Carol has been everything I hoped for in a childminder, and so much more, and I am grateful every day that she provides such a wonderful environment for my daughter that has allowed her to grow and develop so well over the last four years and is continuing to do so. Carol provides a superb learning environment, that is also a home for home. She is nurturing, lovely and caring, as well as very professional, truly wanting the best for the children, and supporting them in their personal growth. I enjoy the daily updates within my daughter’s diary and verbally at handover, the regular batches of photos as well as the routine more formal assessments of my daughter’s progress against her milestones. My daughter loves Carol to bits and enjoys every moment when she’s there. It is hugely reassuming to know my daughter in so happy, settled and content with Carol. I couldn’t ask for more.

Carol has looked after my daughter since she was 6 months old and all I can say is that my daughter has come along leaps and bounds since being with her 1 year on. She sees carols place as a home from home and most of the time just runs in and doesn’t say goodbye which gives me joy knowing my daughter loves being there. Carol works with you and will give advice where required and is so patient with all of the children. I would not want anyone else looking after my daughter and I would highly recommend carols services.

My daughter is a full of energy and enthusiasm for everything she does, highly talkative, and can be exceptionally strong willed and fiercely independent, particularly when tired. I therefore looked for a special childminder who would keep her safe with clear boundaries, provide a rich environment to support her development and the love she needs in my absence. Carol provides all this and much, much more. She has a deep professional knowledge and understands my daughter’s development needs and how best to meet these, she successfully balances a loving approach, with clear boundaries and handles my daughter’s spirited nature very effectively. When my daughter’s behaviour has been particularly challenging, Carol has kindly agreed to meetings in the evenings where she has provided a calm and professional assessment of the situation and where we have jointly agreed strategies and the way forward. I am extremely happy with the outstanding childminding Carol has provided for my daughter and have no reservations whatsoever in recommending her at the highest level.

Carol has provided 6 years of unparalled childcare for our daughter and I have to say we feel lucky to have found her. She has provided a home from home for our daughter who has benefitted enormously in terms of her development. At the same time she's been able to talk easily to the us about our daughters development and pass on anything she knows that will interest or concern her. This is a skill sometimes overlooked in childcare! Overall, a really impressive childminder and one we would never hesitate to recommend.

Carol is an absolutely amazing outstanding childminder. Nothing is ever to much trouble for Carol and the children she cares for are adored by her and the children love carol like a family member. Carol can manage all situations extremely well and deals with challenges with no problem. Carol communicates well with me at every stage of my daughters development and is not reserved when it comes to telling me if my daughter has been challenging or if she has concerns. Nothing is too much trouble. Carol was so well organised during the difficult COVID periods and ensured she had a safe environment when our children returned to her care. Carol has lovely grown up children of her own who also enjoy the children being around, her home is well organised, welcoming and fun for the children and recently has had a lovely new extension built to accommodate more toys and resources. I trust carol in every aspect of my daughters life and would not look anywhere else. Practically perfect on every way! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING
