My daughters have been to Carolyn since they were 10 months & 6 months old.
We honestly couldn’t wish for a better family to help look after our children.
They are always learning through play and gaining new skills.
Carolyn also does an assessment based on age and ability.
There’s at least 3 staff which is rare for a childminding setting so the children can be doing different activities. We always have a bunch of artwork from them both which is always lovely to receive.
They are so reliable and so helpful if you ever need an extra day and they can accommodate.

Thank you Sinead for such a lovely review. A pleasure caring for your beautiful girls!
Our daughter started to be looked after by Carolyn just under 2 months ago and she enjoys every day in Carolyn’s care. She loves the social aspect of being with children of different ages and the home from home setting has allowed for consistency in her development. Carolyn’s approach to care has given me great confidence and reassurance when going back to work as she keeps me up to date with Thea’s progress throughout the day. Thea seems to have fit in very well with Carolyn’s family too and she has made fast friends with Carolyn’s three lovely children. The children are often outside playing (when we have the weather) and there are planned weekly adventures to different local places. I have seen the development in Thea at home and she even took her first steps in Carolyn’s care!
Great setting and great values helping us to bring up our daughter in the best possible way.

My little girl has recently started here, and I honestly don't even know where to start. She has progressed and met major milestones in such a small period of time. I couldn't have found a better childminder, Carolyn one hundred percent puts everything she has in to looking after your children. I haven't ever felt as comfortable as what I do leaving her within Carolyn's care. My daughter has such a fun time but she's also learning new things every day.
I can honestly say Carolyn goes the extra mile, to make both children and parents feel welcome. She treats my daughter just like her own and it's clear with how much respect my little one has for her. I feel it's really important in any situation to do with children you become a team, and with Carolyn's help and advise not only has my daughter progressed generally but also at home too. I'm excited for months to come to see her progress even more. Thank you ever so much Carolyn. Again highly recommended!

My little boy Jaxon has been going to Carolyn's since he was 5 weeks. She has taken amazing care of him and has helped his development. Her home is spotless and spacious and she always makes me and my parter feel welcome when we collect Jaxon.

My son William (now 14 month) has been in Carolyn's care since January 2017 and since then he has come on leaps and bounds. He was very reluctant to leave my side at first (as I was him) but Carolyn made the whole transition so much easier with pictures and progress updates daily. Now the little monkey gives me a kiss, waves me off and doesn't look back - off to play Mummy!
Carolyn's setting has a very warm and welcoming feel to it, her 3 children are an absolute credit to her. All very caring and polite, William loves them all dearly and they play so well together. It definitely has that home from home feel, which I desperately wanted for my little boy.
Carolyn has recently had her house renovated to cater specifically for the children, they eat all their meals in the dining room together, she has a down stairs toilet and the conservatory/extension is a huge play room designed for all ages full of educational books and toys. The children also enjoying playing in the enclosed back garden which is fabulous, William loves to play in the sand pit with her youngest son Elijah.
William has come such a long way in a short time and I feel like I've been part of it all - From his first steps, to now running around with the other children and starting to talk. Considering I didn't know Carolyn prior to her looking after William, I feel like I have known her for years and we regularly talk about William's progress. Carolyn is very accommodating and will always try her best to implement all the changes I request. Eg. Routine, nap times etc.
Overall I could not ask for anyone better to take care of my little man, she does a fantastic job!

Carolyn is an excellent childcare provider who I can strongly recommend to parents considering childcare for their child/children. My children aged 4 years and 18 months old have attended Carolyn's childcare setting for several months having previously found Carolyn's childcare provider advert on the Childcare.co.uk Website. Carolyn provides outstanding high quality care to my children in a family home environment that is tailored for children and their developing needs.
Carolyn's childcare setting has vast resources from educational books, toys, craft based activities, and garden play equipment. In addition to facilitating day trips for educational visits. It is evident my children thoroughly enjoy attending Carolyn's setting. The childcare environment is very clean and tidy and Carolyn always provides nutritious home made meals and healthy snacks to the children.
As a working parent with work hours being a District Nurse that have the potential to change on a monthly basis Carolyn's support is invaluable in facilitating my children's childcare, thus allowing me to fulfill my contracted work hours. I am regularly updated of my children's progress and activities they are performing each day, and my permission is always requested for any outings. Both my children had an introduction session to allow them to familiarise themselves to the environment and both couldn't wait until their full sessions commenced!
Carolyn's childcare is great value for money.The setting is OFSTED registered and Carolyn is registered as a childminder with Pacey (Professional Association for Childcare and Early Years) as well as been trained in emergency first aid. I consider my children and I very fortunate to have found Carolyn who's care and childcare setting provides a caring and nurturing environment to fulfill and develop my children's needs. It is evident my children are thriving under her care and teaching and I, as their parent, will always be grateful for her support.
