Laura Ellen Knell's Reviews

Great Service

Laura has provided great childcare for my 1 and 4 year for the last 4 months. I had to switch to a childminding since my nursery closed due to covid lockdown. Laura was able to step in and offer her services at relatively short notice for full-time childcare for both children.

Both my children have developed very well whilst in her care. She is very reassuring and has a good setting for the children to do outdoor play and do other activities.

Laura gives good feedback to which is reassuring and good to here aymt the end of each day.

She and her family members who are also registered to help with the childcare have been greatly accommodating which has been reassuring to know that the children are always in good hands.

Thank you Laura!

6 years of great childcare!!

My son was with Laura initially from the age of 2 for long days as I worked hospital shifts but as he started school I found a 9-5 and Laura did before and after school care. Last year we moved area so my son started a new school and sadly we said goodbye to Laura and her family 😢

Laura is very friendly and kind woman who is great with the kids. She has sooooo many toys and activities for all ages and really works hard at making sure the children are happy.

It’s a big decision to leave your child with a stranger but I can honestly say I always knew my son was safe and happy at Laura’s.

My son (now 9) says ‘Laura was very helpful and feels like part of the family and I felt safe there’

Reliable, Helpful and Fun!

Laura looked after my daughter from when she was 7 months old and I had to return to work. I was so nervous about leaving her but Laura put me at ease and my girl loved it in her setting, especially with all the attention she was getting!

My daughter was in Laura’s setting until she started school and now attends on an ad-hoc basis throughout the school holidays. She’s learnt a lot with Laura, she had great preparation for starting school due to regular progress reviews Laura performed. She had access to all the different activities on offer including access to a garden with a selection of apparatus, which she loved as she grew! My daughter has made many friends along the way too!

Thanks to Laura for helping me out when I’ve become stuck without childcare, always on standby to help when she can, much appreciated!

My daughter has had the best start in life, she misses you all lots when she’s not with you 😊 xx

Very reliable childminder!

For the last 5 years Laura has looked after my daughter , I have not had to worry at all. My daughter started attending when she was only 8.5 months and I was going back to work full time. I wanted someone reliable whom my daughter could trust and warm to in a homely setting. From the word go my daughter adapted well and she has continued to enjoy the setting. My daughter has learnt a lot, made some lovely friends and developed into an independent clever girl! Having an offsted registered childminder ensures that your child develops through a guided curriculum ready for school and beyond!
I particularly like the fact hhat Laura takes the kids out to different activities. This helps them develop in different areas and stimulate their little brains.
Laura also offers various dinners allowing the kids to try different foods. My daughter is fussy with food but she has managed to try and like different foods.
