Our 6 year-old daughter goes to Karen's house three days a week after school and has done so since she began P1. My husband and I are confident that each day our daughter is getting lots of love, support, firm-and-fair boundaries and has lots of fun. Karen and her assistant Glenn provide very tasty and healthy meals made from scratch as well and have introduced our daughter to new foods which she loves!
Karen takes the kids to our local amenities and outside activities in Tranent, too. Karen and Glenn have been so flexible when we need an extra morning here and there which is a great relief to two full-time working parents.
We have great peace of mind knowing our daughter is cared for in a safe and creative home each week. She loves going to Karen's and feels like part of their family. We wish we had found Karen sooner!
