Karen's Reviews

We’d be truly lost without Karen

Karen is an exceptional human being who is nurturing, caring, and has an abundance of knowledge within the childcare profession. She helped us immensely in finding the right care for our son and has provided a safe, caring, and stimulating learning environment for him to thrive in for the past 7 months.
Karen caters for children with different needs and ensures they are well socialised and engaged in a variety of activities, both indoors and outdoors. She prepares and serves fresh, home-made snacks and meals which vary daily, providing a healthy and balanced diet for the children in her care.
One thing we particularly value is how Karen keeps us updated every day with our son’s development, including pictures and videos of what he has been doing throughout the day. Her communication skills are excellent, both verbal and non-verbal, and she always ensures we are fully informed about our son’s needs and progress.
We couldn’t recommend Karen highly enough. Her dedication, warmth, and professionalism truly set her apart, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found someone we trust completely with our son’s care.

We honestly feel so lucky to have found Karen

My little one (16 months old) has been with Karen for the last four months and from the moment we met her, we knew she and her setting were the right fit for us, and most importantly, for our little one. She provides such a warm, welcoming home-from-home environment, and my son feels really safe and comfortable in her care.

We were really nervous about starting childcare, as he would get upset whenever we left the room, let alone with someone new. Karen has been so patient, caring, and reassuring throughout the whole process. She always keeps us updated with his activities, how he has been during the day, what he has eaten, and how he has slept, and she regularly sends lovely photos and videos too. Seeing how happy and settled he is with her now shows we absolutely made the right choice.

My son also has three allergies, and Karen has catered for him brilliantly with a range of healthy and nutritious meals, which was really important to us. Her catering background and over 20 years of experience as a childminder really show in the care she provides.

Karen regularly takes the little ones to playgroups, parks, and places like Willows Farm, so they get lots of fresh air, stimulation, and fun activities.

We truly could not recommend Karen highly enough. Thank you so much for everything, Karen! ☺️
