Our son has been with Miss Carol at Tiny Treasures since he was 6 Months old. As he was so young, we did not think it appropriate for him to go to a nursery as they tended to be very loud and we did not want to run the risk of him being overlooked and his needs not being met.

After an endless hunt, we found Tiny Treasures, run by Carol. The setting is exactly what our family required. It is a smaller setting, perfect for children in a small group who get individual one to one attention and person centered development.

Carol invests time and energy into developing the children and focuses on where strengths and weaknesses are, paying a little closer attention when needed to assist in hitting key milestones.

At the end of every day there is a comprehensive handover of what our son has done and anything that could be worked on at home. Equally, if we are implementing something at home, Carol takes it on board and does the same in the setting so that there is no disconnect. As an example: we speak German to our son at home and sign with him. To ensure that he does not miss out on learning – Carol teaches him in German and English to solidify his linguistic skills.

In the last six months our son has developed so dramatically, we can honestly say a large part of that is due to his time spent at tiny treasures. He had his 12 month review recently and scored full marks!

Carol is an exceptional care giver and teacher who would be considered exemplary in the childcare field. This setting is highly recommended and it is an honour to have Carol and her team looking after our son.
