Caroline's Reviews

Caroline is the Best Childminder!

We were so lucky to have Caroline looking after our son, Ibrahim, from when he was 13 months old. From the very beginning, she created such a warm, calm, and caring environment, and Ibrahim settled in straight away. He became really close to her daughters too—they were like big sisters to him, and it was so lovely to see him feel like part of her family.

One of the biggest improvements we saw during his time with Caroline was his sleep. He used to struggle with naps, especially in a cot, but she gently and patiently helped him get into a consistent routine. Before long, he was napping happily during the day, which made a huge difference to him—and to us as parents.
Caroline also gave Ibrahim such a rich variety of experiences. She regularly took him out to the museum, farm, park, and local playgroups. Even though he wasn’t talking yet, we could clearly see how much he enjoyed those outings—he was so much more confident, engaged, and curious. It was amazing to see how much he grew and developed through the activities she planned.
She was always brilliant at keeping us in the loop, letting us know how his day had gone—what he ate, how he slept, what he’d enjoyed doing. She often sent us little updates and photos, which we loved receiving during the workday.

It’s so clear that Caroline genuinely loves what she does. Her warmth, patience, and attention to detail made such a positive impact on Ibrahim, and we always felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care.
We’re genuinely sad to be leaving Caroline—it’s hard to say goodbye to someone who has played such an important role in your child’s early life. We’ll always be grateful for everything she did for our family.

Excellent childminder

Caroline started looking after my daughter at the beginning of the year and has been truly fantastic. She plans different activities for each day and gives a full run down with pictures of what they have been up to throughout the day. Caroline potty trained my daughter which took a lot of the pressure off me as a working mum. I have used childminders before and Caroline really goes the extra mile to provide great care and cook healthy meals. I couldn't recommend her more.

Great Childminder - Would highly recommend

Caroline looked after my little boy from October 2018 - February 2019. It was my first time leaving him in childcare and Caroline made the process extremely easy and put my worries at ease. My little boy loved going to her and seeing her daughter and came on leaps and bounds with her, eating better and being confident around other children as she took him to regular groups. She kept me updated all day with lovely photos and messages plus his diary which would come home each evening, she also had a sleepover case with a book and cuddly toy which each child would get a turn of taking home which me and my little boy enjoyed doing together. She is thoughtful, with birthdays and Christmas, cards bought home as well as presents for my little boy.
We are sadly having to leave Caroline as we are moving away but I would highly recommend her to any parents looking for a kind, friendly and trustworthy childminder.
