Warm, experienced and homely setting!!

Reviewed

Both of our sons have been cared for by Caroline. Our experience has been a very happy and postive one, we feel lucky to have found Caroline.
Setting- a very homely environment, lots of toys and learning activities, the children really engage in the space and you can see that it’s used! Their artwork is displayed on the walls for the children to celebrate, Caroline puts so much work into the meaningful activities she does. You can see the children love her home and it is very much geared around their needs. Her two grown up daughters are sometimes there and my two sons adored them. We also asked them to babysit on a few occasions.
Care- My boys loved going, Caroline is very warm and built strong bonds with both my sons. They felt safe and part of her family. They built a sense of belonging which was what I hoped for.
Activities- Caroline takes them out to lots of great places, indoor and outdoor spaces. Caroline recorded their learning in a folder, it was very comprehensive and a lovely thing to keep. My sons formed bonds with the other children and developed socially and learned lots. Caroline always celebrated key dates in the calendar which we loved, helping my boys develop a sense of rhythm, connection, family and community.
Care- Caroline is very experienced and knowledgable, she comes from a social work background and has a depth of understanding around childhood development. We have felt very grateful for the support and care we have received. We highly recommend!!
