Caroline’s child care is the perfect place to send your children. My two girls have told me about all the fun and excitement they have here and are always asking when they can next go. The activities they do always show me the positive influence on the girls as they show me what they learn when we get home, from maths and dances, they are always eger to try and teach me to. All the staff are extremely friendly and caring for all the children and tell me all about the games they play. This is the perfect environment for children to grow as it helps the create friendships between the children and stimulate them to take part in anything presented to them. One of my girls is leaving and the way Caroline shows her care and affection towards those moving to school is truly heartwarming, I could not tell you about any problems I have faced since coming here and I could not recommend it enough.

Caroline took my 3 years old daughter under her wings and groomed her with the best behaviors & manners. Worked on her assertive-side, and built more confidence. Food, health & safety are bang on at her place. All her support staffs are equally qualified and have warm personalities.
Mostly we have to DRAG OUR DAUGHTER OUT IN THE EVENING, she loves it there so so much.
Through her, both my daughter and I have built some amazing friendships and an outstanding support system.
We as a family are extremely overwhelmed with the care & love she & her associates have showered on our daughter in these 4 years. And from the smile of all children, it is evident to other kids as well.
Highly recommended.

My 2 year old daughter has been with Caroline for the last 18 months and I cannot recommend her setting enough. Sadly we’ve had to move on due a change in personal circumstances, but I felt I owed to Caroline and her team to say what a wonderful job they do.
My daughter is a happy, confident and social little girl and I attribute this to the care she has received in such a positive and friendly environment.
