About Me
Learn & Explore
Hi I’m Laura. I am a qualified teacher, experienced early years practitioner and mum of three. I have a deep love of books (both reading for myself and to my children) and whether at work or at home, have always looked for creative ways of bringing stories to life.
Group Description
A high quality early years group with a fun, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The aim of the group is to build a love of books from a young age, explore and develop areas of the foundation stage curriculum such as communication and language, physical development and personal social and emotional development. It provides a wonderful opportunity for parents/caregivers to have some quality bonding time with their child and is also is a great place to meet other parents and children, socialise and have some fun!

Baby Corner
My regular weekly Baby Corner sessions are held at St Timothy’s Church on Monday mornings and St Vincent's Church on Thursday mornings during term time.
Suitable for babies up to around 18 months.
A relaxed and welcoming parent and baby session.
Each week has a different theme which we will explore through simple books, songs, rhymes, actions, sensory play and toys.
An hour session with half an hour structured/led by me followed by 30 minutes for the babies to explore the sensory items while the grown-ups relax with a hot drink and have a chat!
