My Summary
About Me
I am a registered childminder in New Barnet EN4 area. I live in a three bedroom house, close to Livingstone School, with an extra large closed off garden which is geared towards outdoor learning, gardening activities, and most importantly lots and lots of fun! I provide professional home from home childcare and early education, looking after small groups of children of all ages. Regular outings to parks and playgroups are part of my weekly routine. Previously I worked as a scale 5 Teaching Assistant, for ten years, covering Early Years to Year 6, which I loved. However, I decided to spend more time with my children. I have been childminding for 5 years now and have enjoyed every minute of it.

I currently hold a valid CRB and First Aid certificate.
My Qualifications
CACHE Level 2 in Childcare,Learning and Development. Level 3 Higher Teaching Assistant and a Level 3 diploma in Home Base Childcare.

Caroline is the best childminder you could ask for. She was such an important person in my twins' life for over 2 years. For my twins, it was like going from home to home. She was so attentive to their needs and even their development. Caroline's communication, her attention, and her love made my twins feel safe, happy, and loved. They were always so happy to spend the days with her. We couldn't have asked for a better childminder.

Caroline has been looking after our daughter for about 8 months now. She is entirely reliable, responsive and seems to have a very good understanding of our child and a beautiful relationship with her. Caroline seems to love her job and will go the extra mile to ensure she gets to know the children well, and will be very flexible to accommodate their developing needs. We feel that while she provides a lovely home away from home, she also takes the children to different playgroups and activities so they never seem to have a dull moment. We feel very lucky to have found Caroline- she is worth her weight in gold!

Caroline has been amazing for my daughter and such a great help. It is clear that she thoroughly cares about my daughter and has done since the first day she started. She has always been great at communicating and letting me know how she is getting on. I can tell that my daughter is so well cared for, loves being there and always has fun when she is there.

Caroline is everything you can wish for in a childminder. My son cant wait to get out of the house in the morning to go to "carol" i.e. Caroline. Caroline is a very loving and caring childminder. She is very attentive to my sons needs and she communicates with us very well. She offers a very warm and fun environment and I can not say enough how grateful we are that we have found her. I can't recommend her enough.

Caroline is everything we wanted in a childminder and worth her weight in gold. I have never left my child with anyone so when needing child care, I was highly anxious. Finding Caroline put my mind at ease. Caroline is amazing, she is very child centred and so attentive and in tune to my child's needs and can spot when he's becoming hungry, thirsty, tired etc. I really value that in a care provider.
The environment is really geared up for children. She has a big garden filled with lots of outdoor toys including a mud kitchen. Caroline really values play in nature and adopts this approach to help improve all aspects of child development.
