Lorraine's Reviews

Excellent child minder

My daughter Rosanna has been going to Lorraine since she was 10 months old. She absolutely loves it! Lorraine takes her to different playgroups/museums and ensures every day is filled with fun and educational activities. She keeps us up to date throughout the day by sending photos and videos which really cheers us up at work ;-)
Rosanna is always noticeably excited on the way to Lorraine’s, where she is met by a warm and friendly family environment, a home from home.
I couldn’t recommend her services enough!

Thanks for a lovely review, Rosanna is a pleasure to mind and brings a lot of fun to my setting with her bright personality xx

Highly recommend

Would highly recommend Lorraine, both her and her family are lovely and very welcoming.
My daughter Sophia has been going to Lorraine since I returned to work when she was 9 months. Sophia has come on leaps and bounds and has developed loads since going.
Lorraine takes her to story times and the library, play groups, the park and sends me a diary at the end of the day so I can see how Sophia had been for the day i.e. Nap times, what she has eaten, where she's been ect I also get the odd picture or video sent to me which always cheers me up when i am at work.
Lorraine was excellent when Sophia was settling in and kept me updated throughout the day as I was very nervous leaving her.
Sophia has made so many new friends and really enjoys her day.
I have no worries leaving her and know she's in safe hands.

Home from home

My little girl has been with Lorraine for 1 year now. Initially, I was anxious about leaving her but Lorraine quickly helped her settle and I could see that she was happy and that I had made the right decision.
Lorraine always keeps us informed about what they have been doing in the day and I love receiving pictures of my little one having fun at playgroups, the library or playing outdoors when the weather allows.
My reason for choosing a childminder over a nursery was because I wanted a home environment; Lorraine’s home is bright, clean and always welcoming. It’s so nice to leave her in a family atmosphere knowing that her days will be filled with fun.

5* childminder

My daughter has been going to Lorraine's since she was 8 months old. It was such a huge thing for me to find someone who I was happy to leave her with and something I was dreading. Lorraine provided lots of time for us all to get to know her and her daughters and the environment so when I returned to work I was 100% sure Sadie would be happy there. Lorraine has been amazing with my daughters food allergy, always keeping her safe from harm. My daughter loves going to Lorraine's house and talks about her all the time at the weekends!
I couldn't have hoped for a better childminder, she is really approachable and you can see that all the children in her care are developing brilliantly and feel confident and happy in her home.

Thank you for your lovely review. Been a pleasure looking after Sadie, will miss her so much xxx

Absolutely fantastic

I was absolutely dreading going back to work and leaving my baby son behind but Lorraine made the transition so much easier. He completely loves her and all the other children there. They go on day trips to playgroups, storytimes at the library, parks, museums etc. Lorraine fills out a little diary so I know what he's done during the day and she helps when you're trying to make a change like dropping a feed or a nap or getting him to STOP BITING! My son is thriving and learning so much and he gets really excited when I drop him off now because he has so much fun and loves all of his little friends. I can't recommend her enough. A million stars.
