My little boy has been cared for by Laura 5 days a week since he was 9 months old (I had to work full time) - he is now 2 and a half and is still cared for by Laura and that really does prove how much he loves it there and how happy we are, as parents to have him there. Laura is just amazing with kids...attentive, knowledgeable (I'm always asking for tips on things as her 2 boys are really lovely), fun, playful, loving (plenty of cuddles) energetic, not afraid of singing, always looking out for great things for them to do and tracking down classes/new parks/activities, etc. - this and plenty of learning, too, all tailored to their age. Laura will also heed anything you wish to advise such as change in sleep patterns or fave food. The environment Laura looks after the kids in is also brilliant - plenty of room, plenty of toys/books/educational material - and the toys available are changed regularly such as a dinosaur table one day and tractors on a farm the next and will usually relate to a theme for the day. Laura sends a full week's activity list on a Sunday evening along with a full and well researched menu for the week ahead - and my son loves it there so much that he sometimes asks to 'go to Laura's house' at a weekend! I can go to work assured that he's in the best possible care. Oh, and at the end of each day, Laura emails a comprehensive summary of my son's activities during the day, things to note, actions observed - Laura really takes notice of all new things my son is picking up on and the regular reviews are extra reassurance of a super caring environment. My son loves going there every morning and I couldn't recommend Laura more..she's an absolute star.
