Our daughter stayed with Lesley for 2 years and we all loved every moment of it.
Lesley is more than a childminder she provides a home from home, children are happy, never bored and learn a lot.
On a practical level, There are constant updates on the activities of the day, flexibility when need be and a lot of care.
The hardest part has been to say good bye…
We can only recommend Lesley.

Our son started with Lesley when he was 14 months old and has enjoyed two years in Lesley’s care. When we first met Lesley we instantly knew she was the right childminder for us. She is highly experienced, confident and trustworthy. It’s clear Lesley loves being around children and they love being in her company too. Lesley treats the children like they are part of her family and gets them out and about daily to play park, beach, soft play, toddlers class…they are always doing something. It is a very happy environment offered. We really appreciate the regular photographs sent to us on WhatsApp each day and our daily diary so we know how much our son has ate, slept and amount of nappy changes ! It was one of the hardest decisions for our son to move on to a nursery to take advantage of government funded hours. We feel so lucky to have had Lesley as our childminder as she has helped our son have the best start in life.

My son went to Lesley's for about a year, unfortunately due to moving house we had to stop. Lesley provides Superb service for children she has in her care! My son is very energetic and he had received exactly what he needed at Lesley's as there were many outdoor activities and also trips to different places which my son loved. Thanks a lot for everything, James misses you a lot!xxx

Lesley is an excellent childminder and has played such a huge part in my sons development, he’s very sociable and confident and I cannot thank her enough for the childcare she has provided.
I was kept updated throughout each day which really put me at ease (as a first time mum), it was lovely seeing photos of how much fun he was having.
I also received a daily diary which detailed meal times, nap times, nappies etc.
Lesley’s home is a great environment.
Highly recommend!

Our daughter started with Lesley at 13 months. We chose a childminder as I wanted a mixture of ages in a homely setting. We immediately felt comfortable with Lesley in her beautiful home with all the space, toys and activities a child could want! We were happy that the children would be out and about each day at different activities, eg mixing with other children at local playgroups or visiting playgrounds and softplays further afield. Our daughter has been to places we had never taken her eg Gorgie Farm and Butterfly World so she has made amazing new memories with Lesley! We feel she has a genuine love for the children in her care, encourages their interests and development, our daughter truly loves spending time with her and we know that she is safe and well looked after. Lesley sends pictures throughout the day so we know what they are getting up to and most of pictures of our daughter that we have around our house have been taken by her...she has a real knack for getting a big smile! Current circumstances meant our daughter did not attend for the past 5 months but she restarted this week and has been very excited. Shes now 2yrs 2m and talks about Lesley's house, being picked up in the car, seeing the other children and what they will do together. Im so glad we chose this setting as it has been a success all round!

Lesley looked after my son from P1 to P5 and I never once had a moment's worry when he was with her. She provides a caring, fun, safe and active childminding service. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder.

Our son Finn (8 months when he started childcare) loves going to Lesley, from day one he’s been really happy there! Lesley has been brilliant at keeping us updated during the day with photos and messages (very reassuring for first time parents!). She keeps the children entertained at the house, park, toddlers groups or trips to the beach and other fun places, Finn is always exhausted when he gets home :) I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lesley to any parent, we consider ourselves lucky to have found her!

Another fantastic experience with Lesley. My daughter has been going to Lesley's childminding for the last 2 years and has had an absolute ball. Lesley had also previously looked after my little boy and for me there was no one else I wanted to look after my little girl. Lesley is a very active, hands on childminder who always has lovely activities planned, from toddlers group to walks down the beach, day trips further afield like Fairy Trails or trips to all the best local parks, days at soft play and my daughter’s favourite - home baking. She always keeps me updated throughout the day, with my little lady having the best time. Nothing is too much trouble for Lesley, she is super accommodating, helpful, kind and caring, always happy to go that extra mile - she really has been like a second Mum for my little girl. Not only do I consider Lesley a fantastic childminder, I would also consider her a friend. I cant recommend Lesley enough, your little one really would be in the best hands!

My son was with Lesley 2 days a week since he was 11 months (he's now nearly 3) and when I dropped him off he would run through the door without a backward glance. He loved his time with Lesley who would take him on wonderful outings to the beach, the playground, soft play and provides lots of toys in her home and outside in her garden. My son would always talk happily about Lesley and his time there and the other children. Lesley always sent lots of updates through the day. Sadly due to a house move, we have had to change our childcare arrangements. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

My son has been with Lesley since he was 10 months old and we are delighted with the care she provides for him. She is genuinely kind and loving and the children are always out and about at playgroups, parks and other fun places. He has a great time with her and is always talking about her, her wee boy, and the other children she looks after. She is always reliable and great at communicating with us during the day. She’s also been very patient with the ongoing potty training! I am really glad we found her - as other parents have also commented, it really helps you feel good about being at work when you know your child is in such good hands.
