An absolute gem!
Laura looked after my 9 month old daughter during a pretty hectic time -- we were between moving countries and things were a little all over the place. I really wanted to find someone who could provide a flexible but stable and nurturing environment. As a first time mum I was also naturally anxious leaving the little once alone for half a day for the first time.
I needn't have worried.
From the first moment, Laura was extremely reassuring and so obviously great with kids. She went out of her way to answer any questions I had, and to accommodate any unexpected hours. All the kids in her care seemed very happy, and there were always fun and stimulating activities planned for them. Lots of outdoor playtime and park time etc.
Our girl was always calm and happy when being dropped off -- a sure sign she enjoyed her stays as she would certainly find a way to let us know if she didn't like being there!! :D I was updated throughout the day and it was clear she got plenty of one-on-one attention.
I can't recommend Laura enough. I feel very lucky we found her, and would certainly have continued coming here if we were staying in the area.
Thank you Laura for looking after our precious girl so well!
