Caroline and her family have been a huge part of our lives for over a decade. She has provided care and essentially helped to raise all 3 of my children and has been a friend over a childminder for many years now.

Children in her care are raised like a family and some still have a sibling like bond, even in their teenage years. My children still have the privilege of being part of this loving and caring extended family.

I remember being unsure as to whether a childminder or a nursery would be the better option, but after meeting Caroline and seeing her with the other children, I was instantly put at ease. I haven't looked back since and that was over 11 years ago!

The early years education the children receive is fantastic and they are more than prepared for school when they start. Caroline is not someone to stay at home and as a result, the children attend many groups, centres and outdoor venues, which help to encourage their social interactions as well as having fun!

I couldn't recommend Caroline highly enough.
