My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Karen and I live in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire with my partner Darren. I have a son Ryan who is 32 and lives in Italy. I have been Ofsted Registered since 1996.
As a parent myself, I can understand the needs and anxieties you may have when leaving your children in somebody else's care.
I, like you, want the very best for our children, confident in the knowledge that they are safe, happy and reaching their full potential.
To ensure the safety of the children in my care, I hold up to date first aid, Food Handling and Hygiene and Safeguarding children certificates and public liability insurance.
My Experience
I provide activities that enable the children to gain rich experiences and learning opportunities as we follow the ‘Early Years foundation Stage’ (EYFS).
Flexibility - I work in my own home so can offer flexible and unsociable hours.
Real life situations - Allowing children to learn in a home from home environment where children learn through play and real life situations.
Adult child ratio - Children benefit from working in smaller groups and get more individual attention.
Although every day will be different, a childminder's typical day may include:
visiting a park, museum, library or playgroup. Arranging fun and stimulating learning activities, such as dressing-up, creative play, reading, and celebrating cultural events from around the world, providing meals and snacks for the children, involving them in food preparation and menu choices, taking children to and from school.

Karen has been looking after my 11 year old daughter since she was 9 months old . We moved out of the area for a short period of time and when we returned she wanted to go back to Karen’s . They are always doing different activities and making great gifts for all occasions and they love all the outdoor activities plus her lovely garden . Karen is flexible and more importantly my daughter is very happy with her . As my daughter enters into senior school she has ask to still go to Karen’s . I highly recommend Karen for her skills, knowledge and friendliness

Karen has been looking after my 2 children since 6months old. They are now 5 and 3. Karen is outstanding childminder, flexible and more importantly the children love her. Karen has a scheduled day, and we get feedback from her plus a book which logs all the activities and milestones.
She involves the children in making gifts at Xmas, mothers and Father’s Day. The dedication and thought that goes into these are exceptional.
I’ve not had any days where the children do lot want to go to this placement, more often than not they are asking to go or asking for Karen to pick them up. I can not recommend her skills, knowledge and dedication enough.
