Caroline Dean's Reviews

Phenomenal all round childminder!

Caroline has taken care of my boys (2 and 4 years old) for almost a year now. She is an absolutely phenomenal childminder. From the very start, Caroline took time to introduce us to her setting, and was able to very quickly build rapport with the kids in a thougtful and sensitive way that only a seasoned professional would know how. Her days are planned meticulously, always filled with fun and activities but she weaves EYFS teaching throughout the term, so there is a well thought out structure and the boys have loved learning about festivals and seasons and animals etc!. They have loved exploring the local area too and making friends with the children of other Childminders in Caroline's network. Caroline's energy and passion for children is infectious, I was impressed with how quickly she got to know the boys and tailored her care towards their individual personalities. You really get the best of both worlds at Bumbles - the personalised touch and care of a loving and highly qualified childminder, but the structure and focus on learning and development that you'd get in a nursery. Our boys are always happy to say good bye to us in the morning and equally happy, well-fed and content when we pick them up. Would highly recommend Caroline!

Amazing Caroline!

Caroline looked after both my son and daughter from 1 year until school age. Caroline has an incredibly contagious happy energy and both my kids loved her enthusiasm, fun playful spirit and ability to make all games more “magical”. Reliable, efficient and a dream for both parents and children!
