Caroline is a warm, welcoming childminder who instantly bonded with both of our children. It was refreshing that after making an initial enquiry, Caroline opened her home to us straight away to put our minds at ease. Her home in clean and safe for both very young children and those a little older to explore. The toys are age appropriate and vary to cater for all ages. Watching my babys progression from just walking when she arrived to now has been startling. Caroline initiated potty training for my daughter by monitoring her development closely and finding the perfect time. Not only did she conquer this well before my daughters second birthday but whenever I had doubts or a little wobble she reassured and supported me. My daughter regularly participates in learning activities, improving her speech and understanding day by day. There is always arts and crafts and photographic evidence of the fun they have. Caroline makes healthy and nutritious food and encourages the children to try a variety of different foods to explore tastes and textures. Fresh fruit and vegetables are always on the menu as well as bread and cake making for balance and fun. Caroline is flexible and understanding which greatly reduces the stress and anxiety of leaving your children. Caroline caters for young children and also looks after my 9 year old in school holidays, providing fun and creative activities suitable for all ages. My children adore Caroline and the home away from home she provides. I would highly recommend her childminding services to anyone.
