Wonderful, caring, supportive, an absolute delight

I really struggled to go back to work full-time and leave my little girl into the hands of someone else. Lara was beyond a God-send in those first few months. She gave me regular updates, wonderful reassurance, lots of photos, and organised amazing activities daily for everyone in her care, which gave my worried heart some much needed peace. My little girl has grown so much in her time with Lara. She's so much more expressive, so sociable, isn't afraid of dogs anymore, and has been picking up on wonderful manners that I know we (shamefully!) didn't show her first and have come straight from Lara!

We will miss her very much. She also has the most gorgeous set-up for activities and days of learning and fun. Whether the kids stay home or go out, there's always an interactive activity and lots of play. Most photos I get of my daughter she is playing with others, laughing, and running around in Lara's garden, even picking up the courage to go down the slide with a bit of encouragement from the other children. Her set-up is better than most nurseries we visited, and to top it all, she is the calmest and kindest person. The perfect character to be dealing with little beings with big feelings. I felt at such peace with her, I know she's looked after my girl in the best possible way, even when she was teething and grumpy, Lara has always been kind, warm, compassionate, and loving.

Lara will always have a special place in our hearts, we really couldn't recommend her more. Thank you for everything!
