I searched high and low to find Karla. It felt a bit like I was dating and no one was good enough. When meeting Karla for the first time, my daughter immediately crawled over to her and sat on her lap (something which she never would do normally with anyone as she was very attached to me) the garden is lovely for children and feels very safe. There is a designated play room and nap room which is also very important as my daughter is a light sleeper. She settled immediately and absolutely loves going to Karla’s. I love how clear everything is with Karla too, I know exactly what my daughter has been up to daily with regular photos, we have a nice catch up morning and evening and the admin side of stuff using the app is so clear and straight forward. I can’t thank Karla enough for making me feel so at ease knowing my little one is having the best time and like she is home from home.

We’ve been taking our baby girl with Karla since November 23, we’re very happy with the way she treats children, the activities they do and the way she communicates with the parents. She’s a professional and shows passion and commitment to her job.
We would highly recommend her.

My son is extremely settled with Karla and Lisa. He absolutely loves the trips and outings to local libraries, clubs and cafes and its so nice to know he is safe and happy. At Christmas he was taken to so many parties he still talks about it! The balance between fun outings and activites and also quiet chill time and crafts seems to be spot on and we are kept up to date throughout the day with photos. I had wondered about changing him to pre school in preparation for school in September, but decided against this because he loves it so much. I know he will be so sad to leave Karla and all his lovely friends (and poppy!)

I am sending my son to Karla during term holidays and she is one of the best childminders in MK. My son just spend less time with her compared to his nursery time, but still he keep saying that Karla is the best teacher. Also, when my son refuses to have his lunch she is kind of a person who will check with him again if he is interested to eat and not everybody does that. Even if my son behaves naughty, she explains to him very friendly and take care of him. These are just two things which I have experienced with her. But, overall she is one of the most loving childminder.

I started with Karla on a part time basis and eventually full time once she had the availability. Her location is extremely convenient for my family and my girls really enjoy being in her care. She provides an exceptional service and exciting activities that not only encourages learning but socialisation. She celebrates milestones and occasions with the children and ensures that they feel special on their birthdays. The children in her care are all like a little family and are very excited to get through that door in the mornings. Thank you for being the wonderful person that you and for providing such a positive and fun space for the children!

Karla provides 5* home from home childcare for our 2 year old. He has been with Karla for 16 months and has enjoyed every moment. As parents we love seeing the plans for the month and the daily photo updates, whilst the little ones enjoy the different daily activities. Our little boy has learnt so much and made memories to cherish forever.

My little one has been with Karla & Lisa since November and he loves it! Being a first time mum, I didn’t know where to start with looking for childcare and with specific days needed we were almost giving up hope when I stumbled across Karla’s page. She does gradual settling in sessions which make a massive impact on the little ones getting used to the setting. Every day we get updates on an app and pictures of the activities throughout the day. Karla & Lisa always seem invested in each of the children they look after and it shows the care and respect they take with both the parents and the children. I am so happy I found this childcare setting!!

Our daughter has been with Karla for the last 3 months and we are so pleased with how it’s going. Our daughter settled in immediately and gets very excited when she sees Karla. We receive clear communication with monthly plans on what they will be doing that month. I’m always so excited to see what my daughter has created and brought home. We receive several photos daily to show us what they get up too. Karla has made a great impact on my daughter’s development and we are very greatful for all she does. Highly recommend 😊.

Karla is one of the kindest souls. She makes a home from home environment for her children. She always keeps us updated as parents & I trust her with the care of my son with no concerns at all. She plans fun activities both educational & adventurous. She has a wonderful group of children who are kind, polite and she ensures a safe environment.
I am a faffer when it comes to questions and knowing everything about my son but she is always patient, kind and understanding and supports our routine and questions day and night.
Five star ⭐️

Our girl isnt due to start until september but karla has been so helpful with everything. From the moment we went to view we knew straight away this was the best place for our daughter. All the kids were having fun and we couldnt get over how clean and tidy her house was. She has the home from home feel and we cant wait for our girl to start. We havent been pushed or forced into anything, she has been very informative with everything from days, trips, learning plan and costing. We have seen many before karla but would highly recommend her. Bring on september 😁
