Hi, I'm Lisa.
Hello, I'm Lisa, an Ofsted-registered childminder with an Outstanding rating. Alongside my partner Duncan, who is also a registered childminder, we offer a warm and supportive environment for your children in Tankerton, Whitstable. Our home, which we share with two friendly dogs (who have their own separate pen), is a safe and welcoming space where your child's well-being is our top priority. I have been childminding since 2004, and I am proud to have received Outstanding grades in my last three Ofsted inspections. We offer funded places for children aged 9 months to 3 years of age. Our childcare services are available Monday to Wednesday, from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm. We are also registered to provide overnight care for up to two children and offer full-time placements throughout the year. To ensure we meet your needs, we have a registered assistant who works on an ad-hoc basis and is available for babysitting. Our goal is to provide the highest standard of care in a welcoming, home-based setting where every child is valued as an individual, regardless of race, age, gender, ability, family structure, language, or social, cultural, and religious backgrounds. Our property is a spacious bungalow, with the entire ground floor, including a fantastic conservatory playroom, dedicated to childminding. Our fully enclosed garden is equipped for safe and enjoyable outdoor play, and we provide sun hats, waterproof all-in-ones, and wellington boots so your child can explore in all weather conditions. If you are searching for a childminder, ad-hoc cover, or weekend care, we invite you to reach out via the "Contact Me" page on our website or direct here through Childcare.co.uk. We would be delighted to welcome your child into our caring and engaging environment.
