My son started with Lorraine when he was 9 months old, he settled in immediately and has loved every minute there since. He is now 2 1/2 and back with Lorraine after her maternity leave and has settled straight back in. He is treated like part of the family and has struck up a real friendship with Lorraine's eldest daughter.

The house is warm and welcoming and Lorraine organises lots of fun and educational activities for him, encouraging him to try things if he seems unsure. I know that he is well looked after and having lots of fun when he is there.

I can see that Lorraine gets real joy from spending time with the children and is very committed to her work.
