About Me

My name is Louise Turner and I am 34 years old. I am GOOD Ofsted registered Childminder and a married Mum of three amazing children, ages six and Nine. I live on London Road, Rainham where my setting is based. We are a Non Smoking Household and up to date with all Covid-19 vaccinations including boosters. We share our home with two child friendly cats, Roger and Freddy.

I hold qualifications in Level 3 Homebased Childcare, I'm Paediatric First Aid Trained, Ofsted Registered and a Childcare member, holding Public Liability Insurance. I am SENCO trained. I am registered with Kinderly, providing a platform that keeps you in touch with what your little one has been up to weekly!

I am offering a fun, interactive and reliable Childcare service, for busy parents and a place for children to play, learn and explore at a Home from Home setting. I review my prices to keep them competitive to help parents afford the ever increasing cost of living whilst providing lunch, snacks and drinks. I accept all funding options for 15 and 30 hours. Tax Free Childcare and Universal Credit.

I provide childcare for a maximum of 3 children at any one time. This ensures im able to devote my time equally to each child. Supporting your child to develop their existing learning, give them the confidence to be school ready and the head start every child would benefit from.

I have a Full clean Driving Licence and a Large Vehicle for planned days out. My setting has a large Indoor space with designated areas for specific interactive play and learning. A large Outdoor space that includes Playhouses and aquaplay. In the summer there is also a Swimming Pool for the children to enjoy when the weather has them hot and bothered.

My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
14 July 2023
Children benefit from a caring atmosphere and well-planned learning experiences in this setting. The childminder creates a nurturing environment where children feel safe and supported. An effective curriculum promotes development across all learning areas, with high expectations for all children, including those with special educational needs. Strong partnerships with parents ensure consistent progress. However, the childminder could improve confidence in referring children to other professionals when needed.

Lou is the best

5 stars

I cant recommend Lou enough, she has been fantastic in helping my daughter settle. Since she has started my daughter has thrived and developed so much, she thoroughly enjoys going to Lou's care and is always excited when she sees her. My daughter was born very premature so I was really worried in taking the step of putting her into a childminder however my mind was immediately put at rest. I made the best decision with choosing Lou as she has been so supportive and caring every step of the way. Lou keeps you updated each week on kindle with all the activities your child has been up to along with the progress on developing skills / milestones. She is also always happy to respond to any messages and calls and is very flexible to accommodate. Lou is simply the best and I will be forever grateful for finding her.

Excellent childminder

5 stars

My daughter started at LouLou’s little ones when she was only 14 months old and she has been thriving ever since. Lou is amazing with my daughter and it clearly shows as my daughter even asks me if she can go on the weekend haha. I receive weekly observations and updates which explains activities they have done that week and new milestones she has learnt/met. It’s a home from home setting and I would definitely recommend Lou.

Fantastic

5 stars

We are so happy we chose Loulous Little Ones for our son. He is always so happy in the mornings when we drop him off and when we pick him up we can tell he's had lots of fun. This shows in the weekly observations she sends us. He has come on so much since starting there and she's amazing with him which we also see at drop off and pick ups. He absolutely loves being there! We know he will continue to thrive there and we would definitely recommend her to anyone thinking of using a childminder!

Brilliant!

5 stars

Lou has looked after my twins over the last several months. They have come on leaps and bounds since being with her and they have such a good time while their there, they always look so happy when I pick them up and are eager to go in when arriving in the morning. Myself and my twins will miss going to Lou’s and would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Loved it

5 stars

We could not have been more grateful to have found LouLouslittleones! Our daughter has had the best time since the very first day. Louise is very warm and welcoming to each of the children. Since staying at Lou, our daughter has really developed and thrived. She’s always really looking forward to the days she’s due to go to Lou and that to a parents says a lot. 😌

Thank you very much Lou! You have made the move from London to Gillingham so much smoother.

Fantastic

5 stars

After having a bad experience with a previous child-minder, Lou managed to restore my faith! I am a first time mum and I was going back to work after maternity leave to a brand new role. Lou was so accommodating when it came to the settling in sessions and she really put my mind at rest so that I could focus on getting back into the routine of going to work everyday. My little girl settled really well and I just felt comfortable leaving her there. She was absolutley thriving there and seemed to be having lots of fun doing things that supported her development. The setting was lovely and she was given nutritious food. I also really liked that she uses the Kindlery app to record little bits from my daughters day with photos and videos. We had a really great experience using Lou and I would highly recommend! we miss you and the kids Lou! XX

Amazing!!

5 stars

Being first time parents,we were extremely nervous about putting our son into childcare. However, as soon as we met Lou she completely put our minds at ease. She was friendly and welcoming at the initial meetings and her home was interactive and inviting for our son. Lou presented us with a portfolio of certificates and childcare information and left no stone unturned. Our son was born during the pandemic so he is very clingy to mum and dad, one month in with Lou his confidence has skyrocketed and his personality is shining through. We cannot recommend Lou enough!

Fun, Flexible and Friendly!

5 stars

Lou childminds for my Little boy who is nearly 3. He loves going there any playing with the toys - and there are so many toys!
Lou is really approachable and friendly; not only have I found a great childminder bug I’ve gained a friend too.
She’s flexible with times as well, so if I’m running a bit late, it’s never a problem.
My son has really thrived since she’d looked after him, his confidence has come in leaps and bounds too.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring childminder.
