Our time with Carol 🙂

My little boy Shyam has been with Carol for around for 4 months and we couldn’t be more happier with how he has settled in, as well as the relationship he has developed with her.

With no family support, I was struggling with work/house work and so a child minder was something we wanted for a short period before Shyam started nursery - Carol has been very flexible with us given our contract with her is a short one, she has been supportive in giving us tips on what we can do with Shyam in certain aspect of his routine and we have instantly bonded with her because of her very kind and friendly nature. Her communication is excellent and we get responses back in a very good time.

I would highly recommend Carol to anyone looking for child care. She has a lovely set up of toys, but also takes Shyam (and the other children) to various playgroups.

As a Mum who has been home with her child for 18-20 months prior, I felt immense guilt leaving Shyam in childcare, but Carol reassured me that it was not only good for his development, but good for me to have a little bit of a break too.

From the minute we started with Carol we have had no issues and there is common kindness and respect between us.

Shyam will miss Carol when he starts nursery, but because of the bond they have I’m sure he will still see her on his non nursery days.
