My Summary
About Me
My name is Lana, and I am an OFSTED registered childminder and I am eligible to deliver Free Early Education. I really enjoy being surrounded by children, giving them all the care and encouragement they need, watching them grow, and hearing them laugh.
I am very caring and patient, and being a mother myself, I understand how heartbreaking it is for you not being there for your little treasure. Therefore, I will do my best to carry out every one of your wishes, and while you are working, have your child's safety and best interests always first.
I will be keeping in touch with you via WhatsApp, sending you messages with photos and videos so we can celebrate every little achievement together.
My Experience
I offer a friendly and stimulating home from home setting with lots of fun and cuddles, educational play and healthy food.
We like to go out and about and love outdoor play weather permitting! We do lots of creative and messy play and there will be a WhatsApp chat for each child with photos, work, achievements and observation/assessment/planning notes to help with each child's learning requirements.
I have a healthy eating policy and I like to cook with children well balanced simple meals suitable for all ages. I provide only healthy snacks with plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Lana looked after our son from when he was only 7 months old. She is an incredibly hard working and caring person. Lana helped us out in so many ways and was always flexible. My little one has never been a great sleeper and Lana has given him the patience, care and closeness he needed. Thank you so much Lana for everything!!!

Thank you very much, Giulia,
I hope you have settled in your new place well!
My daughter was always excited to go to Lana's and made a great friend there. I liked that Lana was great with keeping the kids engaged with both indoor and outdoor activities. There was never a dull day! She was also very good with keeping me updated with my child's progress. I highly recommend Lana, her service is truly outstanding and her relationship with both parent and child is truly amazing.

Thank you so much Jenni for this feedback. I wish you all the best with your next step!
Lana looks after my son and my son loves to stay with her. She is very considerable, reliable and warm hearted. And also she provided very good quality meal and my son eats a full plate all the time when he is with her. I can’t thank enough for her wonderful care to my son and hope she will still have vacancy to take my son when we are back. Highly recommend.

Thank you Coral,
I hope to see you soon.
Lana looked after my 22 months old son and 6 years old girl brilliantly. My children were always very happy when I picked them up. If not because of our changed circumstances, we would still be with her. My children really missed Lana.
Thanks Lana for the care, much appreciated.
