Karen has looked after both my children on an after school basis for nearly a year and will continue to childmind for my son now that my daughter has gone off to High School.

Karen is a very kind and caring childminder who holds the highest standards of childcare. Both my children love being at Karen's and even though they are a bit older Karen connects with them brilliantly. I feel totally happy and confident being at work knowing both my children are being cared and nurtured for by Karen. My son has some medical issues and Karen is always very conscientious and supportive of these.

Karen regularly reviews all aspects of my children's needs and care with me on a regular basis and also asks how she can support their development needs.

If I asked my children what they love most about Karen it would probably be the amazing home cooked food she provides and has managed to get my children to eat things they flatly refused for me!!

I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Karen
