Little explorers's Reviews

Wonderful childminder.

Lisa has looked after my children (3 Boys - A-11y, Z-9y, S-6y) for 3 years. We found Lisa caring, friendly, well-organised, calm and always kind not only to my children but also to me. She works well with my children (my oldest one has special needs) and always makes sure that they have lots of fun with her. She is always there when I need her, I can count on her anytime (sometimes I give her notice less than 24 hours and she always helps). We highly recommend Lisa to anyone who would like to use Childminder in the Luton area.

Fantastic provider

Lisa has always given the time and attention to my 5 boys over the years at different stages and treated them like family. My children have formed friendships with her children even now we have moved to a different town.

Lisa is always bubbly and happy to see them and can feel the friendly vibe, and my children are happy and excited to see her and to be going to her house. She is always creative with them and able to deal with their different needs, they alap het to go out on adventures especially in the holidays, honestly my kids have the best time.

I would always choose Lisa again if needed. Lisa you are amazing and happy to of met you and thank you for always looking after my boys so well and you are now family to us xx

Excellent childminder

My Daughter started at Lisa’s in September 2018 (age 5) and left in July 2024 (age 11) only because Lisa wasn’t needed anymore as my Daughter was going up to high school. We had never left our Daughter with anyone except family so was a bit worried about leaving her with somebody new but after my first meeting with Lisa she reassured me that she would be well looked after and she did exactly that.
During our Daughter’s time with Lisa, she was always extremely happy and formed a wonderful relationship with Lisa, her own children and other children whom she cared for. My husband and I have similarly formed a close relationship with Lisa and we trust her implicitly to provide the care our Daughter needs; this is something we never felt nervous about since our Daughter joined Lisa. Our Daughter always looked forward to going to Lisa’s on 3 separate occasions during a typical weeks and the variety of things Lisa did with the children combined with wonderful food and a homely environment gave us everything we could ask for (and more).
Furthermore the loving and caring environment in which Lisa has brought up her own children and our Daughter is evident to see every time we visited and I cannot recommend her services highly enough. Lisa is conscientious, polite, caring, reliable and above a thoroughly lovely person and we would highly recommend her to anybody who requires the services of an *A* grade childminder and all-round wonderful person. We miss Lisa very much (especially our daughter) and we have stayed in contact and Lisa texts now again to see how are daughter is getting on.

Great caregiver to my 4 children over many years

Being a single parent of 4 I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care and dedication Lisa has provided to my 4 young children over many years. She has always looked after my four young children with love, patience and attention to their individual needs providing a happy environment for them. My kids are always happy with Lisa and never have had a bad things to say which is a testament to her character. Lisa has always been highly dependable with a kind personality and warm heart providing a nurturing environment where children can thrive. Over the years, she’s built meaningful relationships with my children, providing them with the support, guidance, and affection they need to grow into confident, well-rounded individuals. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine passion for working with children make her an outstanding caregiver. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will always be grateful for the positive impact she’s had on my kids lives. Highly recommended.

Mixed feelings

I found Lisa to be a very pleasant if somewhat scatty lady. For example I dropped the children off one day and she told me that if I dropped them at x time they would go on the school run with her and she had a double buggy arranged. I then asked what would happen to the 3rd baby that could not walk in her care and she has forgotten there was 3 of them.
She has 2 dogs and her garden was not really suitable for children to play in, as there was lots of dog mess in the garden. Also puddles in the house and on the kids seating cushions, but this could be because they had just got a new puppy.
The children did seem to really enjoy spending time with her, however my children have a dairy allergy which I explained in detail upon enrolling. Lisa assured me she would be able to accommodate this, unfortunately she was not able to and on 3 separate occasions (over a 6 week period) she fed my children things they were allergic to. When I raised this for the 3rd time and stressed this really could not happen she terminated our contract with immediate effect. This was difficult as I then had to take a week off work to source alternative arrangements.
In order to be fair and leave a fair review in the 6 weeks my children were they, they did enjoy seeing Lisa
