Karen is a fantastic childminder. We approached her following a recommendation from a friend and she has proven to be the best person we could have found to look after our little boy. She always sets her home up with toys and games for him, even early in the morning, and she has loads of land around the house for him to play in. He loves spending time watching her ponies in the field, and following the kitten around! Karen also took our son to playgroup so he was able to mix with other children his age, and now that he has started school we are lucky enough to still send him to Karen in the holidays when we have to work. Karen has a daughter who is also brilliant with our son and he loves to see her. Everytime we drop him off, she greets him with a warm, happy home and lovely hugs. She really is the best childminder we could wish for. His confidence and learning has come on leaps and bounds in Karens care. Thank you Karen!
