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 Experience

Through activities that promote development and creativity, I strive to create a positive and engaging experience for every child in my care.

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.

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!

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.
