Karen was my daughters childminder for almost a year, between the age of 1 and a half to 2. Karen invited me to her home to have a look around and to talk through how she works, she was very welcoming and my daughter felt instantly comfortable with Karen and her eldest son. I was given all the info I needed and felt happy to send ella to Karen even though she had never been away from me. my little one always came home excited and happily telling me all about her day and gave me paintings drawings cards etc on a regular basis. her day book was always in depth and updated for me to read which I enjoyed. I would certainly recommend Karen to anyone looking for childcare locally. ella still mentions Karen now even though she now goes to nursery! fab childminder and lovely lady :) thank you for all you done for me Karen.
