Outstanding!

5 stars

My daughter attended Lorraine’s setting for 3 years. The only reason I had to take her out was because I am a teacher and knew it would be easier if I moved her to the school I teach at. My daughter was very happy in Lorraine’s care. Lorraine is a fantastic communicator and extremely trust worthy. I built a fantastic relationship with her and my daughter still request to visit her.
Her setting is child friendly and she makes every effort to create a creative space, where the children are consistently engaged and are able to freely express themselves.

Amazing!

5 stars

My son has been going to Little Lah Lahs since October 2019. Honestly, the best decision I have made. Lorraine is a superb childminder, patient and professional with such great energy with the kids and in general. There is not one fault I can find and I would 100% recommend her to every parent that wants to see their child develop extremely fast and come home with so much joy and happiness.

Lorraine is also a great communicator and very transparent.

Outstanding

My son has been attending early morning sessions with Lorraine for nearly 2 years. Lorraine has been outstanding; she has helped him with potty training, having good morning routines and taking him to where he needs to be after being with her.
I was very worried about leaving him with a stranger but Lorraine is no stranger; she’s extended family. She’s so warm and welcoming but with the firm ‘no’ so he has boundaries. I am very happy.

Outstanding care

5 stars

My son has attended the morning sessions with Lorraine for 2 years now. She has been the best find ever. Every morning my 3 year old has the best start to his day. The setting and nurturing of children is outstanding. Lorraine takes pride in giving every child the best educational and happy experience you could ask for. We would highly recommend Lorraine to anyone looking for a childminder.

Outstanding childminder

5 stars

When moving to the area I was so worried about finding a childminder for breakfast and after school care. I had never left my eight year old with anyone that weren’t family! I came across Lorraine and the minute I met her and visited her provision I knew my child was going to be happy and cared for. As time has gone on my child is not just safe and happy she is part of a new family. She is always eager to go there and never wants to come home! Lorraine joins in with her sassy dances and supports her with her homework. She knows my daughter inside out. She has been a shoulder to cry on for the both of us at times. As an early years lead for an outstanding academy I know what to expect and even though my child has long lived her early year stage the activities she offers the younger children and the love she shows is phenomenal. I couldn’t ever imagine my child being with another childminder. A review will never be able to say how amazing this woman is and the care she offers!!!

Best Childminder Ever!!

5 stars

I've been sending my daughter Aaliyah-Rose for 4 months now and how quickly she admitted to the environment was comforting
Aaliyah took to Lorraine very quickly in the settling and has been very happy in her care. She always has positive things to say when collecting her and enjoys it so much she doesn't wanna leave !!
You can tell she enjoys and loves everyday attending and you can also tell Lorraine really cares about all the children in her care. It's extremely reassuring as a parent to know that your child is not only in good hands but also very happy.
I've watched my daughter learn so many new things from her and she always does so many activities and outings with them; lots of art and crafts and time outdoors when the weather conditions are up to standard. It’s lovely receiving progress feedback from her via the daily diary and the monthly written reports and photographs.
We have built a fantastic relationship and see her as part of the family, although its been a short time I really can't speak highly enough of her. I would recommend her to anyone and you would be making a big mistake not getting in touch.
