Caroline and Dougie have looked after our daughters for two years now and it's great to leave them with such loving and caring people, knowing that my girls with be in safe hands. From day one I was never worried about leaving the girls with them. Caroline will take the kids to local activities and they cook lovely meals every day. They are really flexible and always understand our needs and have looked after our daughters the way we asked them to (eat sleep routine). They are very organised and write a daily journal of what our kids have been up to. I would highly recommend them to anyone who's looking for a childminder.
