Karen looked after my little girl for a few months before she could start nursery. Karen had her from only 6 months old and my little girl has loved going to Karen's! She always been happy to be dropped off and had a great time at Karen's house. She provides a 'home from home' feel which was perfect for my little one as she was so young and my daughter had a great time playing, listening to music, being sung to and generally being looked after really well! Karen also provided food for our daughter which was so good as she got to try different things. Highly recommend Karen and thank you for caring so much! :)

Karen has been looking after Ezra (13 months old) for around 6 months now, 2 days a week. We can't ask for more! He clearly has a lovely time, always happy to arrive and always having fun when we collect him.
We wanted the opposite of a nursery, something less chaotic and more personal. Karen delivers exactly this.
Never more than a few children, lots of toys, lovely food and a very experienced set of hands. Can highly recommend.

Karen is brilliant. Our little one loves spending the day with her and has learnt so much through Karen’s attentive and playful approach. It’s a home from home environment and it very much feels like an extension of the family. Karen has helped us out no end, being supportive and flexible with days and times. She has so much experience, she can easily adapt to each child’s needs. We highly recommend!

My kids spent over 5 years with Karen, and I could not recommend her more highly as a childminder. My eldest started when she was 2.5 years, my youngest started when she was 1 year. Karen provided them with a safe, loving home-from-home environment, and gave them loads of attention. She always found them a wide range of brilliant activities to suit their developmental needs and interests, particularly craft activities which my kids loved. I thought she was especially good with little ones, and encouraging them to develop their communication skills. My kids also really enjoyed their meals there. Although they are both now at school, they are always very happy to see her again.

Our two sons (aged 8 and nearly 4) have been going to Mary for over 18 months now and we are all very happy with the arrangement. Our sons love going there and settled in very quickly. Our eldest son has a relaxed, supportive and caring environment to go to after school and our youngest enjoys endless games and fun! Our second son has Down's Syndrome and Mary has supported him with his therapies and - more importantly - has only ever seen him as an individual rather than a 'syndrome'! Mary is open, flexible and a wonderful childminder. We would highly recommend her!
