I remember the first day I took Jasmine (age 1) for a trial session at Carolyn's, she cried for the whole time, I cried when I left her and neither of us were sure if it was going to work out! However, four years on and the crying has most definitely stopped (well most of the time) and I now have to drag Jasmine out the door to get her back home.

She has built up a great friendship with Carolyn and has learnt so much from all the activities they do together and all the groups they attend. Which has turned into a confident little girl, with a fantastic vocabulary and a vast appetite for life.

It's now time for Jasmine to move on and start her new life in Ibiza, which is both daunting for us as parents but even more so for her but I feel that Carolyn has most definitely helped her prepare for this transition and she is looking for forward to starting her new school out there.

I cannot recommend Carolyn more highly she is a very trustworthy and reliable childminder who I would not hesitate to leave my daughter with, we will all miss her greatly - especially Jasmine!
