My Summary
About Me
Hi! My name is Laura and I run Laura’s Childminding; an Ofsted registered childminder.
We are based in my semi-detached home in south Birmingham, near to Northfield, Kings Norton and West Heath.
My setting is composed of our two downstairs rooms and a large rear garden. The children have access to a range of resources including a role-play area, a craft station, a water play table and a mud kitchen so a change of clothes is always a good idea! We are very lucky to have a number of local parks on our doorstep, and often go on nature walks in the local reserve.
We keep a range of toys and other play equipment in accessible locations so that the children can follow their interests and explore new resources when they get the urge; I love seeing the games that they come up with!
To keep you up to date on your little one’s adventures, I use the ‘Babys Days’ EYFS childcare management system. This allows me to track their progress against the EYFS Framework, sharing the photos, notes and any observations I make with you as I enter them. This is also how I share our policies, procedures, invoices and contracts with you. It’s a great way to show you what we’ve been up to and all you need to do is download the app and sign in.
To help with childcare costs, I participate in the government’s Tax-Free Childcare Scheme and offer free funded places for 2 and 3 year olds through the EEE scheme. Please contact me for more information about this or check the Government website for details.
My Experience
I have worked in various childcare roles for over 15 years. I have worked in private nurseries, being responsible for rooms of up to 12 toddlers and also worked for 3 families as their nanny.
This varied experience, with children ranging from 9 months to 12 years, has given me the skills I need to organise my time effectively, plan stimulating and engaging activities and help your children to progress and reach their potential.
I really enjoy how childminding allows me to focus on each child’s individual needs. Watching them learn and develop through play is why I love my job. Please get in touch and arrange a visit; I’d love to hear from you!

We’ve been using Laura since September. She is amazing, such a wonderful person with children. She gave me such a great feeling the first day I met her, it’s so important to be comfortable and content with the person looking after your child. I’m reassured when I leave for work knowing my son with have a great day with Laura, he already has a lovely bond with her.
I’d highly recommend her 😊
