My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Caroline, I live in Warmley Village, just off the A420, with my husband Paul who is also an Ofsted registered childminder, along with our daughter, Leanne, our pets Tilly and Jessie....along with fish in the garden pond.
We have been childminding since 2001, and were last inspected in December 2021 by Ofsted and were graded good with outstanding areas in our inspection.
We don't want to bombard you with too much information about us..so a little snapshot is that we live next to Warmley Forest Park, which is a lovely outdoor space that we utilise to the full...from picnics, playing pooh sticks, going for walks, den building, climb trees, have storytime, etc.
We have fun days out at places like Willsbridge Mill, Warmley Forest, Various Parks, etc
We like to think that we offer a nurturing, safe, fun, friendly and stimulating environment for children to learn and grow, into confident, independent little people, whilst following the Early Years Foundation Stage framework.
We do have a prospectus that we hope gives families all the information a family would like to know about us and our childminding services, if you would like a copy, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you for your interest and look forward to hearing from you.
Caroline and Paul

Our daughter started with Caroline and Paul in April this year, and she loves every minute. Her confidence just grows more and more every day. We cannot fault their level of care and information sharing. We're always kept up to date with any new skills learned or issues. Both Caroling and Paul are extremely lovely, they really put you at ease. Isla is so happy with them and we couldn't have wished for better people to look after our little girl.
We took our daughter to Paul and Caroline when she was 9 months old and had never been left with anyone other than us, but they mad us feel at ease and Olivia warmed to them straight away. They are a wonderful family with a lovely home. They are great with communication and go above and beyond to support your child's development. They have a very inclusive approach and offer so many resources to parents. Olivia is always eager to see them and is obvious that she spends the day in a nurturing environment. We are so thankful to have found them and cannot recommend them enough.

Thank you,
You have been an amazing family ❤
Thank you for entrusting us to care for Olivia. It was an absolute pleasure, she has been a pure joy to be with.
We are going to miss you all 😥, but wish you all the best on your new adventures x
My daughter absolutely loves going to Caroline and Paul's. They provide a really lovely family environment which nurtures all areas of development with the children. Our daughter is making great progress in all areas such as speech, imaginative play, sharing, being independent etc and it is clear that what we do at home with her is reinforced and supported with Caroline and Paul. They also track her progress and provide us with regular updates which is great. We couldn't ask for anyone better to look after our little girl, they're brilliant!
My Daughter has been with Caroline and Paul since Oct 2013.
They were both so welcoming, friendly and clearly great with children so my daughter settled in very quickly.
She has been incredibly happy with them and is leaving this week because we have moved out of Bristol but I think they have really helped her to grow and develop. She is a confident, chatty child and I'm sure they have something to do with this.
They always do fun things with the children and Layla has really enjoyed being there, we will all miss them as a family.
