My son has been with Lorraine for about 18months. He’s come up leaps and bounds since being with Lorraine. She’s always been incredibly accommodating with us and our little one adores her. He comes home with lots of handmade crafts and we get lots of updates throughout the day on what he’s up too- which is great. We are beyond pleased we chose Lorraine as our sons childminder and will miss her so much come January when my child starts nursery.

I'll miss my Teddy ....he's a wee lamb ..thank you for the lovely comment ❤️ it's been my absolute pleasure ❤️
We contacted Lorraine for some emergency childminding, and she was very accommodating. She welcomed our 5-months old son to her lovely home-based fairyland, with gnomes and a garden playground. The setting was amazing, but her pedagogical approach is outshining the most! Every day in the car, when I was picking him up, he was mumbling songs in excitement and happiness. Additionally, we had regular feedback daily and some really lovely photos, some of which we even framed. Lorraine, a huge thank you for everything!!!

Lorraine contacted me after a desperate plea for help. I’m so glad I chose to send my daughter to her. She has had a wonderful time when she has been there and Lorraine has been a great person for us both. She lives for kids and always keeps me up to date with what they are up to. She has been really helpful and flexible to accommodate our needs to cover my work. Thank you Lorraine. It means the world.

Thank you so much .... your daughter is a total credit to you and a pleasure to have in my childminding setting.
She's a sweetheart and so helpful and polite....she's welcome here anytime ❤️
We love Lorraine, my son settled in very well with Lorraine and her other cubs, as a parent she kept me up to date on his development anything that she felt I needed to know about my son or her services. My son adores Lorraine, and I consider her a fantastic childminder, I would highly recommend Lorraine and her service.
