Lauren

Five Star Childminding

Having trialled a busy nursery setting and quickly realising it was the wrong decision, we were recommended Lauren as a child minder for our little boy.
I am so thankful to have found Lauren and have her to care for our son over the last two years. She has become a wonderful part of his life and a friend to me too.
Not only does Lauren provide the perfect home from home setting, with plenty of thoughtful activities and games each day, but she organises the best days our for the children and we love to see what adventures they've been on with the regular photo updates and handovers at pick up.
She is thoughtful in her care, and mindful of individual circumstances and works flexibly to ensure each child gets what they need.
The best thing of all is to see the beautiful relationship our little boy has with Lauren, he truly adores her and runs in happily each morning, which is more than we could ever have hoped for. Thank you for everything LoLo!

The best decision I made for my son!

I found going back to work after maternity leave heartbreaking, but Lauren understood that, and made it SO much easier.

My son has been going to Lauren since he was 10 months old, now being over two, Lauren has become a firm friend and an extended family member.

Lauren is incredibly caring. Her setting is welcoming, safe, fun and comfortable- the perfect home from home setting which young children want.

My son has taken away SO many skills and understandings from his time at Lauren’s, Lauren puts a lot of effort into planning her days for the children to take part in activities which will excel their motor skills and this is so evident in his development.

There is always a reassuring steady flow of photo updates throughout the day, which is so appreciated. Showing us what our children have been up to, whether it be of crafts, dancing, water play or play dough, or outdoor activities such as farms and parks.

I couldn’t recommend Lauren enough. My son thoroughly enjoys her company and runs to her every morning with open arms.

Her kindness, flexibility and reassurance has been a god send for me, as a first time mum. Choosing her was the best decision I made for me and especially for my son!

Amazing childminder, 100% recommended!!

My little Emma was with Lauren since she was 8 months old, that makes it 2 years and 3 months. As I am a very anxcious mom we looked for someone special who we could trust and we were so glad to find Lauren.
From the beginning, Emma loved going there and as she got older and was able to communicate, she would always say how much fun she had, how many different activities they did that day and often asked to go there over the weekends.
When I had some doubts or questions (as Emma was my first child I had loads of them) or needed an advice, Lauren was the right person to ask.
We were also very happy with the way Emma progeressed under Lauren’s care. At the age of 2 she already knew the alphabet and she could count. Her individual approach trully supported my daughter’s potential.
Emma misses Lauren and her family a lot. We highly recommend her!!!
