We decided to send our little girl to a childminder when she was 12 months old and we are so lucky that we found Laura. She has been amazing! She was extremely helpful and accommodating with the settling period, which can obviously be very unnerving for both parent and child and before the settling in period had finished we could see that our little girl had completely taken to Laura. As well as enjoying being around Laura’s own children and the other children she has in her care. She has been extremely flexible in accommodating our requirements which have had to change over the time.
Laura has provided a very stable environment with an abundance of variety for each day. She has a range of activities, games, toys and learning resources that she changes on a daily basis to suit the children, their needs and their age. The play room is beautifully equipped for the children to access a range of things, including books, cuddly toys and construction and the children have plenty of space, both indoors and out, for them to play and learn safely. She attends a variety of toddler or playgroups and ensures that the children play with the equipment and each other carefully, encouraging tolerance, patience and kindness towards one another.
Laura has often provided invaluable suggestions regarding food, sleeping and even behaviour and as first time parents it has felt like we have had a friend to talk to about these confusing and difficult times. We are so grateful for finding Laura and are quite sad that we have to leave her.
Hope to use her services in the future!
