Laura has been my childminder for the past three years and I cannot speak more highly of her. I am very jealous of all the wonderful activities that the children do with her, rather than being stuck indoors they are always going to different places and trying different things.

In addition to external activities Laura spends time developing their skills by doing lots of reading and writing activities and has been very good at tailoring activities to the different needs and requirements of my children.

Laura has a good network of childminder contacts which means that the children get to mix lots with other children.

Laura always keeps me informed as to the children which is valuable when you are a full time mum. For example when my daughter found out she was Mary in the pre school nativity Laura allowed her to phone me at work to tell me first, which for me was a precious moment and allowed me to be involved whilst still being at work.
