Our daughter who is two, started with Carlie in June after a string of terrible experiences and let downs with other providers. Due to our emotional state at the time having been pushed from pillar to post, I was beside myself having to leave my daughter with another new person and new environment, however I needn’t have worried! Carlie is warm, caring and professional, she went through all of her extensive qualifications and supporting certifications/paperwork which gave me great confidence in her abilities and credibility. We spoke at length about her passion for a more holistic approach to childcare and education, which really aligns with our family values and focus on emotional development.

Our daughter was inevitably very upset on her first few drop off’s but Carlie did not put pressure on us to “drop and go” she gave me ample time in her home to comfort my daughter and explain that I would leave her now but return later. Carlie eases the worry throughout the day by sending updates with photos of their activities and adventures.

The level of thought and care that Carlie provides is wonderful and it’s very clear that our daughter is thriving there. One day I forgot to include my daughters evening meal and Carlie without hesitation offered to provide her dinner with her daughters, and then proceeded to send me an adorable photo of her absolutely made up to be having the same tea as the big girls (Carlie’s daughters) it’s these sorts of actions that really make a difference and we know we can always depend on Carlie.
