My daughter has been going to Karen since September and loves it. Because we were home since March without any outside interaction, I was worried about her settling in but in just a few days, my daughter was more than happy to go and was all smiles when she came back! She has grown so much in confidence and her language is amazing. Karen really takes the effort to organise activities and crafts that the children love and I have a memory box full of beautiful things my daughter has made already!
My older son went to a nursery and I can honestly say that sending my daughter to Karen is definitely the right decision as she has learnt so much more. We will be really sad when my daughter will start school and we won’t be dropping her to Karen anymore.

My youngest child is due to be starting in September and I know I will have natural sadness leaving him on the first day, but I also have the knowledge that he is going to be cared after in a home away from home - my older boys (currently 8 and 4) are so excited for him going as they think it is the best which coming from them is my greatest reassurance.
Many years ago I sent my eldest child to a different childcare and it really was not good for him so I was worried sending him to Karen’s. However from the day he started there he flourished. His speech improved, he was social and just loved every minute even wanting to go visit on the weekends! Karen ensures they are ready for school with helpful little things you forget about as a first time mum as well as the essential things. She has so many brilliant ideas for activities throughout the day and they bring home beautiful pieces that the boys are so proud of and we still treasure now, what is even better is she also sends you photos of your children making them.
Upon getting pregnant with my second son she was the first person I told as I wanted to ensure I had a place. He has absolutely thrived there. His interests and personality is different to my first child but their love of going there is identical. She obviously has the key things she has to teach them, but she is such an incredible person she easily adapts her language so children of all abilities and ages enjoy all the activities.
What is also lovely is the range of foods she introduces my children to - it is true they eat better amongst friends than family! (I have had to text her for recipes on the weekend as my middle child tried to explain what he is wanting to eat) And when my older children return for the holidays she remembers what their favourites are (and any dislikes) and tries to add these into the week which makes them feel just as special as the younger children.
Also you see the love, friendship and respect that her own children have for each other and this sets an incredible example that my children imitated and as a result they get on so well together. (This has been an unbelievable asset over the many months we have had in lockdown and has made it a really nice time together).
I cannot express how grateful I am to have such a wonderful person look after my children!

Karen is amazing and I can’t recommend her enough. I was worried my baby wouldn’t settle following lockdown and not interacting with anyone else but he LOVES it there! He settled immediately and is full of smiles when I drop him off and pick him up.
He is so happy when he is there which is evident from all the photos Karen sends. Although he is only young, Karen has ensured he is included in all the activites and he thoroughly enjoys himself. His social skills have developed enormously, such a joy to see.
I can hand on heart say, that I rest wasy at work knowing my little boy is in such a safe and nurturing environment.

Karen open's the door to you with the brightest of smiles and wraps your child up in fun, laughter and love. It is a warm, nurturing environment full of little lessons and sensor arts and crafts activities. Karen is a member of the local Zoo so the children are always enjoying trips to learn about the animals and enjoy days out together.
The house is large and always clean, but most importantly it is always welcoming and full of warmth.
We love how Karen cares for our daughter and the laughs they have together. It will be a sad day when I wont be dropping her off to Karen any more.

Choosing Karen to look after my little boy was the best decision. Treated like one of the family, he made lovely friendships and felt safe and cared for, always enjoyed going to the childminder! Karen has an energy and spark which make her perfect for this job - always fun and child-led. I certainly recommend 😊

Karen has provided my little boy with premium childcare from 11months old until he went to Preschool. He absolutely loved being with Karen, he had so much fun, made friends and and regularly came home so proud of what he had made that day. I couldn't recommend Karen highly enough, she is caring, kind, full of energy and always has a smile on her face.

Karen looked after my little girl from 11 months old and still has her now in the school holidays.
I wanted my child to be in a family type setting which Karen provides 100%, she is always helpful with any advice or issues I was having with my little one and goes above and beyond in the service she provides.
I would recommend her as a truly caring and professional person who is an expert in her field.
