Lara is by far the most caring, kind and trustworthy childminder you could ever wish to have. She has looked after my son since he was 8 months and my daughter from a similar age. They are now 2.5 years and 1 years old and their high level of social development, ability to play games with other children, engage in songs etc is all down to Lara. When they are dropped off, the children are so comfortable and happy that they wave and go straight to the play areas and play with their friends.


Lara goes above and beyond the role of a childminder. She takes the time to get to know all the children she looks after so that she gets the best out of them. During the week they do lots of different activities that includes singing, dancing, soft play, walks in the woods, arts and crafts (to name but a few). Lara adapts her activities to each children so that they can all take part, whether they are babies, toddlers or little boys/girls.

Lara is far more than a childminder, to me she is part of our wider family. She treats my children like her own, gives them the time they deserve and supports me in areas that I am keen to develop e.g . penmanship skills. Most unexpectedly, I have discovered that Lara gives the most thoughtful birthday and Christmas presents to my children (so much so I have to ask her for tips on what to get the children!). She does this, not because she has to, but because she know my children so well and wants to give them a little something for their special day.

With regards to the cost of childcare, Lara is exceptional value. Unlike nurseries and some other childminders, Lara only charges for the hours agreed in advanced. This means that if your child is with her from 8-3 those are the hours you'll get charged for, not for a full day like others.

If you're looking for a childminder, look no further. Lara really is exceptional and I feel genuinely lucky to have her in our lives.

I absolutely recommend Lara for looking after your little one.
