I have been using Karen since September 2019 and I cannot thank her enough for making a heart jerking time so much easier. My now 2 year old absolutely loves Karen and has excepted her as part of our family. When picking her up she always has a smile on her face and in her own way tells me what she’s been doing whether it’s splashing around in water, drawing,painting or playing with the huge choice of toys she has available. I pack my Daughter her own lunch and snacks for the day but Karen will quite often let me know if she’s had something Karen has had.
I cannot thank her enough my Daughter loves Karen and the time she spends with her. Overall fantastic warm caring childminder.
