About Me

Hello, I’m Lauren Hanna, and I’m excited to be opening my home from home childminding setting in July 2026. I am registered with Tiney and hope to offer funded places from September 2026.

I’m a wife and a proud mum of three children two boys and a girl and I absolutely love being a mum. My own family is a huge part of who I am, and I’m passionate about creating a warm, nurturing environment where children feel happy, safe and valued. I’m also a little Disney obsessed, and our favourite family holiday destination is Disney World!

My childminding setting is based in Barnton, offering children a modern, neutral play space alongside a wonderful large outdoor area that we will enjoy every day, whatever the weather. I am also just a short walk from our local primary school, making school drop-offs and collections convenient for families.

My approach is to provide a slow, unhurried childhood where children can explore, be creative, build confidence and follow their own interests. I believe children learn best through play, curiosity and hands on experiences, allowing them to discover the world around them at their own pace.

I love extending children’s learning through meaningful experiences and outings linked to their interests. For example, if we have been exploring farm animals, we may visit a local farm to bring their learning to life. We will enjoy weekly welly walks, as well as trips to local parks, the library, soft play centres and other community activities.

We are also lucky to have two very special guinea pig friends, Pickles and Norman, who provide wonderful opportunities for children to learn about caring for animals, kindness and responsibility.

My aim is to create a setting where every child feels at home, where their interests are celebrated, and where they can enjoy a happy, playful and memorable childhood.
