Karen looked after our daughter from when she was 8 months old until she went to preschool. She formed a really close bond with her and had a lot of fun with the friends she met there. Karen takes the children on great trips to museums, farms and locally to groups as well as having great premises at her home with a garden that the children enjoyed a lot.
I knew I didn't have to worry at all when my daughter was with Karen, she was really well cared for, fed healthy food and I'd often receive photos of what they were up to during the day. Whenever she could Karen was flexible and during school holidays was also able to look after my son, who had lots of fun there playing with Karen's daughters. My daughter even had a sleepover at Karen's once and it was great to know she was in safe hands!
Taking on a childminder is a bit like extending your family and we were relieved and delighted when we found someone we were so happy with to look after our daughter. It's been sad moving on from Rainbow EYES but I think Karen will be part of our lives for a long time!
