The childcare setting fosters strong bonds between children and staff, providing a welcoming environment where children settle quickly. A tailored curriculum addresses individual needs and promotes key skills for each age range. Healthy eating habits are encouraged through varied snacks and meals. Areas for improvement include maintaining a more organized learning environment and allowing children greater creative freedom in activities. The setting demonstrates high expectations for all children, including those with special educational needs.

5 stars

Karen has been looking after our daughter since 9 months old and we have always felt she has been extremely well cared for. We feel our child is safe and offered a wide variety of activities to assist with learning and having fun. We trust Karen completely.
We will be so sad to leave Karen when our daughter starts school in September and would have no hesitation in recommending her if you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, caring and fun setting for your child.
