Loraine provides an excellent caring environment for our son, it really does feel like a home from home and that he is part of an extended family with lots of stimulation and contact not just with the younger children in her care but with Loraine's own children. He clearly enjoys his days there and barely gives me a backwards glance these days, just a brief blowing of a kiss and he is off playing. Loraine is also very supportive in providing advice and insight into the range of issues that arise with the upbringing of a toddler - sleep, behaviour management, social and learning issues etc, she is a valued support all round. Loraine is also very flexible and considerate in making day to day arrangements and thoroughly approachable. For us, Loraine and her family provide an excellent place for our son to be cared for, to grow and play. We would highly recommend her child minding services.
