I would and have recommended Carol as a childminder to anyone. She has looked after my two children (one of whom is disabled) for four years now and I can not praise her and her husband enough. Not only are they brilliant with the children, and treat them all like they are their own, they have also been brilliant to me. They are flexible, supportive and always willing to help out in a crisis, of which I have had many!! It is a huge step entrusting your most precious 'possessions' to people who begin as strangers but they have become friends and my children certainly view them as extended family.
