Karen has been looking after our daughter since 9 months old and we have always felt she has been extremely well cared for. We feel our child is safe and offered a wide variety of activities to assist with learning and having fun. We trust Karen completely.
We will be so sad to leave Karen when our daughter starts school in September and would have no hesitation in recommending her if you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, caring and fun setting for your child.
