Sam has only spent a short time with Karen but in that time I have been completely confident that he is exactly where he should be. I have been able to leave him there without a single doubt in my mind that Karen is the perfect match for Sam's bubbly and chatty personality.
Karen is calm and nurturing as well as able to provide a warm and homely environment that is packed with child-friendly fun! The outing and play dates he goes on provide him with the important social skills whilst the free play aids his physical and mental development.
Sam is happy and loved in Karen's care and he always has a smile on his face when he sees her on a morning! At only 10 months old, he settled in beautifully; no doubt because of the warm and caring temperament of Karen.
Her use of the Babydays app is fantastic as it's kept right up to date and means I can look at what's he's up to and any important information can be acquire wherever I am.
I can get quite jealous of all the fun they get up to whilst I'm working!
Snap this lady up as your childminder ASAP! You'll only regret it if you don't!

Lily has been going to Karen's since she was 9 months old and is now 2.5 yrs old. She thoroughly enjoys her time with Karen and has made some friends that she always talks about when she comes home. I highly recommend Karen and all that she does for the children in her care.

Karen is more than I ever could have hoped for in a childminder.
As a first time mum I was nervous about leaving my daughter to go back to
work but Karen has made the process so much easier than I expected. She is
kind and caring but also pragmatic with a completely down to earth approach.
My daughter and the other children clearly have fun in her care, but this
isn't at the expense of discipline or manners - Karen strikes an excellent
balance between the two, as is made even more evident by just how polite
and kind her own children are!
With Karen I feel completely confident that my daughter is in the best of
hands and that she is cared for as part of the family. We are very lucky to
have found her!
