Karima is a fantastic childminder. I marvel at how she has the energy and enthusiasm to care for her group. My son is an active boy and he loves all the activities and trips Karima plans. She supports him in his learning and allows him the time and space to be himself, he is truly thriving in her care. I highly recommend Karima.
I moved to the area 18 months ago, Karima helped the whole family settle with her kind nature.

My daughter who is autistic and dyslexic loved the care she received. Karima's care and understanding of my daughters needs has been amazing. She has always ensured that her needs where met and at times has gone over and above in her approach to supporting her. She is keen to work with parents to ensure children feel secure and safe in her care. After school care is carefully structured with the needs of children at the centre, meals are nutritious with children's allergies, etc taken into consideration, her home is a lovely environment and after school activities chosen are fun but at the same time stimulating for children. I highly recommend Karima, the only reason my daughter is no longer with Karima is due to a change in school placement

I've known Karima for 10+ years, she's always been child focused, with her teaching experience and natural maternal instincts she is my first choice with looking after my little one.
She shares similar values to me with gentle approaches to supporting children to flourish and learn. The food she cooks is healthy and all home made.
Her house is immaculate and there is a spacious sunny garden. Karima has plenty of equipment and ideas for fun and educational activities.
Highly recommended.

I've known this lady for years she is very experienced in childcare. She is extremely nice and has a calming way about her and her home always feels warm. My daughter loves going to her house. There is so many fun activities and each day is very structured and suits each childs needs. Has extensive knowledge with new borns and older children. I'm currently on maternity leave but when I plan on going back to work I will place my son in her care aswell.
