My husband and I have used Karen and Alex for 2 years now and honestly couldn’t rate them highly enough. We found them when going back to work after having my son. As I’m sure many can relate to, leaving your child to go back to work is a horrible feeling. Karen made us feel relaxed, with constant updates and photos of what he was up to. She didn’t mind me ‘torturing’ her to see how he was throughout the day.

My son loves going to spend time there; from toddler group to parks & picnics, they are always entertained. Karen’s own children are so good with the different ages that attend her facilities (there is a purpose-built nursery and covered park area, as well as a big garden, so the children are always busy). They also do a wide-range of activities from painting to exercising to arts and crafts.

If you are looking for a professional, happy, loving childminder, Karen and Alex are definitely the ones. I couldn’t thank them enough for the care they have given our child. We are moving to another country and hope to get someone as reassuring and supportive as Karen.
