We would very highly recommend Kelly and Caroline as childminders. They supported and cared for our young son for his second year and we felt that he grew a lot in confidence. There was always a sense that they carefully planned their days with the children, with a good balance of focused activities and playtime. We never felt that the children were just 'minded', but engaged with and led through explorations of games, imaginative play, art etc. which really fed their curiosity. He always came home talking about the day and what they did and the good food that they ate, as well as the wonderful connections he made with the other children. Kelly and Caroline were very careful and conscientious about his health and supported us whenever he needed additional attention. They were also very easy to communicate with. Overall, it felt like this was an excellent first step for our son out into a wider world of play and learning, that felt safe, considered and nurturing.
