My Summary
About Me
Thank you for considering Lara & The Little Ones for your childcare needs. My husband and I are proud parents to two wonderful children who attend a local primary school full-time, and nursery three days a week.
We moved to Lewes three years ago, and it has been an absolute joy raising our children here. In fact, it was the inspiring experience I had with my daughter's childminder that encouraged me to pursue a career in childcare. My goal is to create a home-from-home environment where children feel safe, secure, and thrive in their development.
My Experience
With over a decade of experience as an Early Years teacher in Hackney, combined with seven years as a Level 3 qualified Forest School Leader, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to childcare. Before becoming a teacher, I studied English at Exeter University and spent many holidays working as a nanny and Mother's Help, which further deepened my love for working with children.
My background in Early Years education aligns perfectly with the needs of a childminding setting. I am deeply passionate about the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and dedicated to helping every child reach their full potential. I use the Development Matters documents to carefully plan and assess the needs of each individual child, ensuring that they receive tailored support and opportunities for growth.
I strongly believe in continuous professional development and am committed to staying up-to-date with training to enhance my skills and practices.
At Lara & The Little Ones, I provide children with the opportunity to play and discover using natural, open-ended materials in a home-from-home setting. I believe in the power of sensory, heuristic, and natural play to inspire curiosity and learning. The choice to play indoors or outdoors is always available, whatever the weather!
Fostering secure attachments is a core value of mine. While a child's primary bond is with their parents or carers, my aim is to form a nurturing and supportive relationship to help them flourish. Building a strong partnership with families is essential, and I welcome open, honest communication. Your knowledge and wishes for your child will always be my first priority.
