CarolineAfam's Reviews

The greatest childminder imaginable

Caroline is amazing at her job. She has looked after my son for over a year now since he was 11 months old and he couldn't be happier! I knew from the first minute of meeting Caroline that we would be lucky if she was to be our son's childminder. Her house has so many toys and it is so clear from the moment you walk in that she is passionate about her career. My son has thrived since spending his days with Caroline! She is teaching him so many things and always taking him out on both indoor and outdoor adventures and plenty of playgroups. She is always studying to further her already extensive knowledge of children and the early years. I honestly couldn't recommend Caroline more!

Fantastic warm and kind childminder

Caroline looked after our son from 1 year to 4 years when we moved back to Australia. She has created such a warm and engaging atmosphere in her house and our son absolutely loved her.

The children get a great experience during the day with Caroline taking them on many different outings to parks, play centers and much more. Her house is a treasure trove of fun activities and our son always came home with great stories of what he had done that day.

Caroline had great communication with us as parents - sending through pics and creating a full report every week of what our son had done and what achievements and milestones he had shown that day. The full report was given to us when we left.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Caroline to anyone - she will always be part of our family and I am so glad that we chose her to look after our son!

Warm, experienced and homely setting!!

Both of our sons have been cared for by Caroline. Our experience has been a very happy and postive one, we feel lucky to have found Caroline.
Setting- a very homely environment, lots of toys and learning activities, the children really engage in the space and you can see that it’s used! Their artwork is displayed on the walls for the children to celebrate, Caroline puts so much work into the meaningful activities she does. You can see the children love her home and it is very much geared around their needs. Her two grown up daughters are sometimes there and my two sons adored them. We also asked them to babysit on a few occasions.
Care- My boys loved going, Caroline is very warm and built strong bonds with both my sons. They felt safe and part of her family. They built a sense of belonging which was what I hoped for.
Activities- Caroline takes them out to lots of great places, indoor and outdoor spaces. Caroline recorded their learning in a folder, it was very comprehensive and a lovely thing to keep. My sons formed bonds with the other children and developed socially and learned lots. Caroline always celebrated key dates in the calendar which we loved, helping my boys develop a sense of rhythm, connection, family and community.
Care- Caroline is very experienced and knowledgable, she comes from a social work background and has a depth of understanding around childhood development. We have felt very grateful for the support and care we have received. We highly recommend!!

Just Wonderful

We searched for years for someone to sit with our boys, so we could have some time with family/friends. As a family with a disabled son and a young baby we very nervous - this was until we had the pleasure of meeting Caroline. We have since used her a few times and will continue to.
We feel so lucky to have found her and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

Caroline is an excellent, warma and friendly child

Caroline has been the childminder of my daughter aged 8 for the past 4 years and has been looking after my son 2 1/2 years since he was 6 month old. She has provided them with a stable, happy and loving care and they both adore her.
As a working mum it's so important to know your children are well cared for and Caroline provides this. I trust her completely with my children and I can highly recommend her.
