I could not have asked for anyone better!!

As a first time mum returning to work when my child was 9 months old, finding someone I trusted wholeheartedly to care for my son was difficult. We spent 1 month with a childminder before I trusted my mum-gut and pulled him out. I also tried him in a nursery, and pulled him out. The anxiety to leave him was now worse!

But then there was Charlotte. As soon as I met Charlotte and spent time looking around her home, I knew instantly my son would be well cared for with her, and importantly, he’d have fun! And I couldn’t have been more right. My son had now spent 4 years with Charlotte and he absolutely adores her. She has provided an environment for him that is not only a safe space, but a place for him to make mistakes, learn, and really hone in on the things he loves doing. He has made great friends, some of which he will be starting school with, and he is leaving charlottes more than ready for primary school. Although he already can’t wait for the holidays so he can go back to charlottes again!

I will never be able to thank Charlotte enough for the last 4 years, and I hope every mum who has to leave their babies to return to work, manages to find themselves a Charlotte❤️
