Hi, I'm Carol.

Welcome to Care with Carol Childminding 🌿 Welcome to Care with Carol Childminding, a warm, nurturing and homely childcare service where every child is valued, respected and encouraged to be themselves. My name is Carol, and caring for and supporting children has been at the heart of my career for over 25 years. Throughout my time working in early years, I have had the privilege of supporting children of all ages, including children with additional support needs. Becoming a childminder has been a lifelong dream, and I am delighted to now bring my experience, knowledge and passion for early learning and childcare into my own home. At Care with Carol, I want children to feel safe, happy, secure and included. I believe that children learn best when they feel loved, listened to and confident to explore the world around them. My aim is to provide a home-from-home environment where children can play, learn, discover, develop friendships and build confidence at their own pace. Every child is unique, with their own interests, personality, experiences and individual needs. I will take the time to get to know each child and work closely with their parents and carers to ensure that their experiences, routines and care are personalised to them. Play will be at the heart of our day, with opportunities for children to explore indoors and outdoors, get creative, enjoy stories and songs, investigate nature, develop their independence and learn through everyday experiences. I will follow children’s interests and use these as opportunities to support their learning and development. Partnership with families is also very important to me. I want parents and carers to feel comfortable sharing information, asking questions and being involved in their child’s time with me. Together, we can create a consistent and positive experience that supports each child’s wellbeing, development and happiness. My practice is guided by the Health and Social Care Standards, with a strong focus on children’s rights, wellbeing, dignity, respect, inclusion and having their voice heard. Most importantly, I want every child who comes through my door to know that they are important, listened to and cared for. Thank you for considering Care with Carol Childminding. I look forward to getting to know you and your family and hopefully welcoming you into my little childminding family. 💛 Carol x
