When I first began the daunting prospect of looking for a childminder there were so many to choose from that I didn't know where to start. But my main requirements was that Jack would be in a home from home environment but with opportunities to mix with other children. We managed to whittle it down to 10. Lisa was the last person I saw, but I knew straight away that this is the person I wanted Jack to be with and this is the environment I wanted him to be in. Lisa offered us lots of settling in time so Jack would feel at home.

Jack has now been with Lisa for nearly 5 months now and i couldn't be happier, even to the extent that we are planning to move house and that one of our main priorities is that we will still be able to take Jack to Lisa! Lisa is an amazing childminder and Jack feels very much part of their family.

Lisa has provided everything I could ask for in a childminder flexibility, learning opportunities days out and a loving family environment.

The only thing I wish for is that Lisa doesn't move!
