About Me

Spaces from September 2024 (funding accepted)


Hi, my name is Karen i am a ofsted registered childminder, ive just recently moved to the new Development on Great Haddon close to yaxley and Hampton, I live with my partner of twenty years and 3 children ages 26, 24 and a 15 year old.
I have been childminding for nearly 15 years and really enjoy it and the rewards it brings.
My days childminding are structured but flexible, on a normal day we would be out of the setting as i feel its important to offer stimulation and a variaty of activities to encourage development, we may go to big sky/activity world/tots group/ parks/story time, singing groups, bug hunting, sawtry zoo and various child friendly places. home for lunch( if weather is nice we may eat lunch out picnic/child friendly resturants) then afternoons are for sleeping little ones and quiet time for non sleepers.
Each child has a daily diary which informs parents/carers of daily activities/moods/sleeps and what there child has eaten, i also support there development and learning through play and activities that we do together.in and out of the setting.
I can offer your child a home from home happy setting with lots of stimulation and fun activities.
I have fantastic references from previous parents that have used my services.

Please feel free to call for a informal chat.
thanks, Karen.
