Outstanding!
Lauren has been the childminder of my 2 daughters.
My eldest arrived at England at the age of 2 not speaking the language and not used at all at the weather/culture... Lauren was an immense help on her settling process!!
She took the effort to learn some Spanish vocabulary to adapt to her better, she understood the complexities of her needs and was more than capable of fulfilling them. All this as well as keeping in mind her development.
I will always remember when we met Lauren when I was interviewing several childminders that during the interview she not only spoke and pay attention to me but foremost she was interacting with my daughter... " I need to interact with her ...I have to have an idea of she could settle with the other children... though I'm aware you are Mum and I need to listen to your needs, my client is your child, and her needs will always come first " I absolutely love that view!!
Lauren offers to children environments with such great stimulation! She keeps in mind areas for development and makes the effort to look and create opportunities to develop them. I love that she has so many outdoor activities.
Lauren has been very open minded, with high acceptance of cultural differences, and always managed to find common grounds despite our sometimes so different views.
I love her passion for her job.
Lastly, still my eldest has so many fond memories of her... Still asks me to go and visit (she's 9!)
Having your children with her is a decision you won't regret.
