My daughter started with Caroline 2023 when she was 1 year old and cannot walk or craw. For a month Caroline worked hard with her and teach her to walk.
Ever since the first day, Caroline payed so much attention and at age of two my daughter talked in English where we are non english speaking family.
Caroline teach her to eat self, to listen commands, to sing songs, to draw, to dance, to be kind and teach her good manners. There are no words to say how thankfull I am for those two years , being able to work knowing my dauther is as happy as at home.
From day one there was never tears in her eyes when I leave her at Carolines and instead my daughter will name toys after Caroline and rush at the morning to her house to play.
I have had so many photos every days so I was fully aware what my child did, how long it slept, eat, or had a nappy changed. I was able to work in pease , knowing my kid is in a good hands.
I am not easy when comes to food and I want my kid to eat healthy. It was important for me that Caroline fed my daughter as per my instructions and with what I provided.
Sometimes on Fridays Caroline was taking all kids to restaurant for a healthy breakfast and ensured they all had balanced meal of eggs, sausages and ved.
For every occasion Caroline spend time to organise materials for arts and crafts and encourage kids to create their masterpieces such as art work and pictures, guess what 1 year old including. I had tones of cards and creations for Christmas, Easter, Mother’s day , V day, Father’s day and so on.
Kids was every day to playgroup's, parks or soft plays to socialise and make friends.
Sadly my daughter will have to start pre-school and I am sure she is well prepared to look after her self at the big nursery.
With every word said I can only highly recommend Caroline’s care, but I will suggest contact her to see for yourself how nice person she is, full of commitment and dedication with her work and love to children.
Last but not least Caroline’s prices were affordable and reasonable for the service provided.
Good luck !
