I can highly recommend Carol as a childminder. My younger child (aged 1) is with her 3 days a week, and is very happy. She enjoys the wide range of activities Carol does with her, and is clearly really settled and secure in the environment Carol provides. My older child (picked up after school) is also really happy there, and I'm particularly impressed with how calm the environment is, even when there are a few children around. Finally, carol provides lovely touches - eg a calendar at Christmas with photos and artwork - so much more personal than when my older child was at nursery. I am very happy all round with the service provided by Carol.
