When having to make the difficult decision to go back to work I knew this time round that I wanted to find a childminder rather than a nursery. I came across Carole’s profile and there was no second thought needed, that was where I wanted my daughter to be cared for and I can honestly say it was the best decision we ever made.

Our daughter was only 6 months old when she first started going to Carole and is not far off turning 2. She had grown and developed from the baby she was into the outgoing little girl she is now, full of character, clever and independent and the credit for this is definitely down to the care that Carole, Dave and their daughters provide.

Our daughter loves being there, so much so she doesn’t want to leave some evenings. It is such a happy, loving, caring and friendly environment which the children all love, it really is the best home away from home you could wish for.

Carole and Dave are not just our childminders, we consider them to be our friends and an extended family to our daughter.

I would recommend Carole to anyone in a heartbeat. Sending our daughter here was the best decision we could have made, we are very lucky and wouldn’t be without them!
