Our daughter was with Karen from 14 months til starting pre-school at 3.5. As a Covid baby we wanted her to be in a small, warm, family-like environment and Karen provides just that.
Karens passion for nature rubs off on the kids and it’s great that although we live in London they get to experience being out in the green spaces, allotment and forest school as much as possible.
Karen provides a variety of healthy food and had my daughter eating all sorts of cuisine and veggies that we wouldn’t necessarily make at home.
Karen also focuses on socialising the kids with other childminders and their charges so it felt like the best of both worlds - a small, calm and caring environment but also regular exposure to playing with other groups of children like in a nursery.

Karen looked after my daughter from 18 months until she was nearly 3 and I couldn’t have wished for a better person to leave her with. She is so caring, open, honest and provides a stimulating environment for all the children in her care. She is full of energy and life and regularly takes the children on outings and does activities with them. She is obviously passionate about helping children learn and grow and I felt so secure leaving my daughter in her hands. I was regularly updated with photos and messages about how she was getting on. She also provides healthy, tasty food and looked after my daughter carefully in regards to the allergies she has. It is clear that Karen genuinely cares about the children and their families and is inspired to help people who need some extra support with their little ones.
I would highly recommend Karen and feel extremely lucky to have found her!

Karen looked after our daughter from when she was 8 months old until she went to preschool. She formed a really close bond with her and had a lot of fun with the friends she met there. Karen takes the children on great trips to museums, farms and locally to groups as well as having great premises at her home with a garden that the children enjoyed a lot.
I knew I didn't have to worry at all when my daughter was with Karen, she was really well cared for, fed healthy food and I'd often receive photos of what they were up to during the day. Whenever she could Karen was flexible and during school holidays was also able to look after my son, who had lots of fun there playing with Karen's daughters. My daughter even had a sleepover at Karen's once and it was great to know she was in safe hands!
Taking on a childminder is a bit like extending your family and we were relieved and delighted when we found someone we were so happy with to look after our daughter. It's been sad moving on from Rainbow EYES but I think Karen will be part of our lives for a long time!

Thank you so much for your kind review. I miss my little friend and am so happy she is settled into and enjoying pre-school. Such a privilege exploring, experiencing and learning together. xx
