Wonderful childminder - quite simply the best

Karen looked after our little boy for the last two and a half years and she is, quite simply, brilliant.
She is the best childminder you could ask for.

She made our little boy (and us) feel very safe and welcome from the outset and this continued throughout his time with Karen. She really gets to know the children in her care, their needs and personalities, and really invests in their development. She and her husband, Michael, have created an incredibly warm, safe environment for all the children that they look after. They really do care about the children and it is a real home from home.

My little boy had all sorts of food allergies and she went out of her way to make sure that he had all the right foods in place for him to make sure he was safely provided for.

Her play rooms for the children are filled with wonderful toys and the garden is fantastic. She takes the children out on fun activities to farms and castles and toddlers to keep the kids busy and active, as well as colouring and painting activities in the house. She also sends lovely photos throughout the week to show you what your child has been up to.

We loved our time with Karen and we were very sad to be leaving her as our boy moves up to school. Karen and Michael have seen us through some hard times and we have really valued their support and friendship, with them going out of their way to help our family - going above and beyond.

I cannot recommend Karen enough and if you have the opportunity to place your child with her then you should snap it up.
