We honestly couldn’t recommend Laura (and Rob) highly enough. They have been looking after our daughter since she was just four months old, and now, nearly four years later, she has become such a special and important part of our lives. They truly are our daughter’s second home - her home away from home.

Leaving your baby with someone for the first time is such a huge milestone as a parent, but from the very beginning we knew she was in the best possible hands. Laura has always been incredibly loving, caring and nurturing, and has given our daughter such individual attention and affection. The one-to-one care and smaller, homely environment have been wonderful for her, and we have loved watching her grow and flourish in such a warm and supportive setting.

Over the years, Laura has been there for so many of our daughter’s little milestones and big moments. She has helped her grow from a tiny baby into the happy, confident, funny and independent little girl she is today. It is clear that she genuinely cares about the children she looks after, gets to know them as individuals and takes great pride in helping them develop and thrive.

She has also always been incredibly flexible, understanding and supportive of us as parents. We have always felt that we could communicate openly with her and that she would do everything she could to support our family. That level of trust is priceless when someone is looking after your child.

Our daughter is now almost four and still absolutely loves going. She talks about her days there with such happiness, and we know that when she starts school, she is going to miss her, the other children and her little home away from home enormously. In many ways, it feels like the end of such a special chapter for us.

But we feel incredibly lucky that it isn’t quite goodbye. Her baby sister is due to arrive soon and will also be going to the Laura and Rob’s. There is no greater testament to how much we trust them than choosing them again for our second daughter. We are confident that they will give her the same love, care, attention and encouragement, and we can’t wait to see our youngest grow and flourish in the same environment.

We have recommended Laura to friends and family with children countless times, and we will continue to do so without hesitation. Finding someone you completely trust with your child is such a special thing, and we feel incredibly fortunate that we found her nearly four years ago.

Thank you for everything you have done for our daughter and for our family. We genuinely couldn’t have wished for a better person to care for her during these precious early years. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
