We have been so lucky to have Lea caring for Leo over the past four years. I switched to a childminder because my son wasn’t getting on in the nursery environment. I was worried about him not being in a “nursery/school setting” but I knew I was in safe & supportive hands as soon as I met Lea.

From the very start, she has provided a safe, nurturing environment where my son has been able to learn, grow, and thrive. Her communication has always been clear and thoughtful, keeping us informed and reassured every step of the way. She is professional, reliable, and truly dedicated to the children in her care. Most importantly, the bond she has built with Leo is something I will always treasure. I cannot thank her enough for the love, patience, and support she has shown him, he adores her and I always left feeling like he’s in good hands. She has been such an important part of his early years & I’m forever grateful for her. We will still continue to work with Lea on half terms & summer holidays because we don’t want to lose that connection.

If you’re unsure whether to choose nursery or childminder, I’d say choose Lea. My son thrived as soon as he switched!
