I highly recommend Lucy as an exceptional childminder. Our daughter Sophie started with Lucy when she turned 2 years old, with no English language skills. However, after just a year under Lucy's care, Sophie has become a fluent English speaker. This remarkable progress is a testament to Lucy's dedication and skill in nurturing children's language development.
Lucy's kindness and attentiveness towards Sophie have made a tremendous impact on our family. Sophie is always thrilled to spend time with Lucy, and her happiness is evident in the way she talks about her experiences. We are grateful for the positive environment Lucy creates, where our child feels safe, loved, and supported.
One aspect of Lucy's childminding service that we particularly appreciate is the emphasis on outdoor activities. With a spacious garden available, the children have ample opportunities to play and explore in a natural setting. We are delighted to see how much time they spend outdoors, as it contributes to their physical and emotional well-being.
Furthermore, Lucy's regular trips to Sutcliffe Park are an added bonus. The fact that the children have the chance to visit this park weekly indicates Lucy's commitment to providing a diverse range of experiences for the kids in her care. It's wonderful to know that Sophie is not only thriving linguistically but also enjoying the outdoors and discovering new places.
In conclusion, Lucy is an outstanding childminder who has had an immensely positive impact on our daughter's development. Sophie's fluency in English, her happiness, and the engaging experiences she has had under Lucy's care are testaments to the exceptional quality of Lucy's childminding service. We wholeheartedly recommend Lucy to any parents seeking a nurturing, attentive, and enriching environment for their child.
Thank you, Lucy!

We are so impressed with Dolly’s Daycare and highly recommend. Lucy and her team are the fantastic combination of kind and caring alongside providing a safe, fun and educational environment.
Our daughter started attending full-time when she was nearly two years old in 2020 and my baby boy started attending recently as I prepare to return to work after maternity leave. Knowing my baby boy will be wonderfully looked after by Lucy and her team makes it much easier to leave him in full time childcare when I return to work as I know he is the best hands.
We had a horrendous experience with a previous childminder with our daughter and we were hugely concerned about finding a nurturing environment that we (and my daughter) could trust again. Lucy was a true blessing for our family and I can’t recommend Dolly’s Daycare enough!

Lucy has welcomed my little girl who she has had since has been 20 months old with such open arms! From day one I had told her what I was after and how my daughters character was and she has been so nurturing and accommodating. If I have any concerns she always reassures me and provides me with daily updates and photos which was a BIG thing for me as I liked to know what my daughter had done throughout the day.
My little girl is so happy to be dropped off in the morning she literally skips to the front door. I know she is happy there and when I see the other children it always looks like such a fun happy stimulating environment. Would definitely recommend Lucy!

Lucy is such a warm and lovely person. The setting she has designed in her home is a wonderland for children and they have access to her large garden to play in as well. Every day is different and full of fun, filled with indoor and outdoor activities and games as well as much needed calm and downtime. Her home is near Sutcliffe Park which is great for trips out and time at the playground.
Our daughter started there just before her 1st birthday and is now just over 2. She absolutely loves her days with Lucy and the brilliant environment she's created, as well as the joy that her and her team bring to the day, have been central to forming the confident and happy little girl that's she's become.
We couldn't be happier!

To say Lucy is an amazing childminder feels like an understatement, she is everything we could have hoped for when choosing someone to look after our son, and so much more! She is the most caring, loving, reasonable, reassuring and understanding person, and has the most amazing team working with her. Our son absolutely loves Lucy and has the best time with her and all the other children. His day is filled with so much fun, activities and outings, so much more then we could provide him whilst working full time. We trust Lucy implicitly and have no concerns when our son is in her care. Rest assured, when choosing Lucy as your childminder, your child will always come first and will be in the very best care!

I was very nervous when I had to start looking for a childminder but soon as I met lucy I just had this good feeling straight away.
I had met with a lot of childminders in the area and no one seemed to give me that reassurance like she did. I knew I had to go with my intuition. My son took to her straight away and it is clear she has a strong passion for working with children. I feel she treats my son like he is part of her family and he tells me every day 'I love Lucy'.
He is thriving so well in her setting and his speech appears to be developing tremendously since being with her. My son is always so excited to see Lucy and sometimes doesn't even want to leave. I cannot thank lucy enough for just being her! she truly is amazing and anyone that gets a placement with her will know they made the best decision for there little one.
Thank you Lucy you really are exceptional!

I definitely found choosing the right childcare for my one-year-old (and first baby) a minefield, so I’m so grateful to have found Lucy and her lovely family setting. Lucy made us feel welcome and relaxed from day one, and though I was nervous, I found her knowledge and professionalism really reassuring. She’s caring, understanding and flexible – everything we could have wanted, and (most importantly) I know my little one was very happy there.

I use to worry leaving my 1 year old daughter at nursery, so I changed to a Child Minder and it was the best decision I've ever made. My daughter is so excited to see Lucy every week, and always seems so happy when I arrive to pick her up, Lucy has a beautiful home with a spacious garden for the kids, and a beautiful family and my daughter loves them all! Lucy is such a kind lovely Lady, and I feel lucky that she is my child minder, very very highly recommended xxx

I had been looking for a childminder local to the kidbrooke / Eltham area for the last few months and had not managed to find a perfect fit. As soon as I met Lucy I felt confident that she would take good care of my son, she is so welcoming and has a beautiful home. Lucy is reliable and flexible and my son loves her family. Highly recommend!

I would recommend Lucy to any parent who is looking for a safe, loving and caring home/person to look after their child.
Lucy looked after my 1 year old son when I returned to work and he was looked after with so much love and care it made me relax when dropping him off in the mornings before work. He had plenty to keep him entertained in the house and Lucy also took him to regular play groups, sending me photos which I loved.
I love the fact that she also done home cooked meals.
I honesty couldn’t recommend her enough x
