she is the best childminder

Karen is part of our family, my son treats her like a second mother, he often comes home tired but delighted, in the morning he can't wait to meet other children. my son is happy in her house, he is delighted with toys, games and dancing. I am happy because I always get feedback about the progress in his development. She often checks the children's temperature, makes sure that the children eat enough, that they have naps at the same times. every day she takes the children somewhere, either to a playgroup or to the park or to the playground. I'm happy we found Karen and my son loves her 🥰

Brilliant active and involved carer

Karen has been our son Jack's childminder since he was 7 weeks old. It was very tough having to return to full time work and feel I may be missing out or that our son would not think of us as mum and dad, but Karen as mum and dad. This could not be further from the truth. Karen was part of Jack's life and shared with us his developments, with photo's, a daily diary and messages. She has cared for him through his ups and downs and helped developed his skills as he has grown. At the same time, ensured he knew who we were and we all shared in the caring.

Karen is very active and Jack has an amazing variety of activities each week, with plenty of 'chill' time when he just wants to 'be'. He has developed his social skills, confidence and awareness of his surroundings while with Karen. If he has taken ill, as happens with all children she would call and we could work out the best thing to do. She has been so flexible with us and our commutes and travel for work and helping us out when we got into a challenge where we needed someone to care for Jack out of hours. Karen's family are a loving environment for Jack to be with.

I can't recommend Karen enough if you are looking for a place for your baby/child to grow, be active, learn and have a wonderful fun time. I only wish we could take her and her family with us.
