Amazing Childminder & Setup!

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

The perfect childcare set up!

Pari and Lisa have been taking care of our son since he was 10 months old. That was almost 2 years ago and in those 2 years they have become as good as family. We have since also had a daughter who joined them and loves the setting just as much (if not more) than my son has always done.

When I was looking for childcare for my first born, I like many new mums, was so desperately nervous and worried about having to go back to work and ‘leave’ my baby. Being new to the area, I sought out all the best rated nurseries and visited them all. My heart sank at the idea of leaving him in one room where he would be put to nap on the floor/ in what amounted to a cupboard and stay in that room all day until I came home from work to pick him up.

I came across Pari and Lisa through a combination of world of mouth and this website and I knew as soon as I walked into their setting this was the right place for my child.

I trust them implicitly and know they have a genuine affection for my children. Not only that, their setting was clean, bright and full of stimulating activities. I love that the children are ina mixed age group - the younger ones learning from the older ones and the older ones taking care of and learning to be little leaders to the younger ones. They have structured Montessori play and are taught life skills in a home from home environment.

They get taken out on trips to local outdoor spaces Multiple times a week! And that’s not to mention that when I talk to any other parents of young children, they are always astounded at how convenient and competitively priced our arrangement is.

I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough and am so grateful to have found them when I did

Amazing childminder!

When returning to work 1.5 years ago we were lucky enough to find Lisa to take care of our little girl, she is amazing and by far the best! She strikes the perfect balance of offering a home from home environment all whilst providing our daughter with the early years learning she needs and provides a safe, secure, nurturing, stimulating and most of all fun environment, I feel that she genuinely cares for the children and really enjoys them. My daughter is always busy whether it's activities set up in the home, visits to the local park, willows farm, paradise wildlife park or playing in the large garden, she has so much fun and has made so many friends that she never wants to leave! The best bit is that you get updates and pics on the app throughout the week which always brightens my day when I'm at work wondering what she is getting up to. I know how nerve-wracking it is to leave your little one with someone new but I honestly cannot recommend and thank Lisa enough!

Excellent Childminder

Lisa is a fantastic childminder who is providing a very high level of care for my daughter. Lisa has looked after my daughter for just over 2 years. My daughter loves going to see Lisa and her friends! I love the fact the children go out everyday (depending on weather) to parks, ice-cream farm, Willows Farm, looking for creatures with magnifying glasses, visits to the woods etc all helping to progress our children’s social skills. She provides activities such as singing, stories, counting, reading creative activities in the children’s room as well as garden activities. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for childcare.

Fantastic Childminer

Was so pleased to find Lisa to look after my child.
It was a very hard time as a first time mum to leave my child to return to work but after meeting Lisa and her beautiful home I felt very much relaxed and at ease.
I was always kept up to date with daily activities and daily trips to willows farm, parks playgroups etc
I received a weekly menu so I knew in advance what he would be eating
She has a lovely spacious home with a huge garden
I would completely recommend Lisa to anyone, thank you so much for everything, you are amazing xx

Excellent childcare

Lisa and Pari are our registered childminders who work together. Like all new parents we were apprehensive about leaving our daughter with someone new when I returned to work. However we couldn’t be happier with Lisa and Pari. They are both genuinely warm, caring and our daughter is more than happy to leave us on a daily basis to stay in their care.

The environment is a lovely home setting with a large garden with a structured learning experience for the children, with different monthly themes. They use the ‘Baby’s Days’ app where on a daily basis I receive updates on what the plan is for the children during the course of the day. This can vary from going to a local farm, to arts and crafts, free play, exploring new textures and the list goes on. I am also made aware of how often my daughter has naps, her food menus etc. What is really fantastic is that my husband and I receive daily photographs of our daughter engaging in her daily activities and having lots of fun with her carers and the other kids. This has really made me feel at ease since I returned to work, as this confirms how content my daughter is in their care.

I’ve seen our daughter develop and grow hugely since I returned to work and I can’t recommend Lisa and Pari enough. We would truly be lost without them.

Fantastic childminders

Pari and Lisa have been taking care of our daughter for almost a year. They provide an excellent setting which has shown in how much our daughter has developed since she has been with them. They were excellent in helping her to settle in and follow the same routine we have at home. They also provide good nourishment with fantastic home cooked food . The system they use to update us is very helpful. They have also been so credible and helpful with drop of and pick up - we really couldn't ask for more.

Best in Barnet

Lisa and Pari have been great with our little girl. Too great as she rarely wants to come home now. They provide a safe and happy environment where she has thrived. Can’t thank them enough!

Lisa and Pari childminding

Lisa and Pari have looked after our little one from the age of 10 months. They have been incredibly inspiring role models for him, setting out positive values which are definitely noticeable in his development. Needless to say, he adores them and looks forward to the time he spends with them. Their frequent trips to Willows Farm and playgroups has given our son the confidence to explore the environment and nurture his curiosity. We are incredibly lucky to have found such perfect childminders and would strongly recommend them.

Lovely lovely childminder

Lisa and her assistant Pari (also a reg cm) have been looking after my twin girls (just turned 2) for the past year. They are with them 2 full days a week and I am sure the girls would love to go every day if I needed the cover!

Both Lisa and Pari and naturally caring people and my girls just love them! They are careful to follow my routine I have the girls into at home. Lisa always prepares lovely meals for them and they take them out to wonderful places.

Lisa is careful to ensure that her home and any setting they go to is safe and appropriate for them and I have every trust in Lisa.
