I really wish I’d found Carlie months ago because over the last year we have had a few different childminders that couldn’t cope or understand the girls high needs.
My girls really took to Carlie and her amazing energy.
Both my girls are on the spectrum and she totally bonded with them. They absolutely love her and always came home so full of happiness and smiles.
Unfortunately there isn’t many amazing childminders out there and certainly not ones that understand the needs and love and boundaries that the children of the world need these days. Carlie give such a great balance to all of this. She really is an amazing childminder.
I highly recommend Carlie.

Our daughter who is two, started with Carlie in June after a string of terrible experiences and let downs with other providers. Due to our emotional state at the time having been pushed from pillar to post, I was beside myself having to leave my daughter with another new person and new environment, however I needn’t have worried! Carlie is warm, caring and professional, she went through all of her extensive qualifications and supporting certifications/paperwork which gave me great confidence in her abilities and credibility. We spoke at length about her passion for a more holistic approach to childcare and education, which really aligns with our family values and focus on emotional development.
Our daughter was inevitably very upset on her first few drop off’s but Carlie did not put pressure on us to “drop and go” she gave me ample time in her home to comfort my daughter and explain that I would leave her now but return later. Carlie eases the worry throughout the day by sending updates with photos of their activities and adventures.
The level of thought and care that Carlie provides is wonderful and it’s very clear that our daughter is thriving there. One day I forgot to include my daughters evening meal and Carlie without hesitation offered to provide her dinner with her daughters, and then proceeded to send me an adorable photo of her absolutely made up to be having the same tea as the big girls (Carlie’s daughters) it’s these sorts of actions that really make a difference and we know we can always depend on Carlie.

Lilah joined Carlie in June, and in this short time, the care she has received has been exceptional. Lilah, who is naturally shy and reserved, has settled in beautifully, which is entirely due to Carlie’s soft, calm, and caring nature.
Lilah often observes her surroundings before gradually getting involved. Carlie respected this and was incredibly patient, allowing Lilah to adjust at her own pace. Now, they share a lovely bond, and it’s clear that Lilah feels safe and happy in her care.
We particularly value Carlie’s focus on children’s emotional development. She takes the time to nurture each child’s unique needs, which has helped Lilah come out of her shell and thrive.
As parents, it can be concerning when young children cannot verbalise their feelings, but Lilah’s actions and emotions leave no doubt that she is thriving under Carlie’s care. I’ve often remarked to Carlie how unbelievably calm her home always seems, no matter when I visit. The environment she creates is peaceful, and Lilah always comes home fed, clean, and content.
Another aspect of Carlie’s care that we love is her dedication to outdoor activities. Lilah regularly spends time exploring the woods, learning new skills, and gaining a deeper understanding of the world around her.
Carlie’s communication is also excellent. She provides regular updates and videos throughout the day, which reassures us that Lilah is in the best possible hands. We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness and care Carlie has shown to Lilah. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, dedicated, and nurturing childminder.

Carlie is very kind, caring and professional. Her home is beautiful and she clearly cares about the children she looks after. I’m so glad we’ve found Carlie to provide a home from home setting for our boys!
