Caroline really is an outstanding childminder. She has looked after my daughter for a year and we will be very sad to say goodbye when my work comes to an end this summer.

So what's brilliant about Caroline? Here are some highlights:

*Safe home environment: Caroline's home is welcoming and totally geared up for play and fun

*Food: healthy nutritious meals eaten all together

*Daily diary: it's so lovely to know exactly what our daughter has done, eaten and felt throughout the day - it makes us feel really involved

*Blog: Caroline keeps a Blog of our daughter's development - I get excited when a blog report come through to my email and I get a glimpse of what the day has had in store for our daughter

*Early years development: Caroline is passionate about early years development and our daughter has really excelled and grown with her support

*Seasons: they embrace each season enjoying its colours, tastes and experiences

*Fresh air: whatever the weather they are always outside enjoying the environment, whether it's in the park or down at the allotment or just playing in the garden

*Routine: our daughter flourishes with routine and Caroline is great at keeping the kids on a routine attending regular toddler groups and play centres and even enjoying the school run

*Friends: our daughter is always talking about her friends at Caroline's and looks forward to seeing her little buddies after the weekend

*Family: Caroline's family is lovely and our daughter clearly adores them - especially Caroline's sons who are generous with their time playing with her

I really can't recommend Caroline highly enough!
