Loretta Young's Reviews

wonderful childcare experience

Our grandson spends 3 days per week with Loretta and I feel so lucky that he is able to experience the care and love she gives him. I know from his comments that he loves being with Loretta and has such special times with her… on a train, ringing bells, playing in tents, relaxation and exercise… so many lovely activities that he enjoys. As a grandmother I feel very happy and reassured that my beautiful grandson is privileged to experience the care and love that Loretta provides… thank you Loretta 😊

Thankyou so much for your lovely words. He fits in a treat and is always so happy and willing to try everything! What’s more he’s a total pleasure to care for.

Great childminder - children learn lots

Reuben had a lovely experience with Loretta. His speech and confidence came on so much in the time her was there. The children get to go out lots and experience different things. They do P.E on a Friday which is lovely. Reuben has come in so much. We were sad to leave but unfortunately Loretta is taking on fewer children over all. I would recommend her as Reuben has really developed hugely in confidence since being there.

Thankyou so much for your lovely words. We’re really going to miss him!

Brilliant

My daughter was with Loretta for a year and she absolutely loved going there. The children are always out and about doing a wide variety of activities. Loretta is great with teaching the kids good manners and being kind to everyone, for example, giving the refuse collectors bottles of water. We were always informed of any issues with our daughter and her day was always documented with loads of photos. I would highly recommend Loretta.

Thankyou so much! We really miss girly and the children often talk her. I hope she’s settled brilliantly at big school.

Amazing

Loretta is the first childminder that I take my little girl to. After only 3 weeks since Agnes goes there she has learned so many things and she has so much fun. Everyday they do new activities. I highly recommend Loretta to all the parents that need childcare. For me as a new mum she has given great support. I truly believe that God sent her in our lives, that much gratitude we have towards her.

Thankyou so much for your lovely words. It’s lovely to see Agnes becoming more confident every day. It’s lovely to see such willingness to join in and learn with us.

JUST AMAZING!!!

Loretta is a wonderful childminder who cares for my two year old daughter. Her week is filled with lots of variety of activities to develop her and she is having so much fun! In just a month, we have noticed her speech developing really well, she now has new friends she loves spending time with and she can’t stop talking to us about Loretta and the girls! My daughter loves animals and Loretta has some lovely pets that M looks forward to seeing. Loretta has taken her out on some amazing trips out and about and she is having the time of her life! Just look at all the pics Loretta uploads weekly, it’s amazing. We cannot thank Loretta enough for her care, kindness and all the things she does for our little one. We definitely recommend her to anyone, you would be lucky to have her as your child’s childminder!

Thankyou so much for your lovely words-they’re very much appreciated.

A+++

Massive shout out to you Loretta for all the incredible work that you do. My daughter has been with Loretta for about 3 months now and made so much more progress than she ever did in 2 years at nursery. Being a pandemic baby she was scared of everything - animals, new people, new things etc but with all the adventures she gets up to with Loretta she is now so confident and brave. I am really enjoying the great working relationship we have built with Loretta as we work together in the best interest of my daughter. My favourite part of the day is seeing all the photos of everything they get up to during the day and seeing my daughter so happy but also seeing the great balance of play and education that they get up to. I would have no reservations recommending Loretta to any parent as it’s turned out to be the best decision i made for my child

Thankyou so much for your beautiful words! Little Miss has definitely come on in absolute leaps and bounds since joining us and this has to be the most outstanding improvement I’ve experienced in 30 years with a new child! I also smile from ear to ear when you tell me this (at least twice a week haha) as it reconfirms to me what a wonderful difference I can make to children’s lives and how this is truly appreciated! Thankyou 😄

Excellent childminder!

A bid "Thank you" to Loretta for helping me out and more importantly, helping my son. Loretta's details were passed on to me by someone... I called and she answered! My son and I were going through a very challenging time with school; I needed my son to be looked after, so she kindly invited over to see her home and environment. My son enjoyed being at her home - Loretta has a relaxed atmosphere, there were other children in her home and he seemed to "slot in". Every day they went out for an adventure, we would look at his pictures from the day and he would tell me about his adventures - what they did, where they went, who they saw, etc. It was lovely to hear him speak positively about his day and the pictures were great (I need to make an album!).

All in all, Loretta was great, and I highly recommend her... excellent childminder and excellent service.

Thankyou so much for your lovely words. Much appreciated!

Educational and fun

Our daughter has been going to Loretta’s since November, and has such fantastic (and educational!) experiences, and they are always doing something different.

As a little one that was only 4 months old when we went into lockdown 1, we were quite nervous about our first experience of childcare outside of family. We didn’t need to fear though, and our daughter has a fab time with Loretta and has made some lovely little friends. Whilst our daughter has suffered some separation anxiety, we have been able to work through this together with Loretta, as a key partner to the success of our family. With her empathy and support, we are out the other side (touch wood!), but if not, we trust that there is a huge knowledge base in Loretta to help us get our little girl back on track.

Our daughter’s language and counting has come on leaps and bounds, and her vocabulary, comprehension and conversation has expanded to include all the exciting things they do.

Would recommend for your littlies

Aww that’s so lovely. Thankyou so much for your kind words :-)

Great Childminder

Loretta is really nice; she keeps Lara very busy with multiple and variable indoor and outdoor activities that our daughter loves doing. Day by day she has managed to gain our daughter trust and love.
She also has helped a lot keeping us updated with all the required paperwork, etc.
