Karen Co's Reviews

Friendly reliable childminder

We were very happy and made the right choice in sending our son to Karen when he turned one. He was happy and loved being with Karen as well as being a part of her family on his days there.

Karen has a lovely manner with the children in her care. She always seems kind, calm and patient with them and all the children are happy, well behaved and know what’s expected of them. Karen was good at getting out and about whatever the weather, she regularly took the children to national trusts, parks and in the garden as well as local toddler groups.

She has a great variety of toys which she gets out in rotation to follow themes and have educational benefits as well as the children enjoying their playtime. Baking, art and messy play are also regular activities which our son loved. Karen also sent home learning activities for us to do with our son. We feel he learnt a lot from spending time with Karen.

When we collected at dinner times the food looked and smelt tasty with Karen trying to accommodate everyone’s dietary requirements as best she could. The menus provided a good variety of nutritional snacks/meals.

We always felt very comfortable asking questions about our son and Karen promptly answered.

Superb childminder

Karen looked after our daughter for 4 years from age 1 to age 5. The care she gave our daughter was superb and I cannot fault it. She was great at communicating with us and we worked through everything together. She planned great activities at home and out and about.

Our daughter loved going there and made great friends and developed wonderfully well and was very prepared for when she started school thanks to all the work Karen did.
