Our daughter started with Caroline and Paul in April this year, and she loves every minute. Her confidence just grows more and more every day. We cannot fault their level of care and information sharing. We're always kept up to date with any new skills learned or issues. Both Caroling and Paul are extremely lovely, they really put you at ease. Isla is so happy with them and we couldn't have wished for better people to look after our little girl.

We took our daughter to Paul and Caroline when she was 9 months old and had never been left with anyone other than us, but they mad us feel at ease and Olivia warmed to them straight away. They are a wonderful family with a lovely home. They are great with communication and go above and beyond to support your child's development. They have a very inclusive approach and offer so many resources to parents. Olivia is always eager to see them and is obvious that she spends the day in a nurturing environment. We are so thankful to have found them and cannot recommend them enough.

Thank you,
You have been an amazing family ❤

Thank you for entrusting us to care for Olivia. It was an absolute pleasure, she has been a pure joy to be with.

We are going to miss you all 😥, but wish you all the best on your new adventures x

My daughter absolutely loves going to Caroline and Paul's. They provide a really lovely family environment which nurtures all areas of development with the children. Our daughter is making great progress in all areas such as speech, imaginative play, sharing, being independent etc and it is clear that what we do at home with her is reinforced and supported with Caroline and Paul. They also track her progress and provide us with regular updates which is great. We couldn't ask for anyone better to look after our little girl, they're brilliant!

My Daughter has been with Caroline and Paul since Oct 2013.

They were both so welcoming, friendly and clearly great with children so my daughter settled in very quickly.

She has been incredibly happy with them and is leaving this week because we have moved out of Bristol but I think they have really helped her to grow and develop. She is a confident, chatty child and I'm sure they have something to do with this.

They always do fun things with the children and Layla has really enjoyed being there, we will all miss them as a family.

It was a tough decision to go back to work knowing our little boy would be being looked after by someone else and the worty that we wouldn't find anyobeir anywhere suitable was playing on ny mind, however fron the first meeting with Caroline and Paul we were instantly put at ease! From the first step inside their warm and inviting house ti their koving nature towards children we knew it was the right pkace for our little man to learn, grow and have lots of fun.

They are very creative with finding new, exciting and fun learning arts and crafts as well as fantastic days out. I can honestly say Harrisons speach has cone on leaps and bounds since starting there when he was just over 1!

Its wonderful knowing he's in great hands when leaving in a norning and all the smiles you get when asking him what he has been up to when picking him up!

We would definately recommend Caroline and Paul very highly and appreciate all their help and flexibility they offer, they are fantastic! I only hope they can accomodate baby number 2 when we are lucky enough to have one!

Paul & Caroline have been looking after my little boy Sebastian since he was 6 months old. He warmed to them straight away and took very little time to settle in. Paul & Caroline provide 6hrs worth of settling in time and I would say by 3hrs worth Sebi was very much happy and secure with them both. Ever since then he has been very happy to see them every morning when I drop him off, when they open the door to him he greets them with lots of smiles and more often than not flapping arms and legs which shows his excitment!

They provide all the food, snacks and drinks for Sebi, and he has a daily diary which tells me how much he has eaten, his nap times and nappy changes. It also tells me how Sebi has spent his day and includes photos, which is lovely to see as I feel I have been a part of his day even when i'm at work!

Paul and Caroline have a range or activties and toys avaliable to the children to suit their age and ability. When I did a visit what really struck me was the positive and engaging learning enviroment that was being provided for the children. All the children were engaged in stimulating activties and were all sociable with one another. Sebi settled in with the other children straight away and loves all the toys that are provided for him. He came home the other week with his first piece of art work for Father's day which was lovely to see!

Paul & Caroline take the children out to different venues during the week, including Ugly Bugs, Keynsham Park and local farms, all of which provide Sebi with new and exciting experiances. They also stick to your child's rountine to the letter that you have set out, which was very important to me so as to keep consist stability for Sebi.

Caroline follows the EYFS and does regular observations of Sebi which enable her to plan his next steps for learning and development, so I know Sebi is being engaged in activites which will suit his needs and allow for his continuing development.

I would highly recommend Paul & Caroline to anyone looking for quality childcare. I have been extremely happy with the care, love and nuturing that they have provided for Sebi that I feel exceptionally happy and secure in my mind that Sebi is safe, happy and content while I am at work. I work in a school myself and serveral parents also used Paul and Caroline as childminders for their children when they were younger and could not sing their praises enough. They are truly fantastic childminders.
