Charlene is amazing at her job. She seems to genuinely love caring for children and going out of her way to ensure all the children she is caring for feel comfortable and relaxed. I am a single father due to my partner passing away. My son, who was 3, when I first approached Charlene for her services, was very emotionally needy due to the recent bereavement, and Charlene gave him the care he was so much in need of. I highly recommend her services

Charlene was absolutely wonderful with my 3/4 year old son. She was his first ever childminder, yet he ran into her house every day looking forward to seeing her.
My son has behaviour problems and is being assessed for ADHD, Charlene was able to provide the right setting and structure to accommodate all his needs. She is patient, kind and has a loving gentle approach with the children, you can see this is genuine too.
Charlene's daughter is also a very loving kind girl who my son adored.

This childminder is AMAZING! I actually wanted to write a review from the minute I met her. Instantly likeable, great environment for children to "be children" in. So warm and my son took to her instantly. A true professional and has all the right safeguarding and other measures in place, yet so upbeat and such fun. Is flexible around your needs and of course your child's needs.
What dream! This is definitely a calling and not a job for her. Thanks for making our lives so much more manageable.

Charlene has been a wonderful childminder to my children. She is completely professional and very flexible which is a huge bonus. She understands how important it is that parents feel relaxed about their childcare. She always checks back and has excellent communication skills. I highly recommend. And she accepts childcare vouchers. My kids had a lovely time.

Charlene made my return to work sooo easy with her caring and outstanding skills as a childminder. She is loving, especially to the children, kind and professional. She is simply amazing. My son absolutely loves going there every morning. He has formed great relationships with the other children there including Charlene’s daughter. As a parent leaving your child with someone you don’t personally know is the hardest thing to do let alone as a first time parent but Charlene made that transition easy and smooth. She provides the children with a home away from home, a fun and educational environment. My husband and I have clearly noticed a lot of growth from when our son started at 16months old to now 33months old. You won’t find a better childminder anywhere else.

My wife deserves some free time, so we decided to find a good childminder. Like all the parents we were very afraid and uncertain. But from the first moment we knew that we will choose Charlene. She is calm, always smiling and know how to care children. And an important thing is that she has all the necessary qualifications what makes her even more reliable.
I'm sure we couldn't find anybody better. We are happy that Charlene is our babysitter.
Thank you, Charlene ! :)

Charlene has been looking after my daughter on a part time basis for 8 months now, since my daughter was 10 months old. As most parents would be, I was nervous about leaving my daughter at such a young age but Charlene put me at ease straight away with her friendly and approachable manner and my daughter quickly settled into the mummydaycare family.
Charlene is kind and professional, and has created a fun and loving environment for the children. My daughter's skills and vocabulary have developed significantly since being in Charlene's care - she is confident, friendly, caring and adores playing with all the other children, not least Charlene's daughter who is like a big sister. When I mention Charlene or one of the other children who Charlene looks after, it is often met with a happy cheer from my daughter - she is always excited to see them.
When my daughter has gone through changes in sleeping, teething or giving up her beloved dummy, Charlene has always been flexible and happy to assist in anyway possible which has made life a lot easier. She is also great at updating me with activities my daughter has been doing and created a fantastic scrap book with photos and personal comments from Charlene and her assistant Gemma - it is lovely to read and know your child is happy and having fun.
I would highly recommend Charlene and feel very lucky to have found her!
