My name is Lauren and I am a registered childminder in HODGE LEA I have 2 children of my own, a girl aged 3 and a boy ages 1. I live with my partner and our children. I offer a home from home setting. During your child’s time in my setting I will offer lots of different fun activities like messy play, baking, games, story time, singing and dancing and much more. I am a firm believer that a child learns through play and they will be given lots of opportunity to do this. I have lots of age appropriate toys, books, games and puzzles. I also have a enclosed outside area with lots of different activities to be done outside. We go on regular outings to the local parks, woods, library, soft play, stay and play groups and trips by bus and train, we all know how much of an adventure children find using public transport. I have worked in a school and nursery settings over the last 8 years. I have extensive experience working with children ages from 5 months to 7 years
