Our son spent a year at Lesleys lovely home. Lesley offers brilliant home cooked meals, a lovely garden for the children to play in and has an abundance of great toys and books. Our son thrived with her and he still talks about how much he loved Lesley and Anittha. Lesley takes such care and love over every little detail. He'd come home with adorable drawings and arts and crafts and loved telling me all about his friends he'd played with that day. But the most important and invaluable thing is how much Lesley loves the children she looks after. Our son was so well cared for and Ill always be so grateful for that.

Our little boy was with Lesley from 1-2.5 years. He loved going to Lesley and Anittha’s and every time he came back, I noticed he had learnt a new word, phrase or song. It’s such a lovely environment and a great stepping stone for those who want/need a bridge between home and going to nursery. Lesley and Anittha are extremely thoughtful and would always celebrate birthdays and mark holidays with pictures and crafting. A really lovely home away from home.

My daughter was with Lesley from 9 months to 2 years and during that time she really flourished from a nervous Covid baby into a confident little person with lots of friends and interests. She always loved going in to Lesley’s house and we saw it like a little family, where she was lovingly cared for. Lesley is really good at marking birthdays and cultural festivities, decorating the house to make these events feel special and having different activities to mark the seasons. She’s been very accommodating to us as working parents, offering long hours where needed. Highly recommend!

I sent my eldest daughter to Lesley & Anita's and was blown away by how happy all the children are and how confident they are. I've also sent my second. They've both loved it! And my eldest didn't want to leave.
Both have incredible speech, confidence and lots of fun with their friends all day. They also love Lesley's cooking and actually eat it!
My favourite thing about Lesley's is how happy all the children are and how much they genuinely care about them all and how loved they all feel.
I've felt really safe and confident about sending them both there which I know can be difficult for new mums approaching childcare options.
If I have more children I will definitely send them here.

We have been so happy taking our son to Lesley's over the last two years and feel very lucky to have found such a brilliant setting for him. From the moment we first met Lesley and Anittha (who works with Lesley) we could just feel how much love and care they put in to their work, they really do go above and beyond to make sure the kids are happy, secure, and having a great experience - they all receive so much love.
Lesley's home setting is bright and warm, and our son also loves spending time in her the garden playing with the different activities that are set up every day. He has found some great friends during his time at Lesley's and there is also a very friendly atmosphere amongst the parent community which has helped us with arranging playdates etc outside of childcare hours too.
I couldn't recommend Lesley enough - it is a happy place, and for our us it feels like more than just a childcare setting but an extension of our home and family!
