Carla was a God sent gift to my family

We moved to Dunmow a few months ago and I painstakingly looked for a childminder who could help me with my little girl, Bridget (18 month-old). I had my own personal reasons for being very thorough when deciding who would be helping me with my little one.

I instantly felt Carla was the right person for us. She was very communicative and professional from the start.

We met her, and her place is LOVELY - I knew that Bridget would have a fantastic time there. And I have been proven right.

Carla is extremely hard-working and kind. And her family is just gorgeous.
Bridget is thriving.

I wish I could leave 10 stars. ;-)
