My Summary
About Me
Hello my name is Karlie Bright and I run a home based childcare setting in Priors Hall, Corby.
I am 32 years old and live with my husband and 3 beautiful children who I adore.
I love spending time with all the children I care for and being a part of their lives as they grow up and develop their own little characters!
I offer a fun, safe and educational experience for babies and children of all ages. As a mum myself I understand the need for a good caring environment for them to thrive in, and the importance of each individual child's needs.
Please contact me for any questions that you may have.
My care facility is child friendly with access to a nice - sized garden.which is catered for all children, and a safe, spacious home.
I also live close to a park and woods which I take full advantage of! I also enjoy playgroups with the little ones and am a big fan of outdoor play!
I am fully qualified level 3 and a Therapeutic Play Practitioner, and was graded GOOD in my recent Ofsted inspection. I was praised for the setting I have provided the children, and my knowledge of safeguarding. Since becoming a childminder I have already been referred to by an Ofsted professional for fully funded higher learning and training into running my own childcare day centre, and working with other schools, which I was extremely pleased about, knowing all the hard work I've put into my business has been worth it.
I work hard to make sure I am up to date with all my training and like to participate in further courses to extend my knowledge and build my Professional Portfolio.

I have twin daughters who have been going to Karlie since they were 1. Karlie made the settling in process easy and was able to put my mind at rest (anxious Mum). I cannot explain how much my girls LOVE going to Karlie's. They have come on so well since going. Both have so much confidence, when they get to the door, 9 times out of 10 they just walk on in without even a goodbye. It's like their 2nd home! Karlie keeps the girls busy all day with lots of different activities, there is always such variety. My girls have been so happy there and the only reason they are leaving is because we are moving to a new town. I say to everyone, "if I could take the childminder with me, I would!". I honestly don't think we will find a childcare provider like this again. Karlie is amazing at what she does. Thank you so so much for everything you have done for my girls.

Our daughter has been going to Karlie's since she was 13 months old, and she is now just about to turn 3. We have not been disappointed at all, from never leaving our daughter with anyone before, she now doesn’t look back when we drop her off, she runs in with such confidence.
When we collect her, she is able to tell us all the different activities she has done that day, which cover such a broad range, they are always so busy.
She has come on so much. Karlie is very flexible and will try to always accommodate any needs you may have. We have already booked in our 3 week old son for when he is 9 months. Would highly recommend to anyone. Am so pleased we found her to look after our daughter, and son in the near future.

Our daughter started with Karlie a few months ago and it’s safe to say Karlie is her favourite person!
Karlie is so caring for our daughter and our little one is always so happy to see Karlie. She basically jumps into her arms and waves me off as soon as I drop her off.
She has been so accommodating when we have asked for extra days for care and nothing ever seems to be any trouble for her.
Would 100% recommend Karlie to anyone and we are so lucky to have such a caring and loving childminder taking care of our little girl :)

Alfie has been going to Karlie now for nearly a year altogether I believe and she is honestly amazing! She's very flexible and my little boy was so shy until he met her and has now come out of his shell! I could go on for hours but overall I am incredibly pleased with the care my son has received!

I have known Karlie a long time, since looking after my now almost 9 year old from 2 years old.
Karlie was amazing at helping us out with constant work time changes, she did everything f she could to accommodate our needs and will always be so grateful for allowing us to do the jobs we did.
Her development came on leaps and bounds & she loved going. We both felt so happy leaving her with somebody she loved and trusted.
Thank you Karlie for making sadies early years a beeeze (and for putting up with that sass & appetite!!) xx

I am a first time mum and was very upset about having to go back to work and leave my little girl. I cried on the way to meet Karlie but when I got there she made me feel so comfortable! I left karlie's house feeling confident and happy to leave Lilly with her (which is a miracle!) I got in the car and turned to my partner and said "we've found our child minder!"
Lilly has been with Karlie now for three months and Lilly absolutely loves It! She gets excited and greets karlie every morning with a huge smile - I don't think I could have faced going back to work if Lilly didn't enjoy going!
Lilly has developed so much since going that I can only put this down to karlie and the children she has there, with Lilly being my first and only child she doesn't get to socialise much.
I love the fact that karlie keeps in contact with both me and my partner through WhatsApp so we always hear how Lilly is doing, my partner and I even share development milestones with her when Lilly is at home - for example Lilly walked for the first time today and straight away I sent karlie a video, she was just as excited as I was! Along with this karlie keeps a daily diary detailing absolutely everything from how Lilly's behaving, the things she does, the food she eats, to how long she's napped or how many nappies she's gone through that day.
I honestly don't know how we would have coped without karlie and her amazing children (who are lovely and exceptionally polite and sweet) I don't consider karlie our child minder anymore, she's our family friend.
I would - and have recommended - karlie to anyone looking for a child minder.

I work full time and going back to work leaving your little one was very dreadful for me... but thanks to karlie.. she is the BEST childminder one can have. She is very caring, flexible and reliable. I never had to worry about my lil one once I dropped him with karlie( which I couldn’t do in past with other child minders) he likes going there, eats and plays better with her than at home. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for Childminder that they can trust 100percent

I cannot speak highly enough of Karlie. She has looked after my daughter for over 3 years now and I have never had any doubt that my daughter is in the best possible hands. I resisted having a child minder for a long time but when it became a necessity I knew from my first meeting with Karlie that I choosing her would be the absolutely right decision.
She is utterly professional but also so approachable and warm. My daughter was happy with Karlie from the outset and I have complete peace of mind when she is there.
I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for childcare.

Karlie has been childminding my son for the past four years now my son absolutely loves being with her, Karlie has always gone the extra mile, he enjoys her food, helping out with last-minute hiccups, making my son feel special on his birthday while I was at work, shes always ready to help. Every night when I pick him up she would give me feedback on how his day went. I couldnt ask for a better childminder.
