My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Karen and I have been a childminder for 12 years. I live in Misson near Bawtry in our welcoming and lively home with my husband and 3 children aged 15, 20 and 25( who now lives in London after finishing his degree). I love being a mum and childminder and being with children. Before childminding I was a primary school teacher for 18 years in which time I was the foundation stage manager, SENCO and safeguarding officer. I believe passionately children should be children and experience safe and fun times! I encourage creativity in all aspects of life and simply love any form of art! Play is the most important skill I can encourage in children and realising the importance of play in learning. Being outdoors is a must, plenty of fresh air, play and enjoying the world around us. All children I mind are encouraged to feel safe, secure, happy and part of my family.
