We cannot recommend Karen highly enough! As an ex-primary teacher with extensive early years experience, Karen strikes the perfect balance between fun and early childhood education. The children are always learning through play, and she has instilled a real love for reading and learning in our little boy who at two years old comes home so excited to show off his counting or recognition of shapes.

Karen puts so much effort into creating an engaging environment and takes the kids out on outings every single day - our son has been to every zoo, park, play area, woodland in South East London! She also prepares home-cooked, nutritious meals that they love which is a huge bonus for parents who work full time.

What sets Karen apart is her genuine care for the children's emotional wellbeing and looks after them as if they were her own. I know our son is truly listened to, spoken to with respect and happy, and well cared for. Karen is also wonderful with parents and always open, attentive, and receptive to any concerns. When we asked her to turn our son's car seat around, she did so without hesitation.

We feel so lucky to have found Karen and couldn't ask for a better person to look after our little boy!
