Hi my name is Louise and I offer a home from home environment for your children. A caring,  loving and educational setting where your little ones can feel safe and part of an extended family.
 With over 28 years of childcare experience, including two children of my own, one a teacher in an SEN school and the other teaching Vietnamese children English (in Vietnam) They both took up careers in education having been inspired by all the lovely children.
