Reviews
“Steph is both experienced and professional in her approach to Early Years. She has a thorough knowledge of the Ofsted Inspection process, and how to prepare settings, but also to challenge decisions that do not reflect the evidence submitted. She has grown enormously since I first met her nearly 8 years ago when she just operated one Outstanding setting from home to now owning a number of settings and offering a valuable service to fellow Owners and Managers. She maintains a supportive network within the Early Years community and is a practical hands on leader. If you need that nudge, some honest feedback and support, and someone who can tell you straight, then Steph Carter is the person to call.”

“If you have a nursery setting up’t norf then consider getting in touch with Steph Carter for Early Years help. Straight talking and a nonsense approach.”

Why I choose Steph: I am new to the nursery world only been open a year. We have our first inspection due at 30 months. I contacted Steph to come in and check we were on the right path. I’ve never owned a nursery before so wanted some guidance from someone who had lots of experience to mentor me. Steph came month after month and has gone over everything with me, from paperwork to learning walks. We listen to her ideas and put them into place. She comes back and checks we have a good understanding and have embedded it into our practice then we move on to the next step. We really look forward to Steph coming, she is so lovely and approachable. I was a little worried when I contacted her, but she put us at ease straight away. We feel so much more confident now and know we will be ready on Ofsted day.“
“I have been gaining invaluable support and information from Steph over a couple of years now. As a multi site operator in the early year’s, Steph has seen and done most things that a nursery owner has to deal with. Steph’s advice is always based on experience, well thought out, no messing about but whilst using a calm head. If you are new to the sector, looking to expand or just feel you need another owners point of view then Steph is your person.”
“Steph has gathered a wealth of knowledge over her years in childcare and is always on hand by phone when we need any help and advice. I would definitely recommend her consultancy service.”
