Average Rating: 5 stars (5 from 10 reviews)

From the moment we first met Loraine we were welcomed with such warmth and we knew within minutes Loraine would play a huge part in our family!
Loraine has looked after our two children over the last 7 years, our daughter was with Loraine from the age of 4 months and our son from 9 months. She has always been flexible and on hand to help where needed.
If you are looking for a childminder who treats your child with constant love and as if they were her own Loraine is the person for you!
The children are taken out most days and Loraine’s sends lots of lovely pictures to document their fun days! Both our children have left Loraine’s full of confidence and are ready for the next stage of life! Our children honestly have loved their time and we are so so sad that time is up! We will stay in touch with Loraine as she is now not just our childminder but a friend for life 💚
We would 100% recommend Loraine to anyone looking for a childminder!

Loraine has been looking after my daughter since she was 6months old for 3 days a week of 30hours in total. Loraine has helped my daughter to grow, develop and seen her achieve every milestone!

Loraine provides a loving and caring home along with all her family. She makes sure all the children are well cared for and have lots of fun while learning along the way! Loraine takes the children out and about so they get to experience every aspect of life from an early age. Loraine’s approach to childcare has supported my daughter in becoming a very independent little lady who is already for the next stage of her story. Loraine has also supported me and my husband in the process of her growing and has worked with us over any concerns that we have experienced with our daughter.

My daughter has stayed with Loraine for over 4yrs and we shall all miss her especially our daughter, who has in addition made some lovely friends while being in Loraine’s care. Having Loraine has been amazing and we hope we shall return to her sometime in the future!

Loraine has been childminding both my daughters :Florence ( 3.5years old ) &Poppy (18 months )

Florence was only 8 months old (from March 2016) and Poppy -she was only 9 months old (from April 2018)
She looked after the girls 3 days a week .
I have been extremely happy with the care that girls received, and the great progress both had made whiles in her care, I could write a book about how great Loraine is...!

Loraine's home is always welcoming , clean and organised and both girls had great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care.

Beyond all this thought , it is Loraine's warm and friendly but no nonsense approach with sets her apart from other childminders .

She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. I know both my girls enjoyed drawing, sticking, reading and puzzles as well as outings to the park and playgroups, soft plays and many more .

Loraine is a great communicator and had no trouble in gaining girls confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others , both skills which are important to us at home.

Although I provided food I know that Loraine was providing healthy snacks such as fruit and rice crackers .

All in all I am thoroughly extremely happy with level of care both girls received.
I am certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping my girls develop into a confident girls .

I was so sad to lose her as our Childminder as we moved home .

I would absolutely recommend Loraine as a Great, Trustworthy, Reliable Childminder

WE ( I )miss you already !! xxxxxxx

From the moment we met Loraine she was welcoming, friendly and full of life. Loraine looks after our 2 young sons full time (a 3yr old and an 11 month old). Loraine came highly recommended from a friend and it is a comfort knowing that our children and with her every day. They smile every morning when she opens the door and they happily wave goodbye as we leave them to their fun filled action pack day. They are happy healthy little boys and learn so much from Loraine and her family. Loraine is very driven and helps them progress through play and continuous learning. They have great appetites and Loraine even gets them to eat all their vegetables! What I like most about Loraine she is Mum during the day providing a balanced life for my children, disciplining them when needed, especially a lively toddler and very very loving. Sadly we are moving to the US and my only anxiety is that we can't take Loraine with us. I couldn’t recommend anyone more than Loraine to look after mine or anyone else’s children and we have been very lucky to have her in our lives. We are really going to miss her.

Loraine has been looking after our 11 month old since I returned to work a couple of months ago and has been an absolute godsend. Our son was happy and settled with Loraine right from the first time he met her and this was at at time when generally he really wasn't happy or settled with anyone new! Since he's been with Loraine, our son's confidence has developed greatly which has been lovely to see. I'm completely comfortable leaving him with her as I know he's in a caring home, is very well looked after and gets to have adventures every day (his days with Loraine sound so much more fun than my days in the office!). Absolutely gutted that we're moving away and so no longer able to use Loraine for childcare.

My 2 year old son loves Loraine! As do we!
When we were looking for childcare our top priority was finding a home from home for our son. We wanted him to be happy, well cared for and enjoy lots of experiences. Loraine has provided all of this and more. It's a big relief to know that our son is so happy and settled.
Loraine has made us all feel very welcome and part of her family. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

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.

Loraine looks after my 1 year old daughter and 5 year old son and I couldn't be happier with her. My children are both very happy in her care. She is very loving and fun for the children to be around. Loraine provides loving care, fun, stimulating activities and a lovely family environment. As a parent I feel that the lines of communication are always open and that it's really easy to talk about my child's needs and development; I genuinely have a partner in my children's care, which is wonderful. She is always flexible and extremely helpful, even having my son at very short notice when I was giving birth to my daughter! Loraine is a natural with children and she has a close bond with all the children she looks after. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Loraine currently looks after my little girl and has done for the last two years. I went back to work when she was only 8 months old and I felt at ease to know she was in Loraines care. Loraine is very friendly and has made my little one feel like part of her family. The activites that she does with all the kids is exciting and different each day. She is professional at all times and i feel lucky to have found her. Highly recommended.

Loraine was our childminder for more than 5 years. She looked after both my daughters since they were 6 months old to school age. Loraine provided them with lots of outdoor activities, taking them to Legoland, parks, toddler groups, Jakes, Little Angels etc on weekly basis. Loraine is very reliable, kind, caring and professional childminder. She genuinely cares a lot about the children under her care. I do not have any reservation to recommend Loraine to anyone.
