My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder offering quality childcare in Watford.
I aim to provide a safe, secure environment for all children in my care with a fun, friendly atmosphere.
I endeavour to treat each child as an individual and tailor the care to their specific likes and needs.
I provide a home from home environment with a dedicated play room. I also have a large, enclosed, well equipped garden.
Weather permitting we go out daily to the library, parks, childminder groups and age appropriate activity mornings.
I also aim to have regular special outings esp during the school holidays
I believe that no one knows a child better than it's parents therefore the care of your child is discussed with you so that you can feel happy that your child is cared for in a manner in which you are comfortable.
Each child has a memory book to share their day with those at home.
Please call to discuss further and to arrange a visit.
My Experience
A degree educated accountant by trade I decided to re-train as a childminder after the birth of my daughter.
While at University I worked as a Learning Support Assistant for a primary school and therefore have extensive classroom experience. I have continued to stay in close contact with the school and work as a maths and english tutor. I am therefore familiar with the curriculum for older children and EYFS for younger children.
My Qualifications
I have a paediatric first aid qualification, and full CRB Check.
BA ( Hons) Accounting and Finance
Cache level 3 in home based childcare
Safeguarding certificate

Laura looked after my daughter from age 9 to 19 months and she has been amazing!
Lovely home from home setting which made going back to work so much easier.
There is plenty of communication with weekly update emails, menus and a verbal update daily
My daughter was always happy to go to Laura, full of smiles when we parted ways which is worth its weight in gold!
My family is relocating but we will miss Laura!
