We honestly feel so lucky to have found Karen

My little one (16 months old) has been with Karen for the last four months and from the moment we met her, we knew she and her setting were the right fit for us, and most importantly, for our little one. She provides such a warm, welcoming home-from-home environment, and my son feels really safe and comfortable in her care.

We were really nervous about starting childcare, as he would get upset whenever we left the room, let alone with someone new. Karen has been so patient, caring, and reassuring throughout the whole process. She always keeps us updated with his activities, how he has been during the day, what he has eaten, and how he has slept, and she regularly sends lovely photos and videos too. Seeing how happy and settled he is with her now shows we absolutely made the right choice.

My son also has three allergies, and Karen has catered for him brilliantly with a range of healthy and nutritious meals, which was really important to us. Her catering background and over 20 years of experience as a childminder really show in the care she provides.

Karen regularly takes the little ones to playgroups, parks, and places like Willows Farm, so they get lots of fresh air, stimulation, and fun activities.

We truly could not recommend Karen highly enough. Thank you so much for everything, Karen! ☺️
