Carolina

Forever Greatful

Carolina is an absolutely wonderful childminder and I will be forever greatful for the care that she provided my daughter.

Elena is my first child, so finding and sourcing the right person to care for her was off course, a nervous time with a world full of different options. Once we met Carolina, we knew straight away that she was the right person to support us with the care of Elena whilst I transitioned myself back into work.

Elena went to Carolina’s from 9 months old and graduated at 3 years old ready for a new chapter at per-school. Carolina paid attention to all aspects of Elena’s life, from learning and growing at all the correct stages. She helped with her development, as well and ensuring she ate well and was in a positive routine.

Carolina stayed in touch regularly, sending photo updates and ensure a regular handover always took place.

Elena throughly enjoyed going to Carolina’s house, and regularly became excited at the thought of her days there.

Carolina home settling is welcoming, safe and family orientated, with a variety of different weekly activities provided for the children to enjoy.

Carolina assisted with Elena’s potty training and also worked with me at all stages of change throughout Elena’s time with her.

I honestly couldn’t recommend Carolina enough.

Excellent Childminder, Excellent Care

Like most first time mums who had to go back to work I was very nervous about leaving my child. I knew that I wanted my son Ali to be in a family/home setting and visited multiple childminder's settings before I decided to go with Karolina, and I can say with confidence and without exaggaration that this was one of the best decisions I have made in life.

The moment we stepped in at her home with my son, (9months) for the first time, we instantly felt welcome, Ali was smiling and felt relaxed. Karolina's home was spotless clean.

For the past nearly 3 years, Ali developed immensly at her care. She encourages age appropriate activities for the kids, and her approach is tailored for each kid.

Karolina has great attention to detail, she has great routine for the kids, she takes them to playgroups, softplay, library and parks. She send lovely pics during the day and very happy to take extra time to talk through child's development, questions and concerns.

Knowing Karolina was one of the main reasons I have a second baby now :) knowing there is someone who I can trust my babies. Now my son started a preschool and little daughter is attenting her setting and she loves it there too.

I would whole heartefly reccomend Karolina's services to anyone.

Excellent Childminder - 10/10****

Our son has been with Karolina from 18 month to 3 years old. It is sad to see our boy leaving but we have started with our daughter as well, so very glad to continue to use Karolina’s services.

Karolina is a fantastic childminder with great care and love for children she looks after. She was very attentive for our son’s development and used games, techniques and methods to help him learn all the skills as he grew. She has kept us informed on every detail as well and gave us tips on what to do at home as well. Great pictures & videos everyday which showed us our little boys’ activities. Her setting is always spotless clean, lots of toys and books and a great calm atmosphere.

We couldn’t be happier with Karolina and again glad to say that we are not saying goodbye and happy to continue receiving the same great care with our daughter.

Exceeds expectations!

There are no words to express how grateful we are to have had the opportunity for our son to spend 2 years with Carolina! Leaving only to start reception Jack has grown and learnt so much more than I could have imagined! Carolina invested many hours teaching Jack emotional regulating skills and academics so that we more than are confident he will have an easier transition to reception year.

We consistently received feedback on his progress, development and information about all stages of his learning. All his education and progress’s been well documented and effectively communicated with us.

Carolina has proven to be patience, understanding, nurturing and reliable!

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this amazing childminder!

Excellent childminder!

My son has been looked after by Karolina since he was 20 months old and has recently moved to a preschool at 3 years old. I cannot thank Karolina enough. Not once has she let us down.

Karolina’s setting is calm and inviting, filled with many toys that encourage open ended creative play. She plans activities around the interests and developmental milestones of each child helping them to learn through play.

Everything is taken care of; lots of singing and reading, arts and crafts, regular photo and video updates so we get to see all the fun things that V has been up to each day together with his friends. The children spend a lot of time outdoors in her garden, parks and canal walks. My son also enjoyed going to the library, toddler groups and softplay too.
Karolina celebrates birthdays and other occasions with the kids, and they enjoy the party food, singing and dancing.

At drop off and pick up every day, Karolina was always available to chat through any concerns that I might have had regarding my son, as well as open to discuss any general queries that I might have had regarding development etc.
Karolina offers great flexibility too, which is perfect for us as schedules can change at relatively short notice.

V loved it there, he was engaged, he learned lots and he developed into a polite, caring, intelligent little boy.
If you are looking for a childminder I can not recommend Karolina strongly enough. My son still asks to go to Karolina’s!
