About Me

** 1 space available January 2027 ** Hello, I'm Laura and have been an Ofsted registered childminder for 4 years. I live with my husband and 2 grown up children. I offer full or part time care and can pick up from Bitham Brook primary school or nursery.
At Happy days we aim to have just that, happy days in a home from home, caring environment, learning and having fun through play. I have a lovely light playroom and a large garden with lots of different toys to cater for all interests and stages of development. We love to get out and about daily visiting various parks, woods, animal farms, museums and even castles and stone circles in the surrounding areas, learning through exploring and being curious about the world around us.

My Experience

As a mother of 2 children and having over 20 years experience as a respite and full time foster carer I have gained lots of experience in caring for children. I have gained all the required childminding qualifications and regularly update my training to maintain excellent standards and keep abreast of new play theory and children's development guidelines.

My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

Good
15 February 2023
Young children are cared for in a warm, nurturing home environment where they feel safe and secure, forming strong bonds with their carer. They display good behaviour, cooperate well with peers, and are supported to become confident communicators through consistent conversation and praise. Hygiene routines and safeguarding practices are effectively embedded, and the carer works closely with parents and the local community to support children's wellbeing. However, children are not always encouraged to tidy away toys after play, which can lead to a cluttered environment and make it harder to find certain items.
