We have been with Karen for five years now, for both of my children (son, aged six, daughter, aged three) and have had a very positive experience. She has been excellent with my young children and provided a very loving, nurturing and varied environment - like a home from home.
Both of them enjoy going as she has lots of fun toys and is always doing interesting activities with them (baking, painting, modelling clay etc) which they have loved.
She has also helped them out a lot with learning and I get lots of updates and records of their achievements, which I have found hugely valuable.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, and we are very sad that we'll have to leave (due to school location/pick-ups) in September, although hoping that we'll still use Karen during holidays when we can.
