Carly

OUTSTANDING!!!

My daughter has been going to Carly since September 2023. Being a new mum, I was incredibly anxious about going back to work and leaving my baby girl. However, Carly ensured that it was a smooth transition and would communicate with me with updates of how my baby was doing throughout the day, which made being back at work a little easier. This is just a snippet of the fantastic service that Carly provides and I've never been happier! Thank you Carly 😊

Ahhh thankyou so so much xx

Exceptional care

Carly provided childminding service to me for just under 4 years. Everyday I was greeted warmly and my child was happy to go in. Never any tears. Carly provided updates and photos of my child and especially in those first few weeks when I was worried it put my mind at rest. There was always different activities and themes to keep children occupied and active. Everything was always clean and children were taught good hygiene skills. She encouraged a range of food which my child would not necessarily try at home. My child left there knowing basic school skills like numbers, letters how to dress herself etc and Carly made sure to update me on their progress and the final year before my daughter started school she worked hard to make sure my child had the basic skills and knowledge to start school. I always felt my child was safe and happy and the only tears we had is when she had to start school and we had to leave.

Ahhhh so so lovely thankyou for writing a review. It means the world xx

Amazing

Carly is the childminder that every parent needs!
For my first child I was fortunate enough to not need childcare and so second time round looking for childcare for my twins was quite overwhelming. I messaged carly and she explained how everything worked. She arranged for me to visit her home, prior to me signing up or agreeing to anything. I instantly just felt such warmth. All the children seemed so happy and Carly just had such a lovely warm feel about her, which without her even realising gave me the reassurance I needed that going back to work was going to be fine.

Carly is amazing with my Twins - who started going to her at 18months and are now age 2. She set up a lovely little WhatsApp group, for me, my partner and Carly to share pictures of them throughout the day. My twins are 2 completely different characters and she is able to adapt to both of their personalities and needs. She is approachable and always gives us a lovely handover of what they got up to at the end of each session. My twins did not take long to settle in her care and they often say her name on days that they do not go to her. she does such lovely craft activities with them and has taught them to sign - which I am amazed by. I Would definitely recommend Carly to any parent looking for childcare.

Amazing!

Our daughter has been going to Carly since Sept last year when she was 11 months, and she loves it. She settled in really quickly, loves Carly, her boys and the other children and the activities that they do. I love getting updates and pictures of what she has been up to through the day. Her development since going has also been great, she's learned a couple of bits of sign like thank you/please/sorry. I definitely feel happy and safe to leave my baby with Carly each day.

Amazing!

Carly came to the rescue when I was at breaking point with trying to find a childminder. My daughter was 18 months when she started with Carly. With the lockdown, her prematurity and breastfeeding she was extremely attached to me. After two failed attempts with other childminders I was very hesitant and apprehensive, but after explaining to Carly the challenges we were having she worked with me to create a settling in plan that I felt comfortable with. Carly was extremely patient and supportive. She even gave me the confidence to stop breastfeeding. Her flexibility and understanding has continued throughout our time with her.

Fast forward almost a year, my daughter absolutely loves it there. She has built an amazing bond with Carly, her sons and her assistants. She is developing really well and achieving her milestones. We are kepted updated with her achievements and the goals Carly has set for her. Carly always plans different activities for the children that allows them to learn, explore and use their creativity. My daughter always has so much fun and comes home with pictures, and even home made gifts.

I can't recommend Carly enough!
