Carol provides the very best care for my Son, in a home-from-home environment. He is greeted cheerily every morning, and I leave him fully confident he will be cared for, and all his needs will be seen to. Her home is colourful, safe, and provides all the learning tools/toys/books needed.
Carol is dedicated to the children she minds, and communicates daily regarding their achievements, activities they have been doing, and development within the EYFS framework. She informs me regularly regarding my Son's intrigue with early Mathematics, and how she encourages his to explore this further. Her enthusiasm for helping the children develop is clear, and is complimented by the care she provides. She highlights their accomplishments against the EYFS stage tracker and explains in detail how each stage is demonstrated.
My Son is offered a varied and nutritious diet, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables daily, as well as fish, chicken and good hearty meals which I would provide him with at home.
Carol genuinely cares about the children she minds, and invests in their early development. We receive a monthly email detailing what the children have been investigating over the past month, what topics they will be exploring over the next month, and any seasonal activities she is planning for the future, ie. Visits, trips etc. I also receive daily feedback. Carol is very knowledgeable regarding her profession, and understands the needs of the Parent to be informed of their child’s behaviour, accomplishments and emotional developments. She cares for each child to ensure they are content and having fun! On days when he is upset or teething, she offers him the comfort and contact he needs when his parents aren’t there. She encourages the children to read, sing and dance – learning through having fun is key, and exactly how I want my Son to learn.

I wouldn’t send my Son to anyone else - thanks Carol
