Recommended Posts

Hello, I?m posting a recommendation for our current childminder Lorna Barley who has availability for another child and a new playmate for our daughter.


Lorna is kind and our little girl is thriving in her care.


She?s also OFSTED registered and has looked after many children over the years.


She?s based near St Anthony? Primary School and you can contact her on 07958 363319.

I?m happy to provide a reference too.

Lorna has been looking after our 2 year old daughter since she was 10 months old and has developed a close relationship and strong bond with her.


Lorna is warm and engaging with the children in her care whilst creating clear boundaries. She encouraging us to work together at various stages of development, she always communicate progress to us so we can work together on progressing the same skills at home. She is 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 huge amount of energy and strong sense of fun. Out daughter loves the time she spends with her. I really would recommend her setting.

I want to add to the recommendations for Lorna. Our daughter has been going to Lorna's for a year now - she started there age 10 months. She loved it there from day one! Lorna has a great relationship with the children and our daughter always looks forward to going over in the morning.


Lorna does a whole range of activities: arts and crafts, planting flowers, playing in the garden, going to the library, visiting parks and playgroups, etc. She also provides healthy food for the children and imparts good manners (e.g. taking shoes off indoors). Our daughter is always learning new things at Lorna's.


Lorna is a very experienced childminder, and our daughter has benefited greatly from her setting. I can recommend her wholeheartedly.

    • Couldn't the sanctuary have taken the female as well? That's very sad 😭 
    • One of the main reasons these goslings don't survive is because once they leave their nest on the island, they are unable to return to it's safety because of the height of the artificial bank - it's basically a brick wall, with no natural slope.  So they & their parents are left to try to fend off predators either in the water or on the outer bank - literally sitting ducks. I think in the last 10 years I've only seen a handful of goslings survive to maturity, and that's with two broods per year, often six, eight, ten goslings per brood.  It's very sad, and just needs the council / parks to remove some bricks to create a more natural sloped bank so they can access the safety of the island. I've asked many times, and hoped some of the Gala "biodiversity" funds could be used, but to no avail.  There are signs all around the lake stating dogs should be on a lead, but many owners seem to miss them, and don't appear to be concerned that the wildfowl are visibly & audibly disturbed by their presence, or aware how much damage their dogs can do. A few years back a loose dog attacked a male Egyptian goose and injured it so badly that it had to be taken to a sanctuary. Egyptian geese mate for life, so the female has remained alone ever since.
    • I agree that selling items online can be a bit of a faff but the ebay app makes  it easier these days to put photos on, set a postage rate, descriptions, etc. I’ve been buying and selling on eBay for quite a while now and it can be hit and miss with the selling and it does take a bit of time, buying the packaging, taking it to the post office (which I use to send everything I sell) but it can be a way to make a bit of spare cash.  I sell bits on eBay for myself and for a charity I support. I’ve been selling bits on this forum for my charity but this is a bit hit and miss as well.   If the OP pms me maybe I might be able to help and sell her clothes for her (and me) 😀        
    • 80pc of the value comes from 20pc of the inventory. I'd suggest running through it and putting into 3 heaps: A - quality branded. Depending on how much there is in this category, you might then be able to find someone for a 'split the profits' offer.  C - un-sellable by charity (marked, damaged). To a "clothes by the KG" service. B - everything else. Donate to charity.
