Liz has been looking after our son since he was 6 months old. She has always been extremely reliable, trustworthy, professional and caring. Not once did we worry about our child’s level of care or quality of childminding. Liz provides a clear and safe environment that facilitates children’s development whilst engaging in a variety of outdoor activities that our son loves. We will continue working with Liz during term breaks from now on and we would highly recommend her to other families too!

Liz has been looking after our son Seth for 10 months now since he was only 4.5 months old. Going back to work when our son was so small was a daunting prospect but knowing he has been in the care of Liz everyday has made it so much easier. He is so happy to see her and always comes home so happy from his days spent with her.
Liz keeps us up to date with his day through the use of a daily diary which is both useful and a lovely way of knowing what he has been up to when we have not been with him. He regularly attends playgroups with her as well as doing lots of activities at her lovely home.
Sadly we are leaving London so am unable to keep Liz as our childminder but could not recommend her more highly - if only we could take her with us.

My son has been with Liz for a year now since he was 15months old, he is happy and contented there and gets on well with Liz's children and the other children she looks after.
Liz has a wide range of toys and a fantastic garden for the children to play in. They also go to toddlers groups which my son enjoys immensely and is getting him used to a school type environment.
I can go to work safe in the knowledge that my boy is being well looked after!
Definitely recommended!!!

Overall
My daughter has been with Liz since she was 9 months old (she is now 4 and a half) and I feel very lucky that she has been able to grow up in these crucial years in such a safe, happy and stimulating environment.
Liz has always provided a warm welcome in her home and her three children are a true example of just how successful she is in her skills caring for children. She has a wide range of toys and educational materials in her home, including a beautiful and very well equipped garden which they make good use of. The children are also frequently taken to different local community groups, centres and activities.
As a working mum it has been a godsend to have Liz's ongoing support with my daughter. She is very good at working closely with the parents and supporting you as needed, including helping with settlng in to pre-school or other changes in their life.
My daughter obviously loves going there and spending time with Liz, her family, and the other children who are all very happy and content in this environment. I could not recommend Liz more as a fantastic, caring, committed and resourceful childminder.
