Carly has been looking after my little boy since he was 19 months old and I cannot recommend her highly enough. We looked at a lot of childminders and this was the first place that we felt instantly comfortable with. Carly is warm and friendly and great with children. You can tell that she genuinely enjoys looking after them. The setting is lovely. Off the beaten track but near enough to Street, Glastonbury, etc. There are lots of fun things to do in the garden and the kids get outdoor time nearly every chance the weather lets them. There are ducks and also a sweet, friendly, gentle dog to play with. They go on lots of walks to see farm animals,the woods, blackberry picking,etc.
On rainy days, there are lots of indoor art activities, messy play, and also cuddles on the sofa reading stories.
Carly regularly takes them on outings to toddler groups, parks etc. My little one is always exhausted and happy when he gets home. Oh and Carly picks him up and drops him off every day which is AMAZING.
Carly uses an online system for admin which means you get an online diary entry everyday letting you know what they've been up to (sometimes with photos!). This is really useful as sometimes pick up/drop off time can be hectic so hard to chat! Really easy to get a hold of via phone or email.
To sum up, if you're looking for a home away from home environment where your little one can flourish, then look no further.
