As a parent, all you ever wish is to spend every moment with your child; in the modern world, that simply isn’t always possible.

So when you have to leave your child in someone else’s care, the greatest hope is that they will be loved, respected and nurtured as if they were their own.

We have been incredibly blessed to find Lauren. From the very first moment we met her, we knew she was the person we wanted to help care for our little boy. We will always be so grateful that a space opened up for us!

Lauren is helping to shape our wonderful son into the strong, respectful and kind man he is becoming. She creates gentle boundaries that allow him to confidently explore the world around him, while encouraging his independence and growth. She nourishes his curiosity and his tummy (the turkey curry is a definite 10/10!).

From soft play adventures and arts and crafts to woodland walks and farm visits, we always look forward to hearing about the fun he’s had through her daily diary updates.

Lauren truly is a special lady, our very own Mary Poppins. When we leave our son in her care while we head off to work, we do so with complete peace of mind, knowing he is in the very best hands.

There simply aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for the role she plays in raising our son.
