Our daughter went to Carole when she was 7 months old until she went to nursery at 3 years. Carole and Dave were like our daughters second family as we didn't have any family close by to help. She loved going there and when she left to go to nursery she was a confident and happy little girl and that's very much thanks to the love she received when in Carole's care. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending their service. They were brilliant!

Carole has cared for my children when they were small. She has also helped out with emergency cover and during some school holidays.
She has amazing attention to detail and provides excellent care on an individual basis.
She is totally accommodating and makes everyone welcome. I always felt the children were happy with here and in very safe hands.
I would not hesitate in recommending Carole for her quality childminding services.

Carole and Dave are fantastic! Originally I was worried how my children would get on there (as they only go during the school holidays) but they absolutely love it! It’s like home from home for them!
We always get such a warm welcome when we arrive at the front door and the kids just go straight in with no hesitation whatsoever. I’m at ease when at work as Carole will always keep me updated with how they’re getting on throughout the day. Dave makes sure the kids get out and about which is great too!
I have recommended them already to my friends but would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for caring, professional childcare.
