My little girl has been going to Lorraine and David since she was 10 months old, she is now due to start school in September but, will continue to stay with Lorraine before and after school - (we had the option to take her to the before and after school club that the school provide but, I feel like they have developed a lovely bond and I want that to continue for as long as it can).

At first I was very nervous about returning to work and leaving her with people I didn’t really know! (It’s very scary picking people to look after your children off a website!!) However, both Lorraine and David were very welcoming and friendly – they offered settling in days/hours where I could take my baby for a couple of hours a week to get her ready for when I returned to work.

During her time in their care, my little girl has come on amazingly!! She was holding a pen correctly and writing her name before she was 3 years old! She has always been way above her milestones and I do hand on heart think that Lorraine and David have done the majority of this; they really are real life ‘Mary Poppins’.

Lorraine provides a daily record of what activities they do every day – this also includes ‘feeds’, ‘toileting’ and ‘sleeps’ (all very important when they are looking after your little one, and its everything a Mum and Dad want to know). She sends pictures throughout the day to show that they are having fun and learning something new – I always love seeing these and don’t feel like I’m missing out too much either as I can talk to my little girl when I pick her up about all the things she’s been doing!

I honestly cannot recommend this couple enough! If you are in the area and Lorraine has availability, book in for a chat and have a look for yourself, you will not be disappointed.
