My daughter started with Lisa & Pari when she was 9 months old and like any parent you have such mixed feelings about leaving them to return back to work, but most importantly you just want to find the most perfect environment where your child can be happy, feel safe, and have fun. From the moment we visited Lisa's home, I just knew it was the right environment for our daughter. Lisa's set up is amazing, she has a beautiful home with large open space, a separate playroom area plus an amazing large garden, which also has an outside shelter for rainy days.

It was so reassuring to know while we were at work, our daughter was having fun with all her little friends, she was busy doing lots of activities during the day, and having the freedom to choose if she wanted to play inside or outside. We also loved that Lisa and Pari wasn't home bound everyday and they always planned weekly trips to farms, the zoo or local parks/woods where she could enjoy nature and explore. We would receive updates throughout the day with messages or photo's so we could see what she was up to throughout the day and also provided with a weekly food menu which was really helpful when planning our own family weekly meals. Our daughter would always be so happy when we dropped her off and picked up, which was always so comforting to see, she loves Lisa and Pari as if they were family.

My daughter is now 3 1/2 years old and has now joined full-time nursery at Whitings Hill School. Its very exciting for her to start her school journey but we were also sad that she wouldn't be spending every day with Lisa and Pari. However, we are still lucky enough that Lisa can collect her from school which has helped massively when settling her in because she knew she was being collected by someone she is very close too (if it wasn't mummy or daddy) and she always looks forward to spending time at Lisa's with the other children.

I would highly recommend Lisa and Pari to anyone looking for a childminder, they are trustworthy, kind, caring and love for the children like their own. We are extremely grateful for everything they have done for us over the years and have made our work lives so much easier. Thank you x
