We are really pleased with how our daughter, Lily (16 months) has taken to Caroline. Choosing a childminder and leaving Lily was so hard. It is such a relief to have found someone who is as kind and caring as Caroline. I can leave for work and my mind is at ease.

Lily has been with Caroline for 2 months now, 3 days a week. We read her daily diary as soon as we get home which keeps us fully informed on how Lily has spent her day (trips to the allotment, toddler groups, park etc..), how Lily has been, what she has eaten, how much she has slept etc. This is invaluable, as are the regular posts on Lily's blog with photos and videos which are so lovely to see.

Caroline has 2 lovely boys and a lovely family home. The children enjoy healthy home cooked and home grown food. It is an environment in which Lily seems to feel very happy, secure and confident to explore and learn. The children also spend lots of time outside in the fresh air exploring their natural environment which we feel is so important.

We feel lucky to have found a childminder so committed to every aspect of child development and would not hesitate to recommend Caroline. We would be happy to talk to any parents who are thinking of leaving their child in Caroline's care.
