We were so lucky to find Lorraine and as soon as we met her we knew she was the right person and the perfect setting for our son.

She has looked after him from my return to maternity leave in 2017 and also my daughter from 2021. We have sadly moved away recently and miss her dearly!

She really knows how to read a child, understand their needs and create a connection. I can't put a value on going to work and never having to worry or have concerns about the kids - just priceless. Lorraine's setting is truly a home away from home and like extended family. She knew how to bond with my super clingy daughter born during Covid times and both children still talk fondly about Lorraine and their friends there. They eat delicious healthy meals, loved playing in her garden and trips to the park, playgroup visits and drawing and learning. She taught them good manners, was instrumental starting potty training for my son and was a complete support while my husband and I juggled our busy jobs and hectic life.

She sent us lots of pictures, provided updates and has been so caring. I can't recommend her enough. She is brilliant!
