Our daughter started with Lisa at around 14 months old. During that time, she has grown into a confident, articulate, well-mannered, happy and knowledgeable 3 year old who is in touch with and understands her emotions and who interacts with other children and adults really well - it is not lost on us as parents how much credit goes to Lisa for this.
The setting is very spacious, including an outdoor garden and playhouse. Each day, the children have lots of fun but also get a great education, with a well-structured and well-thought-out plan of what activities and play will take place.
The food that is offered for Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks is of high quality, varied and nutritious with our daughter looking forward to the food each day.
Lisa is kind, intelligent, caring, loving, perceptive and fun and has always been a pleasure to deal with.
Our daughter also loves Paul who is also kind, caring, friendly and highly involved in many of the fun activities - a positive male role model who we trust to take care of our daughter when we are not there.
We could not recommend the childminding care highly enough and could not be more grateful to Lisa and Paul!

Our son started with Lisa and Paul the day after his first birthday, and he’s now 2. We interviewed two other Childminders but were looking for someone who had a bit of a Montessori ethos -Lisa and Paul have a dedicated space in the garden for growing fruit and veg, and have kept caterpillars to turn into butterflies - and a gentle parenting style - seeing past the behaviour to the underlying emotion, being responsive and talking the emotion through. They’re both kind, patient, and empathetic. My husband and I love our joint WhatsApp group with Lisa who writes a report each day (food, sleep, activities) accompanied by multiple photos. Our son is thriving, and we’re delighted to have found them.

My daughter initially started at nursery but would not settle. We then found Lisa, she is patient, kind and sincere and my daughter settled instantly with her which was a huge relief. She really benefited from the smaller more homely setting where she could have more 1 to 1. She really loved her time with Lisa and Paul, she relaxed and grew in confidence. She also formed some great first friendships. I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa & Paul. You can feel confident that when you go to work your child will be safe, happy and having the best time.

My son has been with Lisa since 2020 and he absolutely loves it with her. He really adores Lisa and Paul they provide a loving, caring, safe and educational environment for the children. I feel really assured going to work leaving him with them as I know he will be really well looked after. I enjoy getting the updates at the end of the day which include photos, seeing what he has been up to. My son has made great progress since being with Lisa and Paul I couldn’t be happier. I would not hesitate recommending Lisa to anyone looking for a childminder.

Our little boy has been with Lisa since January 2021. All I can say is that I cannot imagine better place for him. He truly enjoys going to Lisa and Paul every morning. They go for walks, read books, sing and play. Lisa and Paul have an immaculate garden and perfect cabin where children can safely play. Lisa provides healthy meals and Erik is actually eating much better at Lisa's than at home. When we needed an extra day for Erik, Lisa and Paul did everything to help us. Every day I receive a report summarizing how he was and pictures. Erik has a perfect routine thanks to Lisa and Paul and mentions them even during the weekends. I cannot recommend Lisa and Paul enough.

Lisa has been looking after our 18 month old twins since August 2020 and we consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have found Lisa and her wonderful family to care for them. The twins adore Lisa and Paul and get super excited every morning when I say it's time to play at Lisa's. They provide a warm, loving, fun, safe and educational environment for the kids and their dedicated play cabin is just superb. Lisa works with the kid's needs and requirements to encourage their development and as parents, we are kept up to date with a termly report of their progress. Lisa also provides a detailed daily report and lots of pictures of what they've been up to that day. Having the confidence and certainty that your little ones are so well cared for and having the best time is everything and this is exactly what we have with Lisa. The twins have blossomed in Lisa's care and we couldn't recommend her highly enough.

I’m so grateful that we found Lisa. Our son started with Lisa in January 2020 when he was 9 months old and has been with her ever since (other than during lockdown!) and he absolutely loves it there. Lisa is great with helping him develop key skills and hit key developmental milestones whilst he is obviously having the time of his life! Lisa’s dedicated play and learning space is second to none and extremely well equipped - he is spoilt for choice every day. As a busy working parent I really appreciated how organised and well set up Lisa’s setting is - and really appreciate the daily and “termly” updates I receive. Lisa was the main reason we stayed in the area when we recently moved house. Both my son and I couldn’t be happier!

I sent my 20 month old daughter to Lisa from Sept 2019-March 2020 and Was one of the best things I did. She loved going to Lisa’s house and I always felt so reassured going to work knowing she was in good hands. Lisa’s house is beautiful and pristine and she makes wonderful nutritious meals for the children in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a childminder solution
