Our daughter went to Carole when she was 7 months old until she went to nursery at 3 years. Carole and Dave were like our daughters second family as we didn't have any family close by to help. She loved going there and when she left to go to nursery she was a confident and happy little girl and that's very much thanks to the love she received when in Carole's care. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending their service. They were brilliant!

Carole has cared for my children when they were small. She has also helped out with emergency cover and during some school holidays.
She has amazing attention to detail and provides excellent care on an individual basis.
She is totally accommodating and makes everyone welcome. I always felt the children were happy with here and in very safe hands.
I would not hesitate in recommending Carole for her quality childminding services.

Carole and Dave are fantastic! Originally I was worried how my children would get on there (as they only go during the school holidays) but they absolutely love it! It’s like home from home for them!
We always get such a warm welcome when we arrive at the front door and the kids just go straight in with no hesitation whatsoever. I’m at ease when at work as Carole will always keep me updated with how they’re getting on throughout the day. Dave makes sure the kids get out and about which is great too!
I have recommended them already to my friends but would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for caring, professional childcare.

I was really nervous about sending my 1 year old son Hudson to a childminders but after meeting Carole I fully relaxed.
Carole and Dave are a fantastic couple and brilliant childminders.
Hudson loved going and really came out of himself.
I would recommend them to anyone

Carole is exactly what I had hoped for when looking for someone to take care of my boys.
My eldest who’s nearly 10 settled in amazingly from 9 months old and my youngest who’s nearly 6 settled in the same. Caroles home is clean,tidy but most importantly safe and fun for the children. Her husband Dave is fantastic and the boys think he’s super cool. My children still talk about ‘those days at Caroles’ and I’m pretty sure they would move in if they could.
There’s nothing better than knowing your children are happy and in good care. Would highly recommend.

When having to make the difficult decision to go back to work I knew this time round that I wanted to find a childminder rather than a nursery. I came across Carole’s profile and there was no second thought needed, that was where I wanted my daughter to be cared for and I can honestly say it was the best decision we ever made.
Our daughter was only 6 months old when she first started going to Carole and is not far off turning 2. She had grown and developed from the baby she was into the outgoing little girl she is now, full of character, clever and independent and the credit for this is definitely down to the care that Carole, Dave and their daughters provide.
Our daughter loves being there, so much so she doesn’t want to leave some evenings. It is such a happy, loving, caring and friendly environment which the children all love, it really is the best home away from home you could wish for.
Carole and Dave are not just our childminders, we consider them to be our friends and an extended family to our daughter.
I would recommend Carole to anyone in a heartbeat. Sending our daughter here was the best decision we could have made, we are very lucky and wouldn’t be without them!

Both my monkeys have been going to Carole for just a little under 4 years. The care provided for both has been second to non. As stated in my title what my two experience when they are at Carole's is a home from home experience, they are treated like family. My daughter is 10 years old and Carole and her family cater for her educational needs as well as provide a positive and safe environment for my two to grow and develop.

I found Carole's profile on this website while we were still in Japan when we decided to move to the UK 5 years ago. I was desperate to find someone to look after my 5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter as I had to start working full time straight away after I got there. We went to see her on the next day we arrived in MK, and her smile and friendly character made me comfortable immediately and thought my children will be fine with her. It wasn't an easy start as my children didn't speak a word of English then, but Carole tried really hard to communicate with them, and they soon started forming a bond that gave me a huge relief! Her husband David started doing school run later, and my children loved him too! Their lovely daughters also looked after them sometimes, and we felt like we became part of the family.
She has a lovely house with a big back garden, and the house was always immaculate! I don't know how she does it when she has so many children to look after! My daughter was so proud to be a toy room manager helping her to tidy up lots of toys!
Whenever I encountered problems, she always helped me finding solutions even beyond her role as a childminder which I cannot thank her enough.
My children stayed with her for 5 years until we left MK, and we couldn't have survived there without her and her family!
I would definitely recommend Carole, she is brilliant!

Carole has been absolutely brilliant with our daughter. We initially put our daughter in to a nursery at 9 months old, and she just wasn’t settling in, we were told she would be in the baby room, but every time I went to drop her off and and collect her she was in the toddler room in tears. It was clear it was too much for her, so we decided a Childminder would be a better option.
We were so lucky to find Carole, our daughter needed a lot of reassurance and comfort for the first few months after her experience with the nursery and Carole was absolutely brilliant with her, my anxieties of leaving my daughter completely disappeared as I knew Carole and her husband were doing everything to make my daughter feel safe and happy.
Fast forward 18 months and we still couldn’t be happier, our daughters development and confidence has come on so much thanks to Carole and her husband. Every time I ask my daughter if she’s had a fun day at Carole’s; she shouts at the top of her voice “Yeah!” with the biggest smile on her face. That makes my day!
I would absolutely recommend Carole, she’s brilliant!

Like so many other first time parents, leaving our little one to go back into the world of work was quite an emotional and stressful time. I was super nervous about leaving my 1 year old son in childcare, and as he was a prem baby I was even more cautious about who and where I would choose. However, within the first few minutes of meeting Carole and her husband Dave in there welcoming home, I just knew our son was going to love it there.
It's not very often you meet a family of such engaging, full of life and caring people, yet the Culvers have been just that and so much more. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience in childcare that puts my mind at ease everyday. Our son is so happy, he sometimes doesn't want to leave which is a lovely feeling!!
Over the last 11 months in Carole and Dave's care, our son has developed superbly. He has not only learned to walk and talk, but he has become an independent little chap - full of character that Carole and Dave encourage and flourish.
Carole and her family provide a stimulating and nuturing environment for children of different ages in their care. Their home is full of positivity and has a true home from home sense about it. There are lots of educational, sensory and fun toys / activities for the children. The children love outdoor play and my little one especially enjoys the trips out to the park.
The proof really is in the pudding, when at the end of each day our son, and the other children, are all so happy!! A true testament to a fabulous childcare setting!
I really can't recommend Carole, Dave and their two brilliant daughters enough. I feel SO incredibly lucky to have found them, and cannot thank them enough for everything they've done for my little boy so far.
