"Hello I'm Laura and I love working in a childcare environment. I have had 9 years childcare experience that include working in babies toddler and pre school room. I love making the day fun and exciting and seeing their little faces light up when they are having fun. I started to like cooking during lockdown and I love making meals that children eat and enjoy. I like working at Little Beans as they have made me feel very welcomed and I look forward to the rest of my time there!”
