Karen is an amazing childminder and has cared for our daughter for the last 6 months. Our daughter has felt settled there since day 1 and all of her family love playing and seeing our daughter when they're there at the same time. Karen's home is safe, warm, loveable and friendly and im so glad my daughter has had the chance to be brought up in a great environment. She provides home cooked meals, takes the children out regularly and always loves a cuddle. She has such a big heart and cares for all of her children dearly.
