Littleexplauras's Reviews

Absolutely amazing

My son Ezra has been coming here since he was 9 months old and is soon to turn 3. He absolutely adores both Sam and Laura and loves coming to see them and his friends. They’re always doing interesting activities or experiments, having trips out and we constantly get updated with what Ezra has done throughout the day. We are so happy that we chose Little Explauras for him to go to and will be very sad when he leaves to start school. The ladies are so kind and welcoming and ensure all of the children in their care get the best start to education, play and building friendships/relationships. We bring packed lunches and are always updated on how much they’ve eaten through the app they use, and they encourage the children to sit with their friends at the table. Thank you guys for everything you’ve done for us! X

Aww thank you soo much for your wonderful words Katie! We love having Ezra in our setting. He’s such a bright, chatty little boy who’s made lots of friends. He’s like me and loves to sing and dance all the time and loves to learn new songs. We will be so sad when he has to go to school reception but we know we will have prepared him and helped give him the tools to thrive in a school setting. Xx

A true home from home experience!

My little girl has been going to Laura’s since just after she turned one and she absolutely loves it there. She thrives so much in the environment Laura provides and has come on leaps and bounds with her development and communication.

Both Arabella and us as parents are always made to feel so welcome, and Laura and Sam really do go above and beyond for all of the children they care for. It’s such a warm and loving environment.

Arabella also has allergies and Laura is great at accommodating for this, which gives us so much peace of mind. It’s clear that her needs are taken seriously and catered for, and we always feel reassured knowing she is safe and well looked after.

I especially love the updates we get during the day, including photographs from the setting. It’s so reassuring to see what she’s been up to and it’s clear to see how much she has bonded with Laura, Sam and the other children.

I was so nervous leaving her when she first started, but now it truly feels like a home from home, and I know she is looked after and cared for just as much as she is at home. I’m so happy I chose a childminder setting for her, especially Laura’s. We’re so happy in fact that we’ve already booked our 3 month old in for when the time comes.

Thank you so much Laura and Sam, we are so grateful we have you both 🫶

Aww Lauren that’s such a gorgeous review, thank you soo much!! 🥰 We love seeing you all in our setting and we’re loving Arabella’s character growing more and more. She’s such a bright, cheeky, chatterbox and is starting to make some cute friendships each day she’s in the setting. She’s come on leaps and bounds in the time she’s been in the setting so can’t wait to see how much she grows during her whole time with us!!
We are super excited to have Delilah joining us next year too! She’s gorgeous and we love seeing how much she’s growing and I even got some beautiful smiles from her yesterday 🥰🥰 xx

Couldn't ask for a better childminder!

Our son Harry has been coming to Little Explauras for just over a year and we honestly couldn't be happier with the childcare here. Laura and Sam are both so lovely, supportive and
reliable and go above and beyond for parents and children. They have become like an extended part of our family and Harry is so happy spending time here. His development and socialisation has come on so much since starting here and parents receive regular photos, videos and updates throughout the day. Going back to work after maternity leave is difficult but Little Explauras made the transition so much easier and stress free. Thank you so much Laura and Sam I don't know what we'd do without you!

Aww Lauren!! 🥰🥰 you’ve made me tear up! 🥺 we love that you feel like we are like an extended family, as we love you all! 😍 you are a lovely family to work with and it’s soo lovely to see how much Harry has came on since joining us! 😍 xx

Amazing!!!

5* childcare with so much excitement and fun things for the children to do! Parker, my son has been going to Laura's since he was 9 month old and he has learnt so much.
During a day with Laura we receive lots of pictures and videos, plus teaches us/parker about his milestones and what his next steps are. The children are so lucky as Laura constantly does different things to keep the children entertained. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone, such a kind person who evidently loves her job. Amazing price too in comparison to some nurseries/childcare settings.

Aww thank you Megan!! 😍😍 that means a lot! We love having Parker in the setting. He’s such a gorgeous little character and it’s lovely hearing him blossom the more he attends the setting. Xx

Fantastic!

Our daughter, Chloe, has been going to Little Explaura's for nearly 2 years now, since she was 6 months old, and we couldn't be happier with care she has received.

We get daily updates, photos and videos; I always have complete peace of mind that my daughter is safe and having the best time with her little group of friends. Laura plans endless activities for them all, indoors and outdoors (her garden is amazing!), aswell as frequent trips to the park, playgroups etc, and you can tell they love every minute of it! Laura often does themed weeks, making a real effort to teach the children about different things and places. My daughter's speech and confidence has developed so fast and I honestly think much of this is down to all the interaction and activities at Laura's.

Laura is kind, friendly and so patient, a real natural with children; my daughter felt instantly comfortable with "waura" as she calls her. She is very understanding and flexible if we occasionally have any last minute changes at work etc. My older daughter, aged 5, often goes to Laura's during the school holidays aswell, and then gets disappointed when it's time for back to school as she has had so much fun there! They have SO much to tell me about their day when I pick them up.

Ultimately the most important thing to me when I was looking for a childminder was finding a kind, caring person who my little girl felt comfortable and safe with, and we definitely struck gold finding Laura!

Amazing childcare in every way!

Laura is 100% 5* childminder with endless imagination for kids' entertainment, weekly topics and a huge array of activities for kids.
My daughter has been attending her settings for 18 months and her development dramatically improves after each visit.
Laura reports daily about activities they did, sends loads and loads of pictures and videos, plus follows government set development plan for each age group, and again reports back about development milestones my daughter has reached and if she needs any help to reach certain goals.
Before the lockdown Laura would take kids out and about to playgroups and different events created for kids, but what made me happy most of all, is that during lockdown, she manages to find things to do even indoors and in the garden (the garden's every inch is filled with kid's activity areas!)
We are very happy that we found such an amazing childminder and couldn't wish for anything better!
When you come to view her settings look at her son Leo, he is a testament to her work ( and genetics too of course :) ) - what a happy, chatty, active and so well developed (probably a year ahead in his development) boy he is! Laura has the same sunny personality and is very clever and caring woman. ❤️
