Our son started with Carol at 8 months and to me as first-time mum, she very quickly settled my anxiety and nervousness about going back to work & leaving my son behind as he almost instantly took to her and settled-in and pretty soon started to look forward to the days with Carol!

Fast forward a year and he has blossomed into a curious and independent boy who loves meeting and socialising with other kids.
Top most liked/valued attributes of Carol:
1. Simply put; Carol is just very good with the little ones; she is warm, calm, kind but firm and structured and organised; giving the kids the perfect environment to feel at home and learn.
2. She magically somehow got my VERY fussy little man to eat!? Still not sure how, but I knew at least during the week he is going to be getting his fruit&veg in at Carol’s!
3. Our daily notes! I just loved reading what they got up to at Carol’s every day. The weekly program she follows means they do something outside every day (eg music classes, stay and play or park) so the little ones get plenty of stimulation
4. Very reliable - Carol was just a constant in our lives; always there, always ready, always knew what to do!
5. Accommodating/compassionate. Carol was always supportive and happy to chat about the various choices & dilemmas you are faced with as a parent (eg - dummy/not, trying out different foods during weaning, when to drop the bottle feeds, bedtime routines etc.) and I never felt pressured to adopt a choice but she was always willing to chat and share her experiences. Meant I could discuss my options with someone who also knows my son, and ultimately get support for whatever decision we make.
