About Me

About Me
Hi my name's Carol I live in Goodmayes. I Have been looking after children for over 10 years with all the relevant child care qualifications, am Ofsted Registered and inspected and First Aid trained. I have experience with newborns up to teenagers. I currently have one space in my setting .
I love working with children and provide them with provision and an environment that is safe, fun, stimulating and engaging. I believe that this is essential for children to grow, learn and develop.
Some of the activities I do with children are Arts and Crafts, cooking healthy foods, baking, trips to the local library and local park etc... I also have large garden which provides excellent play and socialisation opportunities. I also provide new parents with the opportunity to speak to other parents with whom I have worked with, for peace of mind.
Please contact me if this is of any interest to you, through this site.
Regards, Carol.

Good
26 May 2023
Children thrive in a nurturing environment where they form close attachments and engage in stimulating activities. The childminder effectively assesses and plans for learning, supporting communication skills and independence. While children benefit from a range of developmental opportunities, there is room for improvement in promoting awareness of local community diversity and oral health education. Overall, the care provided is good, with a strong focus on preparing children for their next stage of learning.

Carol has been looking after my daughter since she was just over six months old, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. She is warm, caring, and incredibly reliable. Every day, my child is excited to see her, which speaks volumes about the loving and safe environment she provides.
Carol is wonderful at planning fun, creative activities that help the children learn and grow, while also being attentive to each child’s individual needs. I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing my little one is in her care. She goes above and beyond, and it truly shows how much she loves what she does.
We feel very lucky to have found her and couldn’t recommend Carol more highly!

I picked Carol from 6 childminders.
She took care of my child for 2 years and I never had no any kind of issues. If I will have more children still I will pick Carol.
My little girl learn to talk, to play, phonics everything with Carol even now she wakes up in the morning and she is asking me to take her to Carol. I highly recommend her!

Carol took care of my son from 15months old to 3yrs1/2 as he is starting nursery and we have moved too far away.
She has welcomed us in her home and taken care of him like family. She has helped him grow to be a wonderful very confident little boy and has supported us when we needed it. She has adapted to our changing schedule and made it easy for us to go to work with peace of mind.
Carol provides a safe and clean environment and offers a wide variety of activities. As my son was only going there part time she made sure that he would be present for main events. He loved going there and is very sad now that he had to stop but looking forward some play dates in the future!
I couldn't recommend Carol enough! She is fantastic!
