Like family, exceptional

My daughter Fiia has been with Karen since October 2024 when she was just 10 months old. My husband and I don't have any family in the area, so Fiia was a bit wary of strangers. But the first day she met Karen, she instantly warmed to her. Now, every day that I take her to Karen's house, Fiia reaches out for a cuddle and is always so content. I feel so secure knowing that Karen is looking after her. Karen sends me regular updates and pictures throughout the day, and lets me know if she has any concerns about anything. Fiia has been thriving since attending Karen's. She socialises well with the other kids, she shares, and she is always smiling when I drop her off and pick her up. I feel so blessed that Karen was able to take Fiia on and I couldn't have asked for a better childminder. We are moving away in June back to Australia and it was such a hard decision because I really didn't want to separate Fiia from Karen. I would recommend Karen to anyone and everyone. You cannot find a more caring, cheerful, trustworthy, thoughtful childminder for your child. If she has space to take your child on, do it, you won't regret it. xx

Fantastic

Karen is just fantastic with our boy( 15mnths),very flexible and always helps out if your in a pickle. Samuel will stay with very very few people and Karen is one of them. She will keep you updated throughout the day on how he's doing ect, we are very happy we found karen. Karen made us feel at ease leaving Samuel with her as first time patents it is never easy.

A++++++

My son Aulay has been attending Karen's since he was 4 months, he's turning 1 this month. My daughter Zoey also attended and still talks about her time there and how she misses going. There simply isn't enough stars to give for the care Karen gives to all the children. My sons face lights up and throws himself towards Karen when he gets to the door and I always receive updates via text to update me on how my son is doing. I will get texts to say when he's sleeping, when he wakes, when he's having lunch etc. If I'm needing an extra day when she has the space then she will happily accommodate him. Karen's is everything you could hope for in a childminder...and more!

Excellent

My daughter Zoe has been going to Karen for almost a year now since just after her first birthday. Zoe is almost 2 now and she is coming on with her speech and interaction amazingly. She comes home from childcare with new words and songs and always has fun with the other children on days out / indoor activities.

Karen is amazing with the kids and very flexible with hours. Ideal for me being a shift worker. Not to mention her very competitive rate.

I can leave my daughter in Karens care with absolutely no worries, Its a home from home environment and I like that Karen sends text messages through the day just to let me know what my daughter is up to. I know that Zoe enjoys her time at Karens. Her wee face lights up when she sees the other kids and sometimes she doesn't want to come home!

Karen is a godsend to me, I don't know what we would do without her!
