I can't praise Charly and her team highly enough and can hand on heart recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a safe, loving, supportive, professional, homely and above all happy setting for their child/ren. My daughter was a "pandemic baby" and isn't very confident with new people but every morning when asked if she wants to go to "Charly's house" she has the biggest grin on her face, yells "yeah" and literally runs out the door. Charly's setting is the perfect "best of both worlds" between a childminder and nursery setting, it's got all the benefits of having lots of room and resources that nurseries have but with the home from home feeling that you have with childminders. Charly and her team do everything in their power to support and nurture the children in their care and I trust them implicitly with my daughter's well-being and development. They go above and beyond in every way, from uploading lots of photos and details to their app so you can see what your little one is getting up to, to cuddles goodbye at the end of the day. Finding the right childcare is really hard but Charly, her team and her setting are all truly incredible and I would (and do!) recommend them in a heartbeat.

Charly's is the perfect setting for our 6 month old - like a home from home with the best bits of a nursery. The setting is spotlessly clean, with amazing play and activity stations which are rotated regularly and very well organised. The attention to detail and professionalism is fantastic. The children get to nap in their own rooms with peace and quiet. Parents are kept updated throughout the day with regular photos and log times of feeds, sleeps and nappies. My baby loves his time at Charly's and is always so happy at handover time.

Thank you Emily for your lovely feedback 💙
Our little girl has been with Charly's Little Munchkins since she was 7 months old, back in January 2021.
We knew from our first visit to the setting that it was the right place for us! Charly's is warm and inviting, and spotlessly clean. We loved the fact it was a home environment, with home cooked meals. It’s the perfect setting for our little girl - fun, safe & comfortable! 🏡
There is a great balance of learning and play, with both indoor and outdoor activities, and we love the beautiful creation she brings home. Her day is documented via the Baby Days app and we receive regular updates and pictures throughout the day while she’s there.
Charly, Clare & Jo are the dream team! They are all so friendly and welcoming. Alethea loves the big cuddles, yummy meals and messy play! 👩🎨 She loves being a Little Munchkin!
We would highly recommend Charly's 💗!

Thank you Eli for your lovely review! 🥰💕
An amazing childminder! I am so pleased I chose Charly took after my first child and there was no other place I would even consider for my second child. Charly is so caring and loving. She keeps us well informed throughout the day and has the most lovely toys and activities ready for children!

Thank you for your lovely review.
Charly and the other ladies at Charly’s Little Munchkins have been looking after our little girl (now 18 months) for almost a year and we wouldn’t want it any other way!
Charly has provided our daughter with a happy, safe and welcoming environment for her to learn and explore in. She has come on in leaps and bounds with Charly’s support and guidance.
She has been a fantastic source of support for us as new parents, and phone calls and messages to support and guide us outside of our little girl’s child care hours is something Charly never makes us feel guilty about asking for! Her knowledge and positivity to help find solutions are invaluable to us.
The Charly’s Little Munchkins app has helped me adjust to leaving our little girl in someone else’s care and is updated frequently. I love receiving photos of what our daughter is up to! The activities always look so fun and I’m jealous of the fantastic array of toys and opportunities that the children are able to get involved with, as and when they please!
The thoughts to cleanliness and providing a safe environment are also plain to see (particularly important during such uncertain times of the Covid-19 pandemic) and have been approached in a manner which allows parents to not feel restricted but also secure in knowing the risks are being reduced as best possible without affecting the children negatively.
There’s nowhere else I would send our daughter and I hope Charly and the other ladies will happily take any other of our children in the future as and when they may choose to come along!
Thank you Charly, Clare and Jo xxx
