My son started with Karen and James at 8.5 months old, and gave him so much care and attention, he absolutely blossomed with them and before long looked forward to being dropped off! Karen sent me pictures of what he was doing during the day which helped me so much in those early days, I could focus at work because I'd seen he was having a good time!

He was always coming back with art pieces of various descriptions that he'd done himself, although I couldn't get him to do painting for more than 3 minutes at home, Karen would send me videos of him concentrating very hard and carefully doing his painting. I don't know how she does it. She would also include learning activities, for example around numbers and shapes.

All in all I would thoroughly recommend Karen and James to anyone, and I'm so glad we placed our son with them as I'm sure they've been a big part in helping him become a happy and confident child.
