Tean is a friendly babysitter loved by both our children. She plays games with the kids, helps set up homework and will even help with small house tasks if she has time. Tean is reliable and definitely has the credentials to work in childcare (previous nanny; school role). I would not hesitate in recommending her.

Karen was our nanny for 8 years and was exceptional. She was loved by our 2 children. She took the time to arrange fun activities, guided them with school work and was extremely patient. She really enjoys her job. Karen deserves to do well in her future career.

We found Louise on childcare after our first babysitter cancelled and the hotel was unable to give any recommendations. She looked after our 1 year old daughter and 7 year old son at Baslow Hall for 2 evenings.
She responded quickly to emails and was flexible with timings. She was extremely friendly and relaxed with the children-they loved her. She brought books/toys. She played with the children and got them ready for bed.
Very professional service. We would recommend her for any babysitting jobs.

My husband and I chose Karen based on excellent childcare reviews, OFSTED report and flexibility with childcare hours. We took a risk of transferring our child from nursery to a childminding setting as we wanted to settle our son in Calne and liked the idea of a small group setting with activities not limited to one setting.

Karen is a friendly and bubbly mother of 2 grown up children. She is flexible and reliable (she has never taken a sick day during our year with her). Ad hoc sessions have been easy to arrange.

Activities include gingerbread men baking, paddling pool, soft play and my son even got to sit in the back of a real police car! There is a well stocked playroom with a small table for the children. Children are encouraged to be independent.

We believe that Karen is the best childminder in Calne and would recommend her highly.
