My Summary
About Me
My name is Carla, I am an Ofsted registered childminder and I live in a quiet little road in Egham with my daughter.
I am also a qualified dance teacher and enjoy working with children and encouraging them to grow and learn.
I like to offer each child a safe, loving and supportive home from home environment.
My Experience
I have been a registered Childminder since 2014 and have over 20 years experience of working with children.
I have a daughter (Feb 15) and have looked after both boys and girls of all ages ranging from newborn to pre-teen.
I have been childminding for a while now and love spending time with all the children making different memories. Every day is different, every child is different and every day brings a new learning experience for both the children and myself.
I love the outdoors and taking the children on adventures to local parks, theme parks and lovely woodland walks.

My two girls have been going to Carla for some time now and have really enjoyed their time there. I completely trust Carla to look after my girls. Going to work and having trust in someone to look after your children is a big thing and I definitely have that with Carla.
Carla makes a big effort during the school holidays to organise fun day trips out! This is always good for a working mum to see :). She also makes sure to update often with pictures.
She is wonderful with my youngest daughter who has asthma. She keeps me informed and is happy to give her inhalers when needed.
Carla has a little girl who is delightful and who my girls love.
Carla is also happy to help us when needed and has been flexible with timings to help us out.
I would definitely recommend her!

My little boy has been coming to carla since he was 18 months old. I couldn't be happier with how he has come on since going. He loves 'Ca Ca's' and has come on leaps and bounds thanks to Carla's help with his speech.
Carla takes the children out and they always have something to do it seems.
Carla sends me picture updates during the day to put my mind at ease.
She is flexible and accommodating to all our needs in terms of occasional extra days and changed hours.
I was worried about my little one having the same loving environment with a childminder as he has with me, but I needn't have worried at all, his instant cuddles on seeing her and the other children say it all!

Like many new parents we were so nervous about leaving our 1 year old with someone she didn't know. But Carla did everything possible to reassure us and our daughter that she would be safe and well looked after! Just reading through all her credentials will show how qualified and experienced she is.
The best review I can give is that it's been well over a year now and our daughter still loves going to "Car-Cars" and has made loads of friends. The kids do plenty of activities and go on regular day trips (which I was quite nervous about at first if I'm truly honest but with regular photo updates she makes you wish you were going too!!), the kids love it and they are safe and well looked after at all times!
Carla has very strong family ethics built around respect, kindness, creative and personal expression and good manners. All things we were looking to instill in our daughter.
We are so happy we chose Carla that I can't imagine our daughter with anyone else.

Carla looked after my little boy.
She has been fantastic with him and his development.
Always had fun activities and exciting days planned for them.
She genuinely gave him a kind, loving home away from home. I am so sad he has had to start school and not see Carla every day but I know we will keep in touch.
5 stars doesn't do Carla Justice
