About Me
I'm an Ofsted Registered Childminder and have been open since 2018 I had my last Ofsted inspection in August 2021 and rated as Good.
I live in West Molesey and I run a larger setting with an assistant, enabling us to offer larger numbers while maintaining a close-nit home from home setting, to meet every individual child’s needs.
My setting is a free-flow, open-plan chalet bungalow, comprising of a dedicated fun playroom and open access to outdoor play in all weathers. Children can select from a range of toys at all times to satisfy their play needs, including soft play, music, slide, wendy house, small world and much more.
We enjoy crafting and creating, and tailor this to events that are taking place in the world such as Remembrance day, to the Olympics, and we take every opportunity to include any child’s culture into the crafts we all make.
We spend a lot of time outside, we often bring the inside out for messy play opportunities, and also snack time. Outings are both at local parks and the riverside, as well as places like Wisley and Hampton Court.
Meals and snacks are provided, and I ensure all dietary requirements and allergies are catered for. We offer a warm, home-cooked meal for lunch and a light tea in the afternoon.
My Experience
I have over 25 years experience in childcare and have an NNEB diploma in childcare, I have worked in a nursery and as a nanny and have experience with young babies, I absolutely love my job and and though my experience have helped hard to settled children, those with dietary requirements and fussy eaters.

Only way to describe Laur & Rob is LIQUID GOLD! After having an extremely underwhelmimg childminder I came to Laura & Rob with a heavy heart. They soon changed that! My baby comes home warm, happy and usually sings for about half an hour. The children have a safe & loving setting. The house is beautifully maintained. You can see from the photos just how happy the children are. Laura & Rob spend time teaching the children about the outside world using creative and fun activities. There dog Mason is so gentle and loving. My son is obsessed with him. I am lucky to have found them and cannot wait to see Vins development. Thank you Laura & Rob for offering my son the things I wouldnt be able too at home and helping him grow into a well rounded human being X

We are so happy with the care our daughter gets with Laura and Rob, their home is full of love and laughter and is a really special place for children to play and learn together. Our daughter talks about her time at Laura and Rob’s all weekend which highlights what fun she has there. The communication we receive is excellent, always knowing exactly what the children are up to and what they have eaten. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend this setting

Laura and Rob have been wonderful over the past 6 months. My daughter is always excited to spend the day with them and their support and caring nature has made it much easier for me to return to work. They provide a very caring, supportive and fun home-from-home environment which is exactly why I was looking for. Their communication is excellent and the children have a wide variety of activities during the day, including plenty of time outside. I would highly recommend Laura and Rob for anyone looking for a reliable and caring childminder. Thank you for everything that you do.

I really cannot recommend Laura and Rob enough. From the moment we went to visit the setting my husband and I just knew we wanted to send our son to them. Laura and Rob are so welcoming, warm, friendly, caring and accommodating. The setting is absolutely what we were looking for with a really lovely home from home feel. My son absolutely adores his time there with Laura, Rob and the other children, they always have so much fun and he has come on so well with his speech/social skills since being with them. The communication we receive is fantastic too, we’re always kept up to date with what they have been up to each day and sent daily photos. Very pleased and would highly recommend.
