What we do
My name is Lorena, I am a childminder and mother of one. I care for children in my modest home, where I live with my husband, son and dog.
I aim to provide a home-away-from-home experience for your child and work in partnership with you to meet their needs. I look after my son at the same time as other children, and like any parent I want the best for him, as well as for the children I care for. Ultimately I want you to have the peace of mind that your little one is being cared for with all the tender care and respect that they would receive at home.
I am registered with CIW to care for up to 7 children, but to keep service personal, I keep these numbers small. I provide a day service and a pick up service from local schools.
