Elizabeth has been a Childminder to my Daughter, Lily (4 years old) since January 2013. Lily was two when she started and is now leaving to go to school full time. At first I was nervous about using a Childminder as Lily had previously gone to a nursery. However, the first time we met with Elizabeth, Lily took an instant liking to her and was completely relaxed with her, all my worries melted away.

Lily has thoroughly enjoyed her time with Elizabeth; she made lots of friends with children from other Childminders where Elizabeth regularly meets up with her network of Childminding friends. Elizabeth provides a wide range of activities and games to entertain her children as well as taking them to the park, play groups and soft play. Lily has especially enjoyed the days she spent with Elizabeth during the holidays where they went on day trips. She was always full of stories when she came home, but more often than not Elizabeth had often already kept me updated with photos and messages of their day. I also loved receiving the many crafts, cards and gifts that Lily had made with Elizabeth!

I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough, she provides a loving, caring and safe environment for your little one to grow and develop in. She is utterly reliable, professional and will go out of her way to accommodate your needs. I felt so contented in the knowledge that Lily’s days were full of adventure and that when she needed it, Elizabeth would not hesitate to comfort and reassure her.

Whilst Lily has been with Elizabeth she has become a little social butterfly and her confidence has grown massively. Although we no longer need a Childminder I am sure we will always stay in touch, we feel like Elizabeth has become part of our family!
