Our two daughters have been looked after by Lisa since our youngest was just a baby of 9 months. They are now 7 and 8 years old! Initially they were full time with her and she now picks them up from school, 3 days a week.

It's clear that Lisa has a really strong bond with the girls and provides a safe, secure and fun environment for them. Her house is basically like a second home. They've always got on really well with Lisa's own children and love all the various pets (who seem to tolerate all the kids!). The multiple trampolines and other play equipment in the garden are a favourite feature too.

Lisa clearly loves children, is always calm and very easygoing. She's also flexible, including changing her school pick up to accommodate us when our eldest got into a different school than expected. I would definitely recommend her as a childminder.
