Lorna has been looking after my 2 and half year old daughter since she was 9 months old and has developed a close relationship and very strong bond with her. She currently cares for 2 children and has a vacancy available. Lorna is warm and engaging with the children in her care whilst creating clear boundaries. She places a lot of importance on communication and has invested her time in getting to know our family and discussing my daughter's individual needs and behaviours, encouraging us to work together at various stages of development. With Lorna's support my daughter has developed into an independent, happy and confident child. Lorna has progressed her self-care skills and her physical and emotional development. She is consistent in always communicating progress to me so that we can work together on developing the same skills at home. She is also very quick at identifying and flagging up areas that may need attention. Lorna has many years experience with children and a wealth of knowledge of early years development along with a huge amount of energy and a strong sense of fun. She offers a stimulating secure and caring environment in which the children sing and dance, paint and draw, cook and play. She has a nice garden and encourages lots of outdoor play. They go out daily to the park, the library and to various soft play and play groups. My daughter loves the time she spends with Lorna, always coming home full of excitement about her day. I really would recommend her business as a great option for developmental childcare. She is located in East Dulwich near the top of Barry Road, close to Dulwich Library. Lorna Barley: 07958 363319
