My son has been with Lesley since he was around 8 months old. He is now 3.5 and we are moving away, but we will never forget Lesley. She is so warm and friendly, and we instantly felt at ease. She loves her children and looks after them so well - it feels more like a family home. My son has learnt so much from being with her. Lesley takes the children to do lots of different activities and they always have lots of adventures. She keeps in touch with us through the day with lots of pictures and updates. On the rare occasion my son was a bit upset going in (only about 3 times ever) she gave him lots of extra cuddles and within minutes he was fine - and she sent pictures to prove it! Lesley was also able to be flexible once he started a bit of preschool. She is always happy to work with us for any changes or if we're running late. We will always be grateful to Lesley for giving our son the best start in life. I would give her six stars if I could!

Oh thank you so much, your son was a gorgeous little boy to look after and such a character in every way, he is a treasure and will not be forgotten, hope to see you all again soon, he is already being missed . Sending hugs snd kisses 🥰🥰🥰
As a parent finding the right person to entrust with the care of your child 5 days/ week is not an easy task. But we have been incredibly lucky to have found such a person in Lesley. Her caring, loving and affectionate nature has created a safe and nurturing environment for our daughter for the past 3 years. Her love for children is evident in every interaction. Everyone who has ever met Lesley knows how much she looks after the children and doesn't spend her time chating away with other childminders while children are neglected ( I've seen so much of this around West Wickham and it makes furious). Without her support and the piece of mind that my daughter is in safe hands I would have not been able to return to work full time and I would have not been where I am today.
A heartfelt thanks to Lesley for her unwavering dedication and affection. I highly recommend her services to any parent in need of reliable and loving childcare!

Thank you so much put a tear in my eye, Freya will be deeply missed from a very shy sensitive toddler to now a growing confident little girl🥰🥰. Look forward to having her when required school holidays, she is kind helpful and caring to the younger children and full of fun and laughter, adorable little girl I was so lucky to look after 🥰🥰🥰
I am so happy my 1 year old is with Lesley. I trust completely that she is providing a safe, warm, fun and loving environment, providing my little one with the positive experiences and care that will shape her for the rest of her life. Your child will get lots of hugs and care with Lesley and it makes my life easier knowing there's nothing I have to worry about.
More practically, Lesley is flexible, happy to accommodate dietary requirements, and has great communication - sharing updates and photos on the fun things they get up to.

Lesley looked after both my children for 6 years, she is incredibly caring and goes above and beyond to make sure all the children are happy. My children have always been happy to go to Lesley’s and we will miss her now they are moving on to secondary school.

From first day he like to be take care by her and he likes very much her friendly dog and atmosphere in home.
She always listen to my son and knows what he likes.
My daughter can wait to go to her and I hope she will go in September.
I am really happy with Lesley she is very nice person and children loves her.
