Fantastic Childminder

5 stars

I can highly recommend Laura as a childminder! A warm, welcoming environment from the time you arrive and a huge variety of activities/days out on offer for the children to keep them entertained, educated and most importantly happy! From a parent’s point of view, the communication from Laura about my children and what they have been doing, is fantastic. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of a childminder. Thank you Laura! :)

My childminder for the last 6 months

5 stars

Laura has looked after my two boys for the last 6 months one day a week. She has always acted in a professional but also caring manner. My boys have settled well with her and talk about going to Laura’s each week. She does a variety of activities with them and has been flexible in her approach. I would recommend Laura to anyone looking for a childminder.
