My beloved son was 8 month when we started going to Laura & Dezider every day from Monday till Friday.
I was very scared and worried about him ( I think mum are like that ), but fortunately he settled really quickly- he got plenty of cuddles and kisses.
Laura its really caring, warm and friendly person, my son really enjoy his time with her and other children.
My little one never cry when I left him in Laura's and Dezider home.
I would recommend Laura
Thank you very much Laura & Dezi.

Thank you xxx
Me and my son have visited 5 different Childminders when we were searching where he will go. But when we came to Laura’s and Dazider’s house my son started exploring it after 6 minutes. It was warm and welcoming, with a lot of toys, my little one felt like at HOME. That meant a world to me, he felt secure there after being so short time. Now he is going to Laura for more than a year and couple of months and I feel happy knowing that my son is in best, loving and secure hands when I go to work.
Laura and Dezider are very welcoming, caring, adjusting to every child needs. They are very helpful, understanding and offer support to me as a single parent. They a have a clear schedule for day activities and every parent is given a menu what they offer.
After some time, we became family friends and they and their son see my little man as nephew and cousin. In my opinion they deserve a medal for doing so much!
If any new parents are coming up to the time when they have to leave their child in nursery or with a childminder, you will ‘just know’ if it’s the right one. And as much as your heart is aching that you have had to hand them over, there’s no doubt that they will be having a whale of a time. It makes Hometime, all the more special.
Thank you so much Laura and Dezider!
