My now 8month old has been with Caroline part-time for his first two weeks since both Caroline and ourselves have moved near Hythe, Kent.
She has been great so far. During the first week I was kept informed with the odd photo or message which kept me at ease. My son's routine has been respected which I was worried about before meeting Caroline in the summer and he is always happy and cheery when I go to pick him up.
So far so good and I have no plans to have him anywhere else.
The distance we drive to get to her village is 100% worth it!

Caroline was able to help me out with emergency childcare at short notice for my 7month old baby. I have only left him for a few hours at crèche before, and she was brilliant about telling me what I needed to give to her and reassuring me throughout the day.
Thanks so much again!

My daughter was born just before the pandemic hit, but instantly when we met Caroline, we knew this was where we wanted our child to go. Caroline is friendly, accommodating & very helpful. Since being with Caroline & Malcom, my daughter has flourished. The knowledge Caroline has is extensive, as a first time mum she has helped me with weaning, illnesses, potty training, allergies & any question I have. Nothing is too much trouble & Caroline strives to do the best for the children.
Caroline is there whenever you need her, communication is brilliant & a very friendly, clean setting which Freya loves. Caroline has different weekly themes for the children, including Xmas & Halloween parties, she always goes above & beyond. I look forward to putting my second child here as it feels like a home from home!

Caroline and Malcolm have been looking after our daughter for nearly 3 and a half years now since she was 6 months old and we do not know where we would be without them! We trust them implicitly with our daughter and all aspects of her childcare. They are professional whilst maintaining the most comfortable and supportive setting for all the children in their care. Their advise and knowledge is absolutely second to none and our daughter has excelled in all aspects of her development whilst being in their care. I have no doubt she will be more than ready to start primary school in September due to their commitment to education and preparation. Our daughter absolutely loves being with Caroline and Malcolm everyday and we are so grateful to have found such amazing people to look after our daughter.

Our three year old boy has thrived during the 18 months he's been with Caroline and Malcolm. They provide a great environment to nurture him in a family focused setting and have given him a really balanced blend of carrot and stick to help him grow. Weekends and holidays are filled with him asking excitedly when he's going back to see them again. Feedback and dialogue with us has been great too. We feel so lucky to have landed such brilliant childcare!

My daughter has been going to Caroline and Malcolm twice a week for just over a year (since she was 9 months) now and we couldn’t be happier. She is absolutely thriving, has made friends and is always learning. She settled in so quickly considering she was born 7 weeks before the pandemic and was a lockdown baby and I think it’s a testament to the environment they provide. We get a full run down of her day at pick up time and we get so much support and advice when trying to navigate through those tricky toddler stages, which as first time parents, is really helpful. Caroline and Malcolm care for the children as if they were their own and you can see the love the children have for them. My daughter is crazy about them and it’s a struggle to get her home sometimes!

My children have been with Caroline and Malcolm for almost a year now - since they were 4 months old and 21 months old. I wanted somewhere where my children could spend the day together rather than in separate age group rooms. When we came to Caroline my 21 month old daughter was not sleeping well, would hit, and had regular meltdowns. Caroline looked after her and my 4 month old son like one of her own, and has helped me raise my 2 year old daughter into a kind, considerate, helpful and all round brilliant kid, and my son just adores the whole family. I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather have my children go everyday than to Caroline’s house. Caroline is the most wonderful person and a true saint.

Our daughter has been with Caroline for 5 years and our son for 6 months (since he was 9 months old). Caroline's house is a home away from home for our children, they love going every day and our son, who was born during COVID lockdown so literally saw nobody for the first 6m of his life, was totally settled within 3 weeks of coming which we never expected. Caroline and Malcolm are always on hand to help with any special requests or concerns and we couldn't ask for anything more from them.

I would like to recommend Caroline as childminder because she is very reliable, flexible and adorable with my little boy!
I work and I need flexible hours and she is always very helpful.
Great personality.

Caroline has looked after all three of my children - and they love her to bits! She provides a warm, loving home environment, healthy meals and firm but fair expectations, which are discussed with the parents. Each child has their own book and she records feedback for the parents, as well as giving a verbal handover at the end of the day. There is a wide variety of activities and she encourages plenty of fresh air to keep the children busy and entertained.
Caroline has a great deal of experience in looking after children with additional needs, and her medical background has been very helpful when my children have been sick - I have been known to message her for advice once or twice! She is always happy to help and would bend over backwards to accommodate any one of the parents or children that she child-minds for.
The most important thing for me, when looking for childcare, was that my children were happy. Caroline gave me peace of mind and my kids adore her.
