Lauren has looked after my son from 9 months old, and will continue to do so until he goes to primary school in 2023. My son enjoys his time with Lauren and has formed some lovely friendships with the children she looks after. As he has with Lauren too. I've always felt happy and confident to leave him with Lauren and know that he will be well looked after.

I really like that Lauren has a purpose-built/converted space within her home where the children spend the majority of their time. Whilst they also get some time in her garden to play and explore, and watch movies in the living room. Lauren also takes the children to local playgroups, parks and soft plays which my son has enjoyed over the years.

A bonus is that Lauren is very close to a school (Cranbourne primary). My son attends the nursery (in the mornings) at the school and Lauren is on hand for drop offs and picks up and takes care of him til early evening. Which, is super helpful for full-time working parents and means that my son has been able to experience "school" life before starting reception in 2023.

Lauren provides everything that you would hope for: Structure, age appropriate learning, opportunities to experience new things, fun, new friendships, a safe environment, hugs, the children are fed and looked after well.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lauren and i'll be sad when my son no longer has to go to hers.
