My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childcare provider has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childcare provider.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
16 May 2024
A recent inspection found this childcare provision to be good across all areas. Children are nurtured in a safe and happy environment, with a planned curriculum supporting individual needs. Strong partnerships with parents are maintained through daily communication and online updates. The childminder promotes independence, though this could be more consistent. Overall, children are engaged and develop a love for learning, particularly through enthusiastic story reading and outdoor play.

Excellent!

5 stars

Lora had my little girl over the half term. She was amazing, my daughter enjoyed spending the day at Lora's house and would ask me if she is going again the next day. Her children are amazing, so friendly and lovely.
I am just so thankful I ran across Lora's profile and she had availability during that time. I will definitely seek her help over many half terms to come 🌸

Lora’s Amazing!

5 stars

My son started with Lora in July of 2019 after just turning 3 and he’s loved every moment of it! Lora is truly a wonderful childminder and was a perfect fit for us due to needing term time only. My son was potty trained with Lora’s support (after only a few weeks of being there!) and he is completely dry during the day and night (amazing!!). He has been supported in learning to read and write, as well as always bringing home lovely crafts that Lora has made with the children throughout the day. We regularly received pictures of what he had been up to and Lora’s son and mine became good friends whilst in her care. It’s very sad for us that he has missed out on being with her these last couple of months due to lockdown and will be starting school (hopefully!) in September. But I can safely say the support she has provided has made us feel very confident about his transition to school. Don’t hesitate to contact Lora if you are looking for term time care.

Thank you for the kind words! His smile, his singing and his question "Why", our huggy time, our dinner time and little talks, our dances...I will miss them all. I am sure he will be great at school and will have many friends to play with.
