My Summary
About Me
*****Full/part time places available from September 2021***
I am an Ofsted registered childminder and a mum of three boys aged 16, 13 and 8, offering full and part -time care for children aged 0- 12. I live in Haydock with my husband and 3 sons, we are close to Ashton and Newton- le - willows and are within close proximity to the A580 East Lancs Road and the M6 motorway. We are just across the road from a large playing field with childrens playground and are close to all local amenities. I attend a number of different playgroups, including mums and tots, music and dance groups and soft play areas, giving children plenty of opportunity to learn and develop new skills. Our conservatory has been converted into a fully equipped play room with plenty of toys and resources to meet the needs of all ages and abilities. We have a outdoor play area which we have a climb n slide play centre, a sand pit, water play table and numerous ride on toys for all ages and stages of development. We also have a very large selection of outdoor games. I have a healthy eating policy and have a four week meal plan which I have devised with the help of the children. We go on lots of different outings such as the farm, Liverpool museam, Splashworld, Fruit picking, Safari park and pottery painting studio to name but a few. The children in my care are never bored as they are always occupied with different things to do and places to go. I have a 7 seater vehicle which is fully insured for my business and is fitted with age appropriate car seats.
I have an Ofsted registered assistant who is also paediatric first aid trained, DBS checked, has a full clean driving licence and her own car insured for business use to cover day trip and holiday club outings. She has an NVQ level 3. We both wear uniform t-shirts with the company logo and children are provided with Hi Visibility vest and wrist bands with my contact number on for outings.

I am a member of PACEY and am fully insured with them for public and employers liability. I have also done numerous voluntary placements in local schools working within the Early Years Foundation stage age group. I am a member of the St Helens childminder network and attend regular meetings to develop and progress myself further.

Lynsey and Amanda go above and beyond for the children in their care. My little girl has started with them in September and honestly can't recommend them enough. My little one goes in with the biggest smile on her face in a Morning when she sees lynsey.
I was so worried to start back work and leave my baby with all this horrible pandemic going on but they both have made it so much easier to do so.
They do something every single day with them, it's so nice to see her little adventures.
Thank you so much ladies,for keeping our children safe and for doing everything you do. :) xx

My Son has been going to Lynsey's since September 2015 3 full days a week and he absolutely loves it!
Lynsey always fills his day with fun learning activities and adventures to lots of different places some of which I would have never even thought of!
Both Lynsey and Amanda are both very caring & honest people which puts your mind at ease as I know from experience it's not easy leaving your child to go back to work. I can say that they both made the whole experience that little bit easier as I knew my son was happy to go and that really does help.
Lynsey has always been really helpful if we have require extra childcare as my son only goes term time and if I need childcare, given plenty notice Lynsey always tried to accommodate.
All in all I would really recommend childcare here, if your looking for a loving, trustworthy, fully qualified childcare with activity packed fun days for your children..look no further and speak to Lynsey.
Very happy Mummy, Daddy and Son

My daughter has been going to Lynsey's since Jan 16 and finished in July 16 due to starting Full Time School in Sept 16. We wish we had known earlier about Lynsey as we would have definately sent Maisie earlier.
In Maisie's time there she has loved every moment. They are always active and doing things and always Learning New Things. Maisie has really enjoyed her French Sessions.
Maisie has never complained when coming home from Lynseys and always has a Smile on her face.
Lynsey is a Lovely and Caring Childminder and She always makes sure that the Children are Fully Entertained for their stay.
Lynsey has been really flexible with me as I needed wrap around from Nursery but only needed Childcare for a few hours 3 Days a Week which was great for me.
Highly Recomended from a Happy Mummy, Daddy & Daughter

I have known Lynsey since 2011 when she became the childminder for my daughter when she was 11 months old. She is currently childminder for my son and has been since he too was 11 months old.
Choosing a childminder is a huge thing as you are trusting somebody else with your children and I can honestly say, I cannot recommend Lynsey enough. I don't think I have enough space here to right how amazing she is but I will give it a go.
She is caring, passionate about providing the best care, engaging, loving, a mother, encouraging, fair, kind, considerate.. the list goes on.
My children have both loved their time with Lynsey. When my daughter left her care she was a confident, happy, well mannered child and a lot of this is down to Lynsey. She treats children in her care as she does her own and if you were to meet her three lovely children you would see that isn't a bad thing.
My son absolutely loves Lynsey and her assistant Amanda (who is lovely and a is benefiting from learning from Lynsey) and literally runs out the house to go to her setting. You can't ask for more than that.
It will be a very sad day when my son leaves but I can be happy knowing that my children have benefited from the best care around (in my opinion).

Lynsey is amazing with the children. She is super organised and really cares.
My daughter attended 15hrs a week till starting pre-school in Sept '15.
Lynsey helped with toilet training and even noted the need for a speech therapy referral and completed this with my consent.
My daughter adored attending with all her friends. She developed social skills and attended such things, as Jo-Jingles and a farm trip.
Lynsey is focused on development,fun and safety. Just how it should be.
If she can accommodate your hours and has space grab it, as it will be the best choice you ever make. So glad we did.

Lynsey T is currently looking after my youngest son. She provides a caring, nurturing and stimulating environment. She is well organised and professional, in the service she provides.
My son has developed a great relationship with Lynsey and her assistant, which puts myself at ease, knowing that he is thoroughly being looked after, with the highest standards possible.

My three year old daughter started with Lynsey just before Christmas 2014, she attends one morning per week and just loves when the day comes around. My daughter enjoys the variety of toys on offer each week and in particular any art/creative tasks-we have quite a collection of lovely pictures and crafts on display in our house :)
Lynsey is a very well organised person with regular emails and newsletters informing us of the Topic/ upcoming events and important dates. I particularly like the daily diary and Wow moments recording system for my child's progress and milestones.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lynsey to anyone

Lynsey has been looking after our 4 year old since September 2013 and our other child will also be going very soon , I would have no hesitation in recommending her services to any parent. The range of activities that the children partake in is tremendous, and the level of feedback that we get is simply outstanding.
When our little one was in a nursery pre-school we wasn't aware of what she was missing out on but since attending Lynsey's I will not send my youngest to anyone else. The food that is provided is excellent and I know my child is in safe hands. The major advantage you will get with Lynsey is that somehow the children feel like they are in a 1 to 1 environment, how she manages this is beyond me.

Our son came under Lynsey's care in March 2012, not long after he had been referred to Speech Therapy for a delay in his speech development. Lynsey worked tirelessly with him and with us to bring him up to the level he was suppoed to be and some 9 months later our boy was discharged with the Consultant noting progress ahead of his age. There is no doubt in our minds that we owe that to Lynsey's hard work.
Aside from that we have found Lynsey extremely reliable, which is gold dust to parents working full time in demanding jobs.
Lynsey is very well aware of the requirements of the EYFS framework and very good at planning activities for children of different ages, which she endeavours to combine with activities the children enjoy at home.
The written feedback we get every day does not just cover the meals, naps and nappies our son has had but also the activities he has enjoyed during that day and the EYFS areas covered, as well as activities to be planned that would further his development. The children enjoy a good balance between outings and time at home on a daily basis, which seems to help keep colds at bay.
We are also very please that Lynsey has managed to defeat our fussy eater and he is now prepared to try different foods. Lynsey is also very respectful of parental choices in every aspect of our child's upbringing and prepared to offer advice in a nonjudgmental manner.
