Caroline started working for me at a difficult time in my life, looking after my little guy and honestly she went above and beyond in all aspects.

She was so attentive with him, making sure to give him a variety of experiences from play groups, to gallery visits and trips to the farm, deep and so much more. She was also clearly focused on making sure he met his EYFS targets.

She took it upon herself to bring him toys and resources that aided his development, from loaning us a walker and ball pit to bringing in craft supplies. She was full of initiative in this way, even taking it upon herself to help me with my ever increasing pile of laundry while little man slept. She never liked to be idle and always liked to be helpful.

She was such a help and support to me in so many ways, not least her wealth of knowledge and we were all very sad when a change of circumstances meant we could no longer keep her on. She still keeps in touch with us and little man and it's clear to see that every child she works with holds a special place in her very big heart.
