We have been using Lana as our childminder for the past couple of years and have been absolutely delighted by her competence and professionalism when it comes to the care of our two children. Our daughter goes to her after school and enjoys playing with other children in her care.
Our son goes to Lana for three full days a week and engages in a range of exciting activities like, forest school, picnic and park outings, playgroup sessions and creative games and art activities that Lana will organise in her welcoming and well kept home.
Our son absolutely loves going to Lana and will often ask if he can go to hers on the days when he stays at home .
Lana has really taken time to know our children and will know what makes them click. She has a very patient and kind approach with the children whilst maintaining boundaries in a consistent way.
Lana is also very good communicating progress that our son has made and will make a detailed account of his day on babys day with lots of lovely pictures . We also very much appreciate her flexibility , Lana will always do her best to accommodate any changes and will take into account personal circumstances. Lana has been by far the best childminder we have had she really is hardworking and passionate about early years and any child being looked after by her will be in excellent hands.

Lana is simply the best...
She is very professional, has attention to details when it comes to the well being of my child. She took her time to understand our daughter.My daughter is super happy to go to Lana's house and always saying ''lets go to Lana's house mummy'' even over weekends!
Lana's house is clean,she is genuinely caring and has enough Toys and activities for the children.I always look forward to seeing the report and pictures daily of their actives and fun during the day. I am so happy and pleased when ever my little girl is at Lana's place.
My little girl has changed a lot from when she started,she was shy and quite but now she talks more, communicate better and its just amazing to see her change from being so quite to more confident and happy girl.
Thank you Lana,You are such a blessing!

I can not recommend Lana more highly for childminding. I found it really difficult leaving my son when he was 10 months old so I could return to work; Lana recognised this and not only looked after my son wonderfully, providing him with love and attention but she also looked out for me talking through the process and keeping me regularly updated.
My son is now 20months old and loves going to Lana's. He bounces into her house full of joy and excitement because everyday he does interesting things including going to local groups, playing in the park and playing all sorts of arts and messy play activities which don't always have the time/resources to do at home!
Lana really appreciates each child she looks after as an individual and gets to know them and their needs. She plays with them and gives them genuine love and kindness when they need it which is something I very much value. My son has also proved challenging at times with sleep and food. However Lana handles each situation professionally using her expertise to trial different solutions and talking them through with you.
The whole family are so warm and welcoming which reflects what a loving and stable environment Lana provides. Her two sons are happy to host the childminded children and my son really looks up to them like big brothers. I'm sure he can be annoying but they always treat him with so much respect keeping him entertained and happy!
Lana takes the time each day to let you know how your child got on and also uses the Babydays website to provide a daily report and photos: this is amazing and so reassuring when you have had to be away from your child.
As I said at the start, I can not recommend Lana highly enough!

Lana's setting was great for my daughter who was 2 when she started attending and very shy at the time but she bonded with Lana very quickly and Lana was able to nurture her interest in arts and craft to get her out of her little shell. Lana is very professional and a clean hearted person who enjoyed working with children and her family was very welcoming of my daughter who became good friends with her two sons. Her setting is child friendly and safe she has a very fun fill schedule which stimulated my daughter mentally and physical activities like walks in the local wood that helped my daughter to be physically confident. I would highly recommend her services for any body looking for a brilliant child minder very flexible to suit my partners work schedule. Even though my daughter is attending nursery now she still ask why she is not going to Lana s as she miss her hugs and kisses.

As soon as I met Lana I knew she was the person I wanted to take care of my daughter when I went back to work. She is calm, warm and clearly loves children, the setting is 'homely' and child centred. The transition into childcare was difficult for my daughter but Lana was extremely patient, flexible and very professional. My daughter is now so happy when she knows she is going to Lana's and will often ask after her even on the days she is not due to see her. Lana provides me with a full verbal update on how the day has gone and in the evenings we receive an online account of the day with photographs and development updates, it's really a lovely record of my daughter's day. We can thoroughly recommend Lana's services, thank you Lana.

Lana looked after my 2 children, 25 months old girl and 15 months old boy, for a couple of months in spring 2015. It was an emergency arrangement while I was looking for a leave-in nanny. Lana was brilliant as she was flexible to fit us in her busy schedule and came to my home in the morning and then took kids to hers. On the days I had to travel to the office I brought kids to her place for the whole day.
Unfortunately, the nanny I had before had to leave as she could not look after 2 little kids, one of which just started walking and another is steady on legs, but needed to be looked after carefully because of young age. Also, I had a couple of bad trials while trying to find a nanny for my 2 young kids. So, I know it is a lot of work to look after 2 young kids and not everyone capable of this. It takes either qualification or experience. But Lana has both. She was a god send and brought peace of mind during this difficult time. When Lana looked after my kids, I was sure that they were safe, clean, fed and also had plenty of activities to learn new things.
Lana used to work in a kindergarten, so she knows a lot of activities. She has a lot of toys at home, so kids are always entertained. Also, Lana cooks simple healthy meals, which was really important for me as a mother. My kids enjoyed their time with Lana. Probably, a bit too much as they did not want to leave her house at the end of the day!
I can highly recommend Lana as she is amazing at creating relaxing, safe and fun environment for kids.

Lana has been looking after my son since January.
He settled well and very quickly. He seems very happy.
Every morning he would wake up and ask whether its a day he goes to Lana's house which is a reassuring sign for me as a parent that he likes spending time with Lana.
Lana is friendly and naturally loving person. You can see that she loves children. I feel relaxed when I leave my son as I know he is in good care and looked after well. She has two children of her own and my son has made a great bond with both of them.
She provides wide range of activities indoors and outdoors. Her house is well set for different type of play and activities. Lana does lots of different activities during the day and updates me by sending pictures.
I would definitely recommend her.

Thank you, Diana. I always appreciate feedback on my services. It makes me very pleased to know that both parents and children are happy with me.

I visited Lana today to discuss childcare for my two small children. unfortunately I have not gone ahead with placing my children with her purely because there became more spaces available at my son's nursery which he already attends pretty school hours .
but should anything change regarding nursery I would be more than happy for Lana to care for my children .
her home is very welcoming, clean and tidy with lots of toys for the children . there is a fully equiped play room suitable for a variety of ages and a big garden.
my children loved meeting Lana and her son and I would recommend others who are looking for childcare to contact Lana. :-)
