My Summary
About Me
Hi thank you for viewing my profile. My name is karen and I have been an Ofsted registered childminder for 9 years in July 2019. I live with my 2 sons and my husband. Im located within the Hopwood Heywood area. I have thoroughly enjoyed working as a childminder over the years working closely with families that have become friends.
My Experience
I have experienced working with children for 18 years. Firstly as a mum , providing unconditionally love & care highlighted my passion and interest to work with children . I have worked in various job roles starting off as a lollipop lady safely crossing the children to school. I decided to further my career as a Teaching Assistant within an outstanding school. I worked one to one for 4 years and became a TA in the nursery for 2 years supporting Early Years within the EYFS. Working with small children highlighted my passion to become a childminder. I registered as a childminder in 2013 and received a grade 'Good' . I built up my business as a childcare provider attended lots of courses including safe - guarding child Protection, Food Hygiene, First -Aid , funky fingers, fun with phonics work shops, high 5 , Early Help Assessments & lots more whilst attaining my qualification in CACHE level 3 Diploma for children's and Young People's Workforce and level 3 in Speech & Language support 3-5s . I had my second ofsted inspection in July 2017 and was awarded an 'Outstanding' grade. Please feel free to view my inspection via ofsted website karen Brown.

Karen is absolutely brilliant at her job, my son adores her and really enjoys being with Karen and the other children. My son has learnt so much being with Karen and his confidence just keeps on growing. They go on lots of different adventures and learn new things on a daily basis.
Karen goes above and beyond for the children in her care, I wouldn't have my son anywhere else. The setting that she offers the children is clean and very inviting, even I don't want to leave sometimes.
I honestly cant praise her enough, her patience is endless. Not only does she offer education and learning she also offers love and support to the children in her care, what more could a mother ask for.

I have had Karen as my childminder since my eldest was 5 she is now 12, an left Karen but my youngest is 3 an been with Karen since a baby. Karen is loving trustworthy treats them like they were her own. Nothing is to much trouble they have every day planned with fun learning everything a child needs including plenty of local activities an further afield. I would not hesitate to recommend Karen as a 1st class childminder. I am so thank full daily for the patience Karen has for my minion 😂.

Karen is fantastic at her job. My daughter absolutely loves her days with Karen.
Having a childcare provider that genuinely loves her job, gives 100% and is always proactive is priceless.
I never have any concerns when my daughter is with Karen.
I have watched my girl grow and mature whilst with Karen, her development is amazing!
We would be lost without her in our lives!!!
Highly recommended

Karen has been minding my two daughters for the last 5 years, starting as babies and now doing the school drop off and pick up. My children love going to Karen’s, and I am able to go to work knowing the are always happy, safe and having fun. Karen’s home is well set up for the children, clean, safe and with lots of educational materials. We are so lucky to have karen as she is a reliable, kind and compassionate person and I fully trust my children in her care. They also get fed far better at Karen’s than they do at home 😆
