About Me

About myself
I'm Lorraine a Ofsted Registered Childminder with a GOOD Ofsted rating, recently graded last year 2024.
I have been running Raven's Nest since 2013, and I work with Early Years children from Newborn upwards.
I'm a parent myself to two young adults. I live in the village of Highfields Caldecote and have been here for over 20 years. We have a friendly dog and cat and also 2 rabbits.
Being a Childminder I am able to offer children a homely environment where they can feel happy, confident, and safe as they would in their own home.
I can provide Snacks and generally a hot meal at lunch times.
I offer a range of activities for children which, (for example include)
Gardening
Trips to the park & out locally
Cooking
Arts and Crafts
Reading
Singing
Dancing and many more...
I tailor our activities to the children's interests as I find this supports their learning and development of each child.
I keep my training upto date such as
Basic Food & Hygiene
Safeguarding Children
First Aid
I also attend lots of other Childcare training and certificates can be viewed.
I have run Raven's Nest for 11 years.

Snippets from a recent reference reads.
Lorraine is a great communicator and has no trouble gaining my childs confidence and therefore encouraging good behavior and kindness and compassion to others.
All in all i am throughly happy with the level of care my child recieves i am certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him to develop into a confident and self assured little boy. Lorraine has helped provide a great start in life.

Both of my sons went to Lorraine full time and only left her setting when they started preschool at 4 years old. They really enjoyed their time with Lorraine and made good friends with the other children she was looking after.
She plans the activities she does with the children very well to help with their development and often had a theme for the day, for example Teddy Bear’s picknick, Chinese New Year, Easter and many more. My sons came home with lots of arts and crafts they had made. Lorraine communicates very well and always kept us updated on what our children were doing during the day. They also enjoyed days out with Lorraine, for example to Nation Trust places.
We couldn't have asked for a better childminder than Lorraine to look after our children and highly recommend her.
