karen sparks's Reviews

Fun, helpful and organised!

Karen has looked after both of my children full time since they were 11 and 9 months old until they were/are ready for preschool. She builds a great bond with the kids and keeps them busy at home with a great range of toys and away with visits to the farm, zoo and local woods. She provides daily feedback through notes and photos and is very organised in her management. The kids are always happy to go, they learn what they need to and Karen has gone above and beyond to be helpful to make sure the children gets what they need.

Amazing childminder

My daughter has been attending since she was 11 months old. The day I met karen I knew she was the right person to look after my little girl. I know when I drop off in the morning there day is filled with play, creativity, adventure, fun, passion, love and laughter. It's a home from home for my daughter and one that she loves going to.
I enjoy throughout my day the pictures of fun, games and learning I receive. I am so grateful to karen for all she has done for not only my daughter but for me and my other two children. Sparks childcare comes highly recommended for not only a childminder but a friend aswell.

My daughter loves going to Karen's!

My daughter loves her days at Karen's house and is so happy to go there! She has been going since she was 11 months old and I never have to worry about leaving her when I go off to work.
Karen offers a wide range of activities in a bright, stimulating and homely environment. Lots of craft and outdoor play activities as well as trips out to the park, farm and zoo - which my daughter loves! Great communication and I particularly enjoy the pictures and updates throughout the day.
I'm so pleased that I found Spark's Childcare and would highly recommend Karen!

Brilliant childminder

Karen is a fabulous child-minder.
All the children seem really happy and are really excited to get there in the morning.
She creates a friendly fun atmosphere which means I never have to feel guilty about leaving my little one to go to work as I know they will all have a great day.
Lots of trips out, lots of activities and a relaxed atmosphere.

Karen is also really flexible and will adapt hours at really short notice which has made things so much easier for me
I would definitely recommend Karen to any parent
