About Me

My names Lauren and I am Registered with Ofsted. I am very close to Rayleigh, Eastwood and Leigh-on-sea!

I am 40 and live with my partner and 3 lovely children.
We also have two Rabbits and a hamster!

I offer a large setting with lots of toys and activities to enjoy. I follow the EYFS Statutory Framework to help every child ready for their journey into school life.

I have a very large garden with outdoor play equipment such as Swings, Slides, Water trays, Mud-kitchen, Trikes, Play-house etc
We love to be out doors in all weather's and we take trips out to local Parks, Woods, Beach, Farms, Zoo, Playgroups etc

Parents are the child's first and most important educators. I will build a great working relationship with the parents in order to ensure a great flow in the communication & ultimately offer the best care for your child.

A warm and supportive environment forms the foundation of this childcare setting. The provider creates a calm atmosphere where children feel safe and secure. Communication skills are prioritized through play-based commentary, helping children link words to actions. Regular outings familiarize children with their community, while independence is actively promoted. Mandatory training is completed, but further professional development could enhance teaching quality. Parents report improvements in their children's confidence and vocabulary.

5 stars

I feel so lucky that we found Lauren for my little one. Her dedication, warmth, and patience made my little girl feel right at home from the very beginning. From engaging activities to nutritious meals, she exceeded all expectations. She has been so flexible and concerned with my child’s individual needs. I honestly couldn’t be more grateful for her exceptional care and the positive impact she’s had on my child’s development. Her family have treated my daughter as one of their own and her children are some of the kindest and politest that I’ve had the pleasure to meet, so good with the little ones and such a credit to her. Lauren has been such a great support as both a childminder and now most definitely a friend.

Amazing, lovely, kind and caring childminder

5 stars

Lauren is really lovely and is a wonderful childminder. She is very kind and caring and is always keeping me updated on what my son has been up to with lots of pictures. She is brilliant at taking my son out to the park and lots of fun places. I highly recommend Lauren and I know I do not have to worry about my son when he is with her as he is very well cared for. He really enjoys going to the settling.

Caring childminder that brings peace of mind

5 stars

Lauren has looked after my daughter on an ad-hoc basis, as she was recommended via a friend. She is friendly, kind and patient and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed spending time at Lauren's house. There are always fun activities planned, and days out. Lauren was great at keeping in touch with me, and sharing photos - which was comforting, especially in my daughters first few visits. I would recommend Lauren as a great childminder for anyone looking.
