My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Caroline. I have been in childcare since I left college after doing my CACHE Diploma in childcare and education in 2001. Working with children is my passion and something I have always enjoyed.
Now I have 4 boys of my own who are at school now! They adore other children which makes my job so good, I provide a home from home experience including all the fun bits too! I believe in treating the children in care like they were my own by doing every day things, having adventures and exploring together.
Being a childminder means I can be there for my own children and do the job I love. Using all my experience from previous years in day nurseries, nannying and pre school I know how to use a wide variety of resources not just those around the home.
I provide a selection of different toys for different age ranges for free play with planned activities too, I also make use of the big world around us! From exploring the woods and our surroundings, to groups that provide interaction with their peers. I love messy play so we always have lots of fun, children learn so much through play!
I believe in spontaneity, planning each day around the children in my care, making sure they get the best experience and covering all the EYFS requirements and whilst ensuring the children get a stimulating, safe, and loving environment.

My daughter has been with Caroline and her boys since the beginning of the year and she absolutely loves being there and most days does not want to leave. Caroline’s is like a second home and second family for my daughter and the care she receives is outstanding. When we met Caroline with her husband and children we knew they were the right fit for us and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. I would highly recommend Caroline.

Caroline was our family Nanny looking after our 3 children aged from 6-months, 3 years and 5 years.
During the time Caroline was Nannying for us she devoted nothing but her time, protection and attention to our children and continually showed genuine love and care to them and her role too.
As a parent we always worry about what our children are doing and question ourselves if have we left them with the right people/person, are they safe, are they happy and are they being looked after how we would look after them as parents.... I/we never had to worry or ask ourselves these questions when our children were in Caroline's care. They were constantly being occupied, having so much fun and creating the best memories, and Caroline would treat our children and others like her own.
Our children were always so happy to be with Caroline, and they built such wonderful relationships with her children too.
Caroline's passion for childcare and genuine care and protection for children shines through.
We cannot highly recommend Caroline's childminding services enough.

By far the best childminder around, I have my 2 sons with Caroline, one full time 2 year old and one after school 5 year old.
Caroline clearly does this for her genuine love of children and their development which is very rare to find. Her years of experience and past work really do shine through.
From day 1 Caroline and her lovely family made my boys feel at home and safe. The children absolutely love being there and this makes life as a working parent so so so much easier, being able to drop your children off and not have to worry is great.
Caroline always puts the children first, they do tonnes of hands on activities, creative and messy play. I receive amazing updates and pictures. Caroline’s setting including garden is perfectly set up for the children’s needs and safety.
I honestly cannot recommend Caroline enough, if you want a genuinely lovely person who your children will love to be with you’ve found her.....
