Lisa

Outstanding childminder, cannot recommend Lisa eno

Our daughter Lola was with Lisa for 6 months from 14 months old, and we were blown away by how much she developed and learned in that time. Her apartment is perfectly set up for the kids to have free play, loads of different learning activities and also some personal touches like having all of our family photos on boards. The food she cooks is healthier than anything we could imagine which helped diversify Lola’s diet and took the pressure off us a bit! She really supported us as first time parents including helping us in choosing the right time to teach Lola self soothing when going down for sleep which was a complete game changer! We couldn’t have done it without her. They were out and about exploring London every day (even going on the overground to visit museums!), meeting up with fellow childminders and attending children’s centres which really helped build Lola’s confidence.

We moved out of London, but otherwise Lola would have likely been under Lisa’s care all the way to preschool, we are eternally grateful that we chose her to be Lola’s first childminder.

Highly recommend

Lisa has taken care of our daughter for 12 months and throughout we have been extremely happy with the care that she has provided. We visited many childminders in our search for childcare and she was stand out for us. Her knowledge and experience was evident from the outset and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our daughter in her capable care.

Communication throughout has been excellent, with regular WhatsApp updates and taking the time to chat at drop offs and pickups. Lisa has been accommodating to any requests we had and to our daughters needs and schedules.

Her apartment had been expertly adapted to create a setting that is better than some purpose built nurseries! A visit is a must. There is plenty of space for play and activities, both of which are varied and have educational aspects from the EYFS creatively weaved into them. With lots of equipment and toys that aid both physical, mental and emotional development.

With multiple parks and playgrounds on the doorstep or near by, she is able to take the children out daily and regularly attends local classes and playgroups as well as meeting with a network of other childminders.

Lisa creates a safe and friendly environment that fosters independence, manners, sharing and caring for others. She impressively takes every opportunity to encourage the children's development.

Our daughter has enjoyed every moment as evidenced by the fact she feels safe and excited to visit each week. We've been amazed by the development we have witnessed over the past year and it is a testament to the care, activities and teaching provided. Thank you Lisa!

Exceptional Childcare

Our son was with Lisa for a total of 13 months....and would have stayed longer except we moved house and were then too far away.
Through Lisa’s carefully planned activities, our son developed his understanding of the world, developed his confidence to explore, grew his gross and fine motor skills, learned to self-feed, and self soothe to sleep.
Under Lisa’s care, he learned the foundational life skills, alongside developing his cognitive and expressive skills, facilitated by activities involving counting and number, literacy, physical skills, water and sand area, expressive arts, cooking and outdoor trips.
He would come home singing new songs, showing a new confidence climbing, dancing and socialising with others. He started trying new foods and being more independent.
We were very impressed with the nutritious meals served....he would usually eat much better with Lisa than he did with us!...and all the values that encompassed the setting: diversity, respect for others, love of animals, music and art.
We are sure that these values have contributed for a more holistic education than he would have received in other settings, and we are very pleased they formed the foundation for our son’s future. We both work in primary school leadership and are experienced with what great child care provision looks like. We are very grateful for the quality of education in Lisa’s provision. Our son still talks about her, in-fact we will be going back to visit next week!

Thanks Jaqi,
It was an absolute pleasure to care for your son and be a part of his great journey in developing into such a wonderful, energetic, loving and caring child.
He also taught me a lot that I am so grateful for too!
