Karen pratt's Reviews

Highly recommend.

My daughter has been with Karen since November 2020 when she was 9 months old. Kenna was lock down baby and both of us struggled with attachment. Karen used her expertise to make the experience of Kenna starting with her so much easier on myself and Kenna.

Kenna settled in very well with Karen and is doing amazing at meeting all her milestones. Her speech is great and she already started to get her colures and number. Karen allows the children to progress at their own time and rate through play. Kenna confidence around others has grown so much.

Karen been supportive with Kenna behaviour like normal toddler she tested boundaries and Karen advised and supported during these times has been better than our own health visitor. I can go to Karen with any worries I have about Kenna and she been great resource with her experience of working with children.

Karen always answers my messages on how Kenna doing at appropriate time.

We so happy with the service Karen proves we will be sending Kenna little sister to Karen.

Thank you Kenna is a delightful funny little girl Its a pleasure to be able to support you as a family and I am excited to welcome your next little girl to the setting x

Highly recommend

My son loved going to Karen’s and learnt so much both socially and academically. Karen is very professional and efficient and can not do enough for the family’s that she works with. Karen is very supportive and helps in any way she can very often going above and beyond her role of childminder.
Choosing karen as a childminder made my transition from maternity leave back to work very smooth and stress free.
The setting is very clean there is a variety of food on offer for the children and she has lots of resources to keep the children busy.

Thank you it was a pleasure to care for him, he made some great freinds and was loved by all the family.

Amazing childminder.. Would highly recommend

Karen worked at school when my eldest girls attended and was amazing then, so I knew when I had my 3rd little girl I wanted Karen to be her childminder.

Dolly started with Karen in September 2021 when she was 19 months old, she was a lockdown baby so had never been round other adults or children. Instantly Karen set my mind at ease and she was brilliant with Dolly. I know that Dolly is 100% safe at Karens every where is secure.

Now 6 months later Dolly loves going to Karens. She is treated like a member of the family, all her needs are met and she has so much fun. The change in Dollys speech and learning is brilliant already she is becoming a very independant little girl and her conversational skills are improving daily. She is given lots of chance to interact with other children both in karens setting and others like the playgroup.

I would recommend Karen to anyone who asks.

Thank you she has settled in very well and has fitted in well to the setting and has made a great
frendship bond with the other children.

Fantastic caring childminder

I've known Karen since my 10 year old daughter was in nursery, my daughter adored her then and still does even now. Mollie loves the interaction with the babies and Karen's environment is both warming and loving whilst still being professional. I couldnt recommend Karen any higher than I do already. Thankyou Karen from myself and Mollie

Thank you both, we all ove Mollie too she is a delight to have around.
And she is a excellent role model to the little ones.

Couldn’t of found a better childminder!

Karen worked with my autistic nephew in school when he was younger she would go above and beyond for him and had so much time for him he adored her so when I found out she was then working as a child minder Karen started looking after my daughter eedie she was just over 6 month and is now 17 month I wouldn’t put my daughter anywhere else! She is now so forward for her age and a lot of that is down to Karen and learning with her little freinds she always goes out of her way she would do anything for anyone and has helped our family out a lot we can’t thank her enough eedie loves her to bits and we honestly couldn’t of found better!
