My Summary
About Me
I live with my husband and two sons on The Grange in Desborough.I registered to be a childminder in 2011 whilst living in Market Harborough, I had been working in a local nursery and although I really enjoyed my job I found it hard to justify working full time away from my boys and spending a vast majority of my salary on childcare, this way I get the best of both worlds. We have lots of resources and have a secure back garden to play in. We attend local play groups and make good use of our lovely library in Desborough.
I am registered to provide the government funded hours for relevant 2, 3 and 4 Yr old and accept payment through childcare vouchers.

Lucy looked after my son from 6 months to 3.5 years, due to early return to work it was great knowing my child was in a lovely home environment. Plenty of activities and fun was had every day and he loved every minute of being there. From the first moment of meeting Lucy and family we felt we were leaving him in a safe caring environment with a lovely catch up at the end of the day to find out what adventures they had been up to! She was extremely helpful at milestone like potty training and recorded anything we missed out on. High recommend to all.

I moved to Desborough 5 years ago and was recommended Lucy by a school Mum.
Finding Lucy was a god send, with the move for my girls being such a big change in their lives and moving away from family and friends, they soon felt comfortable and at home with Lucy, in her family home.
This helped me immensely, knowing that my girls were very happy being collected from school and spending time with Lucy, whilst I was out working.
As a working Mum life is very hectic, but having Lucy and content children certainly makes life a lot calmer.

When I returned to work 4 years after having my daughter I couldn’t have wished for a nicer person to look after her. I met Lucy whilst our children were at pre school together and got to know her beforehand. I was felt really uneasy about returning to work but immediately felt comfortable and reassured with Lucy, she is a very calm, confident and lovely lady. She goes above and beyond in finding ways to stimulate a child’s imagination whilst helping to develop their social skills and general behaviour. My daughter loves her and we have always been more than happy with the service Lucy has provided.

Lucy has been looking after our boys for over 4 years now. She has nurtured them through pre school and onto school and we would not be able to find anybody better if we tried. She provides a safe, warm and friendly environment for all the children as well as always having lots of fun, from activities at home to adventures at the park as well as playgroups etc with other children. Can not recommend Lucy enough and we're very fortunate to have her looking after our children.

Lucy has been looking after my little girl since she was 3 months old. As i worked for myself i needed to get back to work early, this was a stressful and difficult time for me however knowing my little girl was happy, content and well looked after put me at ease. My daughter shreeks with happiness everytime i drop her off. Lucy is always getting the children out and about and my daughter is constantly learning new things. I couldnt recomend her highly enough, she is one in a million!
