Best care possible

When our daughter was around 12 months old we started looking for daycare as my wife was returning to work on a contract. We took Serena to a highly rated nursery and she simply hated it. She would start crying as soon as she got near it, would be crying when we picked her up and did not settle at all. I thought this may be initial feelings to a change in routine, etc, but it continued. We took her out, and as first time parents did not know what to do. My wife found Laura online and she has been an absolute God-send. Within minutes of being in the house our daughter was happily walking round and playing with the toys. She instantly looked up to Laura with great affection. She is a totally different child to the one that used to attend nursery. She is happy, chatty, waving at us when we drop her off and at Laura at the end of the day smiling. She cannot wait to go there which is such a relief.

Laura let's us know how Serena is getting on, which was a great comfort especially in the first few weeks. The days are varied with many activities, going out to the park, etc, and Laura even took Serena and the other children to the zoo the other day. My wife and I struggled taking one child there on our own!

It's a fantastic learning environment which is perfectly suited to our daughter. It helps that Laura's own family are lovely and our daughter and her son seem to beat friends already. I couldn't recommended Laura highly enough, we have complete faith in the fantastic care she gives our daughter.
