My Summary
About Me
I am French, but have lived in England since 1990. I am married, with 3 adult children (my youngest (19) still living at home), and 2 rather spoilt felines.. In my care, your children will benefit from a bilingual and bi-cultural environment, with the addition of freshly prepared French meals.
I provide a comfortable home setting with a larger than average garden complete with swings, slides, trampoline, mud kitchen, and will engage the children in varied activities adapted to their abilities and stages of development. Mornings are usually dedicated to outdoor pursuits (country parks, farms, National trust properties) and regular visits to the library for Storytime (with the odd trip to toddler groups or playbarns if the weather really doesn't play ball); Afternoons are spent napping, playing, experimenting, discovering and generally generating a lot of mess in the setting. . .
Are you looking for childcare with a bit of “La difference"? You have just found "L'Ile Aux Enfants"...
My Experience
I registered in October 2006 and have always been awarded a “Good" grade on all five aspects of my childminding practice during all my Ofsted inspections.
My Qualifications
I hold a Level 3 Children and Young People's Workforce Diploma, a Paediatric First Aid Certificate, a Foundation Certificate in Food Hygiene, and keep up to date with Cheshire East's Safeguarding and Welfare requirements.
I believe that, when it comes to child development, you never stop learning, and am always on the look out for ways to develop my practice and to meet, to the best of my ability, the needs and personalities of the children in my care. I attend webinars and/or face to face training on a monthly basis, getting expert insights on any subject that catches my eye... I however naturally gravitate towards sessions supporting my own educational belief which is firmly rooted in outdoor learning. A self confessed learning magpie, I also happily select nuggets of wisdom from other established early years pedagogies if they match my Minions' varied learning styles, thus providing a truly personalised childhood experience.
My Availability
My services are available Wednesday to Friday, 8 to 5, DURING TERM TIME ONLY, (making me an ideal choice for teachers and people working in the educational sector).

Our daughters have been with Laurence (aka Lala) for almost 3 years and we have been delighted with the care that they've received. Laurence herself is vibrant and charismatic, Buzzing with enthusiastic, fun energy that she injects into all of the great activities that the kids get up to. Invariably the kids are out each day going to great places for walks, forest school activities, site seeing, gymnastics and much more. Lala really makes the special effort taking the kids far afield for safari and to see the reindeer at Christmas. The children both love spending time at Lalas and are so comfortable in her home setting which is equipped with all the toys and learning materials any 0 - 5 year old could desire. Truly a gem and a special find. Get in line for a space. It's worth it!

My child has been with Lala since she was 7 months old, after a slightly rocky start at nursery. After many tears at nursery drop off we decided we wanted a more home from home environment and opted to look into childminders. We really couldn't have found a better childminder to take good care of our baby girl. She is so settled and happy here and actually cries when its time to come home! The experiences she has are wonderful (sea life centre, farms, nature walks and many more). She has come on so much and we are constantly amazed at her development. As an early years teacher myself, I am constantly inspired with the well thought out activities in place in the home. Our child is so happy here and we couldn't ask for anything more.
