Karen is a fabulous child minder. She was recommended to us and we feel lucky to work with her. We were immediately impressed when first meeting her with how well she understood our son and the interest she took in him. It was the first big separation and this was taken seriously, she worked with us to create a smooth transition in the settling in, helping us all to manage this. He loves playing at her home with all her fantastic toys, and going on all the outings and adventures on the Heath, to Playgroups, the City Farm and zoo, and 1 o’clock club. He has made genuine friendships with the children he is interacting with, and has a ton of fun. Karen looks after him with care, paying close attention to his emotional, social and physical needs. He takes good naps with her, eats well and even tries new foods!
Karen is very accommodating and helpful. She keeps in great contact with us providing updates which inevitably show a fun day out. It is very special to receive the art work they make together, and the special book she puts it in. We can’t thank her enough for her care. It’s been a really good experience for our son, and for us as a family.

Karen has looked after our 4.5 year old for babysitting and childminding for three and a half years. She’s a dependable and friendly safe pair of hands. Our son loves her! Can’t recommend highly enough. Thanks Karen.

Karen looked after my daughters from when the youngest was a toddler until the eldest was a teenager, for six very happy years in total. During that time, they all formed a strong bond and the girls all talk about Karen very often and keep in touch with her.
Karen was a brilliant resource for us as, living so locally, she knew a lot of people and places to go to that enhanced their holidays. She took the girls on enriching and fun days out, often with other children. We were never worried about the girls' wellbeing as Karen was diligent and reliable. Whilst being very loving, Karen ensured that the girls were well behaved, respectful to others and, above all, safe. As they grew older, Karen became someone they could speak to and trust with their daily worries.
The girls loved their time with Karen and although they are very different from one another, they are both confident and well adjusted, which I give Karen a lot of the credit for!
I have no reservations about recommending Karen for child care. Please contact me if you have any further questions.
