About Me

OFSTED GRADED GOOD.
I am an Ofsted-registered childminder located in the Medway area. I provide comprehensive full-day care to support working parents while ensuring that children experience a structured and nurturing environment. My core hours are from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, which includes a balanced mix of educational activities, free play, and rest periods. Additionally, I am available for care on weekends and overnight. Please feel free to reach out for more information.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I incorporate Spanish into our daily activities so we can all learn and benefit. I live near a large park, and we enjoy going there when the weather is nice.

My Experience

I have been working with children for several years, starting as a nanny where I developed a deep passion for childcare. For the past 19 years, I have transitioned into childminding, where I provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. My extensive experience has equipped me with the skills to cater to the diverse needs of children, ensuring they receive individualized attention and care. Through activities that promote development and creativity, I strive to create a positive and engaging experience for every child in my care.

My Qualifications

I am fully registered with OFSTED, ensuring that I meet all necessary standards for childcare provision. I possess a Pediatric First Aid Certificate, which equips me with the skills to respond effectively to medical emergencies involving young children. As a dedicated member of the National Childminding Association (NCMA), I stay informed about best practices and regulations in the field. Additionally, I have undergone a thorough CRB check, which confirms my commitment to creating a safe and trustworthy environment for the children in my care.

My Availability

**Weekend and Overnight Space Availability**

Child care services are now available for weekends and overnight.

**Registered for Overnight Care**

- Emergency cover for unexpected situations
- Flexible hours to accommodate varying schedules
- Overnight services for your convenience
- Care during school holidays to support working parents

My Ofsted Inspections

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
26 September 2024
Children benefit from a stimulating environment and ambitious curriculum, according to a recent inspection. The childminder prioritizes language development, using every opportunity to introduce new words and engage in conversations. Strong partnerships with parents and cultural awareness activities are highlighted. All children, including those with special educational needs, make good progress. However, more regular reading of stories could further support developing literacy skills.

Laura does a great job, she is always doing little trips and activities for the children. Our toddler always enjoyed going to hers. Accomodates the toddlers/childs schedule the parents have worked towards. Would strongly recommend without hesitation her fantastic services. Thank you Laura!

Best of the Best!

5 stars

I've been with Laura for over a year now and it has been great. My daughter loves Laura and I trust her with my daughter life and more. I couldn't have found a better child minder for her and I'm so grateful that she taken to Laura from the beginning. As this was my first time leaving her in childcare. She is such a great person with excellent skills. She has a lovely family and a cute dog. And her house is always nice and tidy and warm.. I highly recommend her.
