Having viewed many other options and coming out feeling sick and disappointed i was starting to lose hope, feeling rather annoyed that i was thinking no one could be good enough, but then i found Carol.

From the minute I spoke to Carol and went to visit her at her home, i knew she was the childminder for me and my little girl Georgia. Georgia started with Carol at just 9 months and we all clicked instantly, i was not worried one bit about leaving Georgia with Carol.

Georgia has been attending now for 18 months, she has made some amazing friends and absolutely loves Carol and her family like her own family. The environment is just perfect, Carol has every tool, toy you could wish for and everything is clean. Carol is very chatty, friendly, bubbly, organised and is so flexible. When I started my new job, i had lots of training on days I should not have been working but Carol was able to accommodate Georgia at anytime for me. I

I would not change anything (except having her closer to my catchment, so that when Georgia goes go to school she could continue to do school drops for me).

Carol has always worked with me with regards to Georgia's routine and feeding patterns, which is so helpful. Everyday you get your child's diary which talks through what has happened that day for your child and every term you get a detailed journal showing what milestones your child has achieved. Georgia often comes home with craft activities she has been doing and Carol take photos everyday of what your child is doing and adds them to a private page so you can see and save them.

Carol is like a friend now and I have so much trust in her. I feel so very lucky to have found her service and that Georgia is with her. I would not change a thing. Thank you Carol x
