Our son has been going to Lucy since he was 5 months old, he is now 2. The care he has received has been outstanding and it has suited him at every stage from small baby to toddler. Lucy knows him so well and he loves going to Little Willows, in fact he asks when leaving "I come back?". The setting with Lisa ( who is also awesome) works so well and we love the fact he mixes with different ages and spends so much time outside. We are sad we didn't find out about it earlier for our daughter but she also got to spend some time there the year before she started school and she loved it!

Thank you for a lovely review ♥️
Lucy and Lisa at Little Willows are fantastic! It is a purpose built barn with a real homely, clean feel. My daughter has become very confident since being here and she is more than happy to greet Lucy in the morning with the biggest smile. My daughter knows her routine very well and treats Little Willows like a second home which is exactly what we wanted, as it shows how nurturing Lucy is and how safe she feels. The care really is outstanding. Lucy really takes the time to get to know the children and their families, taking a genuine interest in anyone who walks through the door. If you’re lucky enough to get a space at Little Willows, I promise you won’t be disappointed by the care your child receives. Lucy and Lisa are a fantastic duo that bounce off each other to create a happy and bubbly environment for children to thrive and achieve their milestones. Even after a long day Lucy is still smiling while telling me all about the day detailing what they’ve all been up to and my daughter always comes home so happy. Communication is fantastic and Lucy is never hesitant to answer any queries we have. We always receive lovely pictures of our daughter. I couldn’t ask for more fantastic people to support my daughter in her early years!

Wow Lucy thank you so much for a lovely review xx
Lucy works alongside Lisa in a beautiful homely barn setting. They are absolutely incredible and very invested in providing a setting that helps develop children and understand the world whilst creating a home from home feel.
I cannot recommend Lucy or Lisa enough and will forever be grateful that we found them for our little girl.

We have been fortunate enough to have Lucy as a childminder for nearly 5years. She has looked after both my girls from babies and I cannot fault the care she has given. She provides a lovely homely environment and really does treat them like one of her family. My children adore her and are always super excited to go to her home ( due to this unfortunately not so happy to leave 😊) she always goes the extra mile to make their time with her fun,exciting and engaging. All in all we feel blessed to have had such a wonderful experience with her.
