My Summary
About Me
Hi, I am Laura. I have two children aged 12 and 6. I live in Brunswick, Newcastle upon Tyne. I am ofsted registered and currently enjoying being a childminder. I am passionate about children and love every aspect of childcare.I am fun loving, imaginative and very caring. Your child's safety and well being is of utmost importance to me and I make every effort to be flexible and listen to your needs and the needs of your child.
I provide a range of activities, including cooking, crafts, role play, sand and water, messy play and more. I involve children in the choice of activities and arrange fun outings. I ensure children play outdoors as they wish and I provide healthy nutritious meals.
I have a very homely and clean 3 bedroom house with lots of toys and equipment for all ages of children ( I make very good use of the toy library!!). I also have a lovely flat, secure and spacious garden, which will be accessible to children as they wish!
** I am able to get government funding for free 2 year old places (for eligible parents). This means that if you meet certain criteria I am able to take 2 year olds for free. I can also offer a free 15/ 30 hrs for 3 year olds (instead of nursery). This may especially help parents who work shifts or who would prefer for their child to stay with a childminder rather than nursery school. If you have any questions about this please ask. It is a relatively new proposal.

My daughter has been going to Laura's full time for 15 months now. She absolutely loves going and calls her "My Laura". Care is in a lovely homely environment with lots of indoor and outdoor play. They go on lots of excursions incl local soft play, parks and museums.
Laura is very flexible if my hours change or my daughter needs to stay later with very short notice. My daughter has gained lots of confidence and interacts well with other children; her speech has come on great too.
I love the daily diaries that Laura gives us, keeps me updated with what they've been up to each day.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura to other parents.
