“I've been lucky to have Laura help out with ad-hoc childcare for my two children, and I honestly couldn't recommend her more. She has a natural way of putting kids at ease and always has something creative and engaging going on – she loves a fun, messy craft table. She’s brilliant at tuning-in to what they need and has a brilliant instinct for turning tricky situations around. She’s great at staying calm and flexible under pressure and doesn’t get flustered by tears or tantrums. Laura is not only fantastic with children but also genuinely kind, friendly, and reliable. Any family would be lucky to have her”

“Laura has supported us with our 6 year old daughter since the start of 2025. Our daughter has autism and global delay so at times it can be a challenge to meet her needs - Laura has really gone above and beyond to provide her an accommodating, educational and fun space. We feel 100% confident leaving her in Laura’s more than capable hands reassured that our daughter will have a great time whilst above all being completely safe.”

“Laura looked after our son two days a week over the summer holidays and he had a brilliant time. She did loads of fun activities with him - crabbing, swimming at the pool and in the sea, crafts, baking, trips to Wyvernwood and soft play. Her communication was excellent throughout, telling us the weekly plan in advance and sending pictures and location pins during the day. I loved the thoughtful touches that made it special for him, like taking his figures to the beach to play with on the sandcastle they built together. Laura really tuned into his interests, energy levels and moods, adapting to meet him where he was. She has a lovely way with kids - talking to them as equals. She was brilliant at drawing him out when he was shy and encouraging his independence, which gave his confidence a real boost.”

“Laura has a warm, nurturing nature that creates a safe and happy environment where my kids feel at ease. She has provided wonderful support for my three kids and they always really look forward to seeing her. I genuinely couldn’t be more pleased with the care, attention, and encouragement Laura provides. I’m so impressed with her approach, which aims to really get to know each child and think about their strengths. She’s such a champion of creativity and I think my kids grow in confidence when they are with her. I appreciate her thoughtful preparation for the day and ease in communication.”
