Laura's Reviews

Like part of the family

I can not recommend Laura (Laulau) enough. From the moment my eldest was in her care, I felt so relieved to have her in our lives. Even at our introduction meeting my boy felt comfortable enough to snuggle and fall asleep with her (he was 10m old at that point). Laura’s setting feels like a home away from home, but with all the educational support of an early years setting. Laura helped overcome key milestones in the journey, including speech and potty training, and helped embed my ideal family values, such as manners and kindness. When school started, Laura was there for us for drop offs and pick ups. We would have been lost without her.

Even though our chapter with Laura came to an end. Our families regularly keep in touch and when my boy sees her in the playground, he still runs for a hug and tells me how much he misses her. Xx

Awww lovely words Lauren means a lot thank you ☺️ he's such an adorable little boy. I like my hugs at school bless him 💙

Highly Recommend!

We’ve had a fantastic experience with Laura at The Young Ones Childminding Service. From day one, Laura created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment for our child. It’s clear how much care and thought goes into every part of the day from creative activities and outdoor play, to trips out and calm nap times.
Our child settled in quickly and was always happy and excited to go each week, which speaks volumes. We saw real growth in our little boys confidence, language, and social skills, throughout his time with Laura.

It’s reassuring as a parent to know your child is in such good hands, we were always so grateful for the support and communication Laura provided. We highly recommend Laura to any family looking for a caring, professional and genuinely lovely childminder.

Awww thank you so much Kirsten bought a tear to my eye. Thank you for letting me be part of your child's learning journey. He's a great little boy and we miss him lots. But I'm sure he's still spreading that infectious smile and smashing school 😊

Outstanding!

"She is more of a family friend than a childminder" is what I was told before taking my son to Laura & wasnt they right. Laura is such a kind, calm and caring person. She would always have different set ups depending on the type of year, valentines, Halloween, Christmas ect and the amout of arts and crafts I got i will treasure forever. I always said I wouldnt want to force my child to go to a childminder, but I had the opposite, i would have to force my child to leave. Looking forward to Laura opening her doors again after baby to welcome my 2nd son. I would highly recommend Laura. Thank you for everything Laura.

Thank you so much holly means the world to me knowing how happy you are with the service you receive. Feel so privileged to be part of your boys journey ❤️

Highly recommended!!!

Hi my name is Kele, and Laura looks after my two year old son. Olly started at the beginning of Sept '2012', and i was a little apprehensive at first as he had gone to a nursery before & just did not like it. On the first week we had tears, which was to be expected, as it was completely new to him. However Laura has been absolutely fantastic with him, & with it being like a home from home Olly has really taken to this environment. He loves going to the different playgroups & interacting with the other children. It has now come to the point that he cries when i pick him up as he just dont want to leave!! I can go to work in the knowledge that he is in safe hands & "having lots of fun" as Olly says. A massive thankyou to Laura & keep up the good work X
