Ravensworth based Laura's Childminding celebrated their fifth anniversary last weekend.

Laura Stephenson and her mum Judith organised a water party for the children they care for. Their parents will be treated to an evening out next weekend.

Started in 2007, the business has grown steadily since, and was rated "Outstanding" at the last OFSTED inspection. Laura said she "couldn't think of anything I would rather be doing, or a better job".
