We have been using Karen as our childminder for the past 8 years
Our first son started within the setting just after his 4th birthday, and our second son has been their since he was 3 months old (His nearly 3).
The boys were/are so excited to go each day, Karen only has to come to the door and my little boy's face lights up which I love.
Both myself and my husband work so there are odd occasions when we are late back, but Karen is always accommodating and understanding, and has been so flexible with us
Karen has so much patience (defiantly needed with our youngest) and enthusiasm for her job and such love for the children she cares for.
We get updates daily on what our son's behaviour has been like as well as the activities they have completed or groups they have attended.
We also get EYFS assessments which help us to focus in key areas should it be needed, and Karen is happy to help and guide us when we have had questions
Karen has given and continues to give such great support to myself and my family, she truly is amazing and we generally wouldn't know what to do without her.

We are really happy with Karen’s childminding services.Our son has now been with Karen for 2 years and is extremely happy to go each day and play with the wide variety of toys at the house and attend external group activities at the local playgroups.
Our son has lunch and dinner 5 days per week, which is always a healthy home-cooked meal. He eats really well at Karen's house, much better than at home.
Karen is a great communicator giving updates on his progress both daily with regards to food and wellness and EYFS reporting, allowing us to comment and discuss in person.
Her genuine care and compassion for his growth and development puts us at ease sending him each day and her recent outstanding OFSTED report couldn't be more accurate of the nurturing environment she provides.
