From the moment our, then 6 month old, met Carla and Luis he smiled and giggled with them.
They go over and above to provide a safe space for each child to learn and develop at their own pace. They provide regular updates and we always look forward to seeing photos of what they have been up to and the lovely food they’ve had to eat.
Their nurturing, genuine and happy environment has helped our son develop into a lovely 3 year old who was easily able to adjust to his next step into a preschool setting. We would thoroughly recommend Carla and Luis and are grateful for the time our son has spent with them.

We would highly recommend Carla and Luis to all. Our 2 year old daughter absolutely loves going to childcare and always talks about Carla, Luis and the other children with great joy. Carla and Luis have created a fantastic safe setting for children to thrive. Their care, passion and love is clear to see and we see them as not only amazing Childminders but also great friends. We cannot complement and recon them enough. Truly amazing people and at what they do.

Cannot speak highly enough of Carla and Luiz. From the moment our sometimes difficult son started there they welcomed him as if he was one of their own. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they often accommodated us when we were unavoidably delayed due to work commitments, etc.
Always friendly and loving towards us and our son and even having left now he still speaks about Carla and Luiz lovingly which is testament to their qualities as both childminders and people in general.
They often added lovely personal touches to their service on occasions such as Christmas, Easter and Mother's day to name but a few. These extra bits and pieces make what they do even more special.
We cannot recommend them highly enough and you would have to go a long way to find a more lovingly wonderful pair to look after your children.

Both Carla and Luis are absolutely amazing. They have been looking after our daughter for over a year now and she loves spending time with them. Often asking about them even during weekends. They have a lovely set up in their home, huge variety of toys and games. They are often organising various activities such as painting, puzzles, singing, Christmas party and so much more. First weeks are always stressful for both kids and parents especially as our daughter was only one when started childcare, but Carla and Luis had a very personal approach to our daughter, allowing her as much time as she needed to settle down. Regular updates and pictures made it so much easier for us - parents. Communication is always on point and we are receiving daily updates on what our daughter had for lunch and dinner. I highly recommend CL Explorers, it’s a happy and safe place for kids! Carla and Luis - we can’t thank you enough <3

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding care and attention that Carla and Luis from CL Explorers have provided for my son, Caspar. Their dedication and warmth have truly made a lasting impression on our family.
From the moment Caspar joined CL Explorers, Carla, and Luis went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and secure in his new environment. Their genuine care and attention to detail have transformed Caspar's experience of being in a childcare setting.
Carla's nurturing approach is evident in every interaction. She takes the time to understand Caspar's needs and interests, creating an enriching environment for him. Her patience and kindness have played a pivotal role in fostering a sense of trust between Caspar and the learning environment. Caspar is so happy when I drop him off at CL Explorers he even shuts the door & says bye-bye! This makes me feel so happy that he is so happy with both Carla & Luis.
Luis, equally commendable, brings an infectious energy to the learning space. His sense of humor is amazing & Caspar loves him. Both Carla & Luis send videos of them playing with Caspar & photos with regular updates throughout the day. Caspar is always smiling which is so lovely to see. Sometimes when I go to pick him up he doesn't want to leave as he's had so much fun that day!
What sets Carla and Luis apart is their genuine commitment to the well-being of each child under their care. They go beyond the call of duty to ensure that Caspar's emotional and developmental needs are met. Their open communication and regular updates have provided us with a sense of comfort and confidence in Caspar's experience at CL Explorers.
Their caring and nurturing approach has created a positive and supportive atmosphere that has greatly contributed to Caspar's overall development.
If you are seeking a childcare program where your child's well-being and growth are at the forefront, I wholeheartedly recommend CL Explorers. They have exceeded our expectations, and we are truly grateful for the positive impact they have had on Caspar's early learning journey. We couldn't have picked a better couple to look after our son.
