About Me

Hi.
My name is Caroline Flower and I have over 16 years of professional childcare experience. I live with my husband and two cats in Halesowen. I have recently become registered with Ofstead to be a childminder. I have a clean and welcoming environment, creating the home from home feel. I will be offering meals and snacks throughout the day. We like to do lots of exploring in the local area, such as library visits, going to the park, soft play, forest school, the farm and lots more. I encourage lots of outside play as I am passionate about the great outdoors and I have a lovely outdoor, secure space. I have my own car with a full UK driving licence that I have held for 12 years with no claims. I drive a 7 seater and child seats will be provided by myself. My hours are 7. 30am till 6pm Monday to Friday and Saturdays 8am till 2pm. If you have any inquiries do not hesitate to ask.

Good
28 May 2025
A nurturing environment and well-designed curriculum form the foundation of this childcare setting. Children enjoy daily outdoor activities and healthy snacks in a homely atmosphere that promotes independence. Effective partnerships with parents ensure regular updates on children's progress. While the overall approach is good, there is room for improvement in consistently incorporating children's interests and considering individual needs for fine motor skills development.
