My son was with Lea Lea for just a few months before she relocated (we are still so gutted she’s moved) and I couldn’t have been happier to send him there. I felt so comfortable every day with my little one there, with pictures and messages throughout the whole day. I loved that Lea Lea would take all the kids out to lots of fun places, which you don’t often get with nurseries. My son would always be happy to see Lea Lea in the mornings when I dropped him off which made me happy and at ease while working. We will miss you but wishing you all the luck in your new home.

My son who is 2 years old and has been going to lea for 2 weeks now and goes to her 3 days a week loves it there, I get daily updates from her from photos or messages to let me no how and what his doing though out the day, every photo of him he is always smiling and doing some sort of activity, what lea has been able to do with my son in 2 weeks ie all the activities and day trips out , I as a busy single working mum have not been able to do in 2 years, I am very grateful to lea for all she has done, shes very patient, understanding, helpful and fantastic with my son and myself, I couldn't ask for a better person to look after my son . Thank you lea.

Wow amazeing feedback thank you so much xx
We have been sending our 8-month-old son to Leane for the last 5 months and have been highly satisfied with the child care provided by her. Leanne has a great fondness for kids and can soon win their hearts. She ensures what is best for our baby, taking him out for a walk in the parks, taking him to the library and the pet store. Also, indulge him in activities that will keep him busy all day and keeping an update by sending pictures.
I would highly recommend Leanne to anyone seeking similar services and can guarantee that you will not be disappointed while availing her services.

Thank you so much for such a lovely review feel so appreciated thank you x
Leanne is absolutely wonderful with my little girl (20 months), Millie always comes back home happy and chatting about her day with 'LeaLea'. I'm so glad we found each other on childcare.co.uk and I couldn't imagine having anyone else look after Millie. Leanne makes a point of sending lots of photos throughout the day too, which really helps us with knowing she's ok but also what she's gotten up to and learning about. An absolute superstar who goes above and beyond for all the children, who she clearly loves to bits.
