the many photographs that document the children's experiences and their ability in different areas of the EYFS curriculum.
We would very happily recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a childminder...and have done so in the past! She is fabulous with both the children and their parents and we love her enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment of spending time with the children in her care!

My eldest Daughter began going to Lisa after school this year and we quickly went from 1 to 2 days as she enjoys it so much and it's reassuring to know she is somewhere she feels comfortable like a home from home! After looking into what Lisa offers for age 2 to preschool, we have decided to send our youngest as of September for 3 full days instead of the nursery we did have her booked into...having spent a a couple hours at the house with a few of the younger children, I can see how wonderful Lisa is with them and her outstanding offsted report confirms this! The house is the perfect environment, safe warm and welcoming. The garden offers an amazing outdoor space with lots to see and do! Lisa's teenage son and husband also get involved when at home which is wonderful, creating a real family atmosphere.
A childminder plays a really important part in bringing our children up and Lisa is just perfect for that role...an overall amazing, kind and dedicated woman!

Lisa has been in our family for nearly nine years. She has had my little ones from babies. There are closer childminders to me but there is no way we would change. My youngest starts school this year and I will be keeping them at Lisa's for all the holidays.
We have regular journals to peruse and daily pictures of what they are up to. Both my children love Lisa. Like I said she is in your family now. All the children there play together nicely and respect each other. They do all sorts of fun things, playing in the woods, playgroups, bug hunting, drawing and painting, play doh, jigsaws, number and letter recognition, handwriting practice etc etc etc etc! They are learning all the time and don't even know it. Both of mine were more than ready to start school, with heaps of confidence and enthusiasm.
I would recommend Lisa in a heartbeat to anyone who wants a genuinely caring, loving and learning environment for their children. You couldn't ask or want a better environment for your child. ?

My 5 and a half year old daughter has been with Lisa since she was 9 months old, helping me return to education. Since this time, my daughter has grown with ridiculous amounts of confidence and a highly empathetic, outgoing and active personality.
Since my daughter has started school, I have had no issues with her transition onto her next stage of education, with her meeting each EYFS target. Furthermore, her communication and social skills with other children are exceptional, due to the fact that she has been in an environment with both older and younger children since a very young age.
Another exceptional feature of Lisa's childminding is the activities that the children have the opportunities to do. Not only do they attend childminder groups, they also do everyday activities such as walk through the local town and into the library, as well as having an amazing outdoor space for the children to play and get their hands dirty (quite literally!).
Without the support of my childminder, I can fundamentally say that I would not have been able to progress onto the University degree that I am currently studying and the transition from childminder to school would not have been as easy for my daughter. My daughter is definitely staying with Lisa for the foreseeable future!
Faultless childminding done to the most exceptional standards, going over and beyond what is considered for a childminder.

I have had Lisa care for both of my children from the age of 9 months, first my eldest and I was so happy with her that I didn't hesitate to register my youngest to her 2 years later. She provides a fantastic setting for both boys. They are both happy, content and confident as a result of the time they spend with her and her family. She has them integrated into a larger group of children regularly so they have the best of both worlds with a home from home environment and also plenty of socialising in large groups. She has a wide range of activities that they participate in from woodland walks and exploring to playing in her garden in the mud kitchen. We are also delighted with the contact we have from her, both sharing written and photographic content so we can see what the boys do day to day and have a clear idea on where they are in terms of progress and EYFS. Shes also been fantastic in providing advice when we want it and we have great 2 way contact.
We would highly recommend her.
