Carly is everything I was looking for in a childminder when I began my search. She cared for my baby from four months up to almost 1 year. She’s very professional, loving, compassionate, kind and caring. Carly was very flexible and very accommodating to my baby’s needs. She has a great selection of toys and ensure each child in her care complete learning activities within their age range. She also keeps a daily diary of what my son would eat, drink and activities she did with him. My son enjoyed his time within her settings and I was very satisfied with the care she provided. I would highly recommend :)
