Kar66's Reviews

Wonderful childminder who feels like family!

Karen has looked after our 3 children across 6 years, providing baby/toddler/preschool full days and school wraparound as our needs have changed over time. Her care for our children has been truly excellent and we have been so happy with the home-from-home environment she has created. She really feels like a part of our family.
She has a wonderful, designated playroom specifically designed for the children, with a huge variety of toys and activities. The outside space is also great, and she often takes the children to groups. The updates each day, and support and advice she gives, has been so helpful to us over the years.
Her dedication and amazing reliability (never takes a sick day!) has enabled my husband and I to focus on our jobs during working hours, knowing that our children are safe and happy. Karen is a real gem of a childminder who we'd highly recommend!

Amazing

We have been using Karen as our childminder for the past 8 years
Our first son started within the setting just after his 4th birthday, and our second son has been their since he was 3 months old (His nearly 3).
The boys were/are so excited to go each day, Karen only has to come to the door and my little boy's face lights up which I love.
Both myself and my husband work so there are odd occasions when we are late back, but Karen is always accommodating and understanding, and has been so flexible with us
Karen has so much patience (defiantly needed with our youngest) and enthusiasm for her job and such love for the children she cares for.
We get updates daily on what our son's behaviour has been like as well as the activities they have completed or groups they have attended.
We also get EYFS assessments which help us to focus in key areas should it be needed, and Karen is happy to help and guide us when we have had questions
Karen has given and continues to give such great support to myself and my family, she truly is amazing and we generally wouldn't know what to do without her.

Outstanding childminder in Wendover

We are really happy with Karen’s childminding services.Our son has now been with Karen for 2 years and is extremely happy to go each day and play with the wide variety of toys at the house and attend external group activities at the local playgroups.
Our son has lunch and dinner 5 days per week, which is always a healthy home-cooked meal. He eats really well at Karen's house, much better than at home.
Karen is a great communicator giving updates on his progress both daily with regards to food and wellness and EYFS reporting, allowing us to comment and discuss in person.
Her genuine care and compassion for his growth and development puts us at ease sending him each day and her recent outstanding OFSTED report couldn't be more accurate of the nurturing environment she provides.
