I would recommend Lorraine unreservedly to any prospective parents and would agree with all the above reviews. I have a very challenging job in a local education authority and having Lorraine to care for my children made going back to work far less stressful as I knew that they were always happy and enjoying their day. Lorraine was my daughter's full time Childminder for 3 years, starting at age 6 months until she started nursery. Lorraine then collected her after nursery and the following year after school. When our son was born Lorraine also looked after him from the age of 8 months. Lorraine was brilliant with both children, meeting all of their needs at every stage of their development. They are quite different characters but it was clear that they both felt very happy, loved and safe in her care. Lorraine is very hardworking and highly professional and never had a day off sick during all the years she looked after my children.
My children are at school now but still see Lorraine regularly on Hampstead Heath and they are always so happy to have a catch up and a hug. One of the friends my daughter made during her time with Lorraine is still her best friend now, despite them being at different schools, and they often reminisce about happy times at Lorraine's house and the trips they enjoyed.
