First class service and person

Laura until very recently looked after our son for 6 + years (age 1-7). Our first impressions was of a caring and vastly experienced childcare provider, who will always put the welfare and developmental needs of the children first. These initial thoughts never changed.

It always amazed us how Laura blended seamlessly, both education and fun in to a harmoniousness environment for the children. We were always kept up to date through regular communications about any changes in policy, welfare, first aid and risk assessments. Along with the nurturing environment for the children to grow in and the educational side, Laura also focuses on ensuring the children eat nutritionally balanced meals.

I always took comfort in knowing that our son was with a best in class provider who has played a huge part in helping to shape our son in to a well mannered, intelligent and happy little boy he is today.

Hi thank you so much for your wonderful review it really means so much to me. 😊

A fantastic childminder

Laura has been my childminder now for 8 years, looking after both my son and daughter. I absolutely cannot fault Laura and how she cares for my children. My son adores Laura and my daughter still asks to go during the school holidays she enjoys it so much! Laura achieves the perfect balance of fun and learning, and my son has come on leaps and bounds development wise during his time with her. I get regular updates throughout the day of the activities they have been doing, and Jack enjoys his meals there too, always keen to tell me what he has had for his dinner. The play area is very clean and welcoming and Laura always seems to have different toys to play with, and new daily activities planned. It’s so very important to be able to leave your children in a safe and nurturing environment and I feel that I am doing exactly that when I drop them off. Laura is really friendly and professional and I can’t recommend her enough.

Thank you for your lovely review it means so much to me x

2nd Mum to my Boys

Laura has been my childminder for nearly 7 years now. She's more than a childminder to me, she is the 2nd Mum to my 2 boys. The playroom setting is brilliant, my youngest runs in every morning and is excited to see what toys and activities Laura has planned for the day. Laura keeps me up to date througout the day with messages and a diary to take home in the evening. I always love seeing what craft activities Laura has done with the boys and Laura has been fundamental in their early years development.
There is always a good choice of food on offer for the boys, their favourite is chilli con carne and Laura's special chicken salad wraps.
I would not hesitate to recommend Laura's services, she is highly organised, professional and the boys adore her. My boys could not be in better hands whilst i'm at work.

Fantastic Childcare Provider

Having met with several childminders Laura was the obvious choice. She has a welcoming home and a lovely family, who are adored by both of my children. She has been wonderful with my two year old, who affectionately calls her "My Laula". My 5 year old also has a wonderful time during the before and after school care and is always excited to tell Laura about his day. She has a, reassuringly, professional but approachable manner which has made returning to work worry free.

Excellent Childminder

Laura Smith is a superb Childminder. She is very professional in her manner and provides a friendly, warm and family orientated childcare service. Our son loves going to Laura's and she undertakes a range of activities to further the childrens development. We especially like our daily diary informing us of what our son has done during the day including what he has eaten for breakfast and lunch. It is very reassuring as a working parent to know that your child is happy and being looked after to a high standard where he feels like one of the family. I would certainly recommend Laura to any parent looking for a childminder.
