I have found Lauren flexible, understanding and compassionate. My son clearly loves her, her partner Chris and their assistant Emma - at drop off I can see he is excited to spend the day there. As a nervous first-time mum they made settling in easy when I had to go back to work. Their setting is home-from-home with lots of outside space which has been the right fit for us. I feel confident my child is safe and happy at Lauren's.

Lauren and Chris have been excellent childminders for my daughter, now 2. They are a safe pair of hands and I know I can drop her off and not worry. They provide photos of activities and what the kids get up to in the day which is both a highlight and delight. Very grateful to have found them.

My children aged 11 and 7 absolutely adore Laurens home setting. She has ample space for the children to run around and play and burn off lots of energy. She is very friendly and clearly has a lot of experience with children.

Lauren has looked after my now 5 and 4 year olds for 3 years after being with another childminder and things not clicking. Lauren has been incredible, she’s not only amazing with my children (one of which is by far more demanding) she has supported me when I’ve faced challenges and needed help with the kids. Lauren (and her husband Chris) have been so accommodating, understanding and one of the best decisions I’ve made for my children. The space Lauren has at her setting has been invaluable for my more free range son and I have very happy children who ask to go to her house on weekends (on a regular basis!). I’m so pleased we found Lauren.

I’ve known Lauren for many years now, we’ve been on the nursery school committee together and the school PTA together through the years. She’s fun, fair, great with kids and I have nothing but good words to say about her. She has known and looked after our kids for over 3 years now, be it baby-sitting, childminding after school, at her before school care breakfast club, whilst working around the various clubs etc our children have, and we love her to bits and fully entrust her with our kids, aged 9 and 11 now, and also her partner Chris. She is always as accommodating and flexible as she can be, and nothing seems ever a problem. She’s a star and will continue to look after our kids for the foreseeable future! Thank you Lauren (and Chris!) ❤️

Lauren has been looking after our little boy since he was 7 months old, he is now 1.5 years and absolutely loves going to Lauren as his childminder. We met with a handful of childminders before we found Lauren but didn’t feel really comfortable with any of them, When we first went to visit Lauren’s lovely home something clicked straight away and we knew she was the right fit for us. It’s a great setting and our little boy has flourished there. I would highly recommend Lauren and her childminding services.

Lauren is a very reliable nanny and babysitter. She has been our part time nanny and babysitter for our son, who has special needs and our older daughters for 8 months. She will be working full time for her other family from September, but we will still use her for occasional babysitting. We would recommend her as a babysitter! (and nanny)
