Lauren

5 star Childminder

I cannot recommend Laura and Little meadows childcare highly enough. Our son moved from a private nursery setting to Laura at around 18 months old and he immediately became far more settled than he ever had at his previous setting. His speech came on rapidly due to the exposure to children of other ages, and due to the close care and attention from Laura.

His confidence came on leaps and bounds and now at 3 he is very comfortable going into social settings and trying new things, thanks in no small part to how much Laura does with the children. They are out in nature every day walking and feeding the ducks, and frequent outings include the local safari park, farm park, soft play, messy play classes, the beach and parks all over to name just a few. Laura also teams up with other local child minders and the children get to play in larger groups. Christmas parties, Halloween parties, arts and crafts, and learning both in and out of the house.
Communication was always great, with pictures being shared regularly to a private parents Facebook group and sent via WhatsApp, and Laura let us know of any concerns or issues promptly. We really feel that Laura genuinely cared for and loved our son and knew he was safe and having the best possible time when he couldn't be at home with us. I will be forever grateful for the role she has played in our son's life and have only moved on from her services as we have moved out of the area. If you get a spot with Little Meadows child care you are lucky indeed!
