Our daughter was with Karen from 14 months til starting pre-school at 3.5. As a Covid baby we wanted her to be in a small, warm, family-like environment and Karen provides just that.

Karens passion for nature rubs off on the kids and it’s great that although we live in London they get to experience being out in the green spaces, allotment and forest school as much as possible.

Karen provides a variety of healthy food and had my daughter eating all sorts of cuisine and veggies that we wouldn’t necessarily make at home.

Karen also focuses on socialising the kids with other childminders and their charges so it felt like the best of both worlds - a small, calm and caring environment but also regular exposure to playing with other groups of children like in a nursery.
