My daughter started in Karen’s setting just after turning 8 months old. After just one visit to the setting I knew my daughter would thrive and love the environment Karen provides.
The daily updates and pictures I receive after every session made my return back to work so much easier as I could see my daughter loved being at the setting and was so content. As soon as my daughter could walk she would run to the front door and would be so eager to go and play and that confirmed to me that Karen’s setting was the one for us.
Karen often takes the children out to the park, the beach and meets up with other childminders, this was a huge factor as to why I chose Karen as I didn’t want my daughter to have some of the restrictions you would find in a nursery setting. Karen also keeps me up to date with all the educational activities my daughter does through videos and my daughter comes home with drawings that we keep and will repeatedly tell me about what she has learnt that day. My daughter will wake up every morning and ask if she is going to Karens and will get upset if I tell her she isn't going.
Karen has done everything in her power to make sure me and my daughter have been supported with the obstacles we have faced in the last 2.5 years. My daughter developed a medical condition and after every hospital appointment Karen has always messaged to see how things have gone and if there’s anything she could do to support us. Karen has also been there to support me and often sends me resources that she knows will benefit both me and my daughter. It’s the little things like this that show just how much Karen cares for the children but also the parents.
My daughter loves everyone at the setting and I couldn’t be more grateful to Karen for everything she has done for me and my daughter. She has been the biggest blessing to our lives and I could not recommend her enough.
