I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding care and attention that Carla and Luis from CL Explorers have provided for my son, Caspar. Their dedication and warmth have truly made a lasting impression on our family.
From the moment Caspar joined CL Explorers, Carla, and Luis went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and secure in his new environment. Their genuine care and attention to detail have transformed Caspar's experience of being in a childcare setting.
Carla's nurturing approach is evident in every interaction. She takes the time to understand Caspar's needs and interests, creating an enriching environment for him. Her patience and kindness have played a pivotal role in fostering a sense of trust between Caspar and the learning environment. Caspar is so happy when I drop him off at CL Explorers he even shuts the door & says bye-bye! This makes me feel so happy that he is so happy with both Carla & Luis.
Luis, equally commendable, brings an infectious energy to the learning space. His sense of humor is amazing & Caspar loves him. Both Carla & Luis send videos of them playing with Caspar & photos with regular updates throughout the day. Caspar is always smiling which is so lovely to see. Sometimes when I go to pick him up he doesn't want to leave as he's had so much fun that day!
What sets Carla and Luis apart is their genuine commitment to the well-being of each child under their care. They go beyond the call of duty to ensure that Caspar's emotional and developmental needs are met. Their open communication and regular updates have provided us with a sense of comfort and confidence in Caspar's experience at CL Explorers.
Their caring and nurturing approach has created a positive and supportive atmosphere that has greatly contributed to Caspar's overall development.
If you are seeking a childcare program where your child's well-being and growth are at the forefront, I wholeheartedly recommend CL Explorers. They have exceeded our expectations, and we are truly grateful for the positive impact they have had on Caspar's early learning journey. We couldn't have picked a better couple to look after our son.
My daughter started at CL Explorers in September 2020, 6 months later than originally planned due to the pandemic, but Carla held the place for us. Her care and compassion was clear from the outset, as my daughter and I both found the transition from maternity leave into full time work and childcare hard. Carla did everything she could to make it easier for us, including sending me regular updates with pictures. She even rearranged the furniture in her living room to suit my little one's interests!
It wasn't long before the tears disappeared and my girl is now delighted when I tell her she is going to play at Carla's.
The setting is colourful, clean and child-centred, and Carla and Luis are efficient, flexible, supportive, friendly and very kind.
I would be delighted to recommend CL Explorers to anyone seeking childcare in the locale.
We are so pleased we found CL explorers and delighted with the care they provide our 15 month old daughter since she started in March. After visiting a few different childminders in the area, we were blown away by Carla’s personal and professional approach, and knew straight away that it was the right choice for us. Carla was very supportive with the transition of starting childcare (especially as our daughter had little contact with other adults/children due to being a lockdown baby) and already offered alternative vegetarian option at mealtimes which was a huge plus!
Our daughter has flourished in the home from home environment and her genuine care and enjoyment of looking after the children is clear to see. We feel like our daughter is being looked after by family
Carla and Luis are fantastic they have looked after our 2 year old son now for nearly a year. And he loves it.
Always so happy to run in. He has come on so much new words and learning something new every time he goes. He loves playing with the other children.
It’s a great environment for him. We are so happy to have found CL explorers and for them to have a place. Definitely 10/10 and more. If you read this and they have a place I’d take it without hesitation. They are very flexible and will help in anyway they can. They are the best childminders we found They will love and look after your child like their own.
Thank you CL explorers.
My son started with CL Explorers Childcare in January. He was a lockdown baby, so hadn't been with anyone else other than at home with our family. Carla was so patient and kind whilst it took him a little while to settle, but now he quite happily walks in ready to play. She treats him like one of her own and I know he is so well looked after. She is really flexible and if we need an extra day here or there, she tries her best to help out in any way she can.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone else looking for childcare.
