Carrie's 5 Star Reviews

Caring, creative and capable

Our son has been with Carrie since he was 7 months old and is now almost 2. He's excited to see her in the morning and comes home in a great mood. Carrie provides a home away from home and clearly puts so much thought and care into her space and the days that she plans for the children. She is always taking them to fun and engaging places nearby when the weather allows, or does arts and crafts when stuck indoors which means we have lots of lovely keepsakes that are brought home. I feel my son's development was helped a lot through his time with her and the support he receives, being encouraged to learn new skills by Carrie. I always look forward to the pictures at the end of the day to see what they've been up to. Carrie has also been a great support to us as first time parents, providing advice when we've needed as she has multiple years of experience with children.

Incredible childminder

I'm self employed and needed to go back to work when my little one was 4months, and she started going to Carrie from then 4 days per week.

Carrie was incredible, understanding, caring and excellent with Lola. She gave us confidence and assistance with weaning and lots of helpful advice (as first time parents this was invaluable). She supported Lola in every aspect of her learning and development, and gave a great mix of activities and outdoor play/experiences. Carrie put us at ease straight away, and built an amazing bond with Lola.

I would recommend her to anyone!

A home away from home

Where do I start?! Carrie has been absolutely amazing with our little boy. From the moment we met her, we knew that Carrie was the one, after looking for a childminder we could trust our son with for ages. Her values and teaching methods are very much aligned with ours and she made us feel welcome from the start. Her home has a warm, welcoming feel to it and it's easy to see why our little boy feels so comfortable there and loves going to see and spend the day with Carrie so much!

Carrie is clearly very competent, but more importantly, made our son feel safe and at home. Her communication is excellent and we especially love the updates she provides through the diary, which she completes after every session.

We love the fact that she does loads with the kids and takes them out to various fun and exciting places. Our son's development and social skills have continually astounded us and that's in large part thanks to Carrie.

We trust Carrie fully with our son and we have no concerns at all when he's with her. We couldn't recommend her highly enough. She sets the bar high when it comes to childcare.
