Accept 2,3 and 4 year old funding
Spaces available
Hello my name is Karen Flory. I am live in Morden with my husband, two sons, a daughter and a cavapoo dog. I am a registered childminder with 20 years of experience in childcare from birth upwards. I am welcoming, caring and warm towards children. We enjoy attending toddler groups, parks, farms and the library. We also love to get messy at home with painting, play dough and cooking!,
When I am not child minding I enjoy spending time with my children taking them to groups and meeting up with friends. I also enjoy listening to music and shopping.
My Experience
I have an ADCE, NNEB, CCE qualification. I have been a nanny for 7 and a half years before taking maternity with my third child. Before I became a nanny I was a deputy in a day nursery. I regularly babysit for different families. After having my third child I decide to do slightly different so I registered as a childminder which I have been for the past 7 years.
I have experience with children who have ASD, ADHD and speech delay.
My Qualifications
I have a adce, nneb and a cce in child care. I also have updated my first aid.
My Availability
I am available for child minding and for babysitting in the evenings and Saturday evenings. I also offer 2, 3 and 4 year old funding through my childminding business.

I discovered Karen after my daughter had difficulty adjusting to Nursery. Within just a few days, Karen's gentle nature helped my daughter feel comfortable and at ease. Now, she runs into Karen's home as if it's her own. Karen keeps me informed with numerous pictures that showcase the wonderful activities my daughter engages in while under her care.
Karen is compassionate and empathetic, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.

My boy started with Karen and I was really worried as he was very shy little boy but as soon he started with her he was very happy to go back again. She is really good with him and he enjoyed going with her. Unfortunately now we had to stop going (summer holiday) and he is still asking when he is going back. He absolutely love her and will be missing her a lot. I would highly recommend her to anyone as she is the best.

My daughter started with Karen shortly after her 1st birthday. Karen is a very kind and helpful lady and my daughter settled in very quickly. The setting is well equipped with plenty of toys, and is very clean. When we arrive in the morning my daughter walks straight in without even a goodbye, then at pick up time she never wants to leave she is always far too happy playing with all the other children. I get a daily diary from Karen with what they did, what she ate, nap times and photos too. Karen always has activities planned whether it’s playgroups, parks or the farm. Karen arranges Christmas and Tea parties for the children to celebrate throughout the year. Karen is so thoughtful they celebrated my daughter’s birthday, made her a cake and sent her home with a card and present.
I couldn’t recommend Karen enough as a childminder, my daughter loves it there. It really is a home from home atmosphere.

Karen has looked after my 7 year old and 4 year old on an ad hoc basis after school when my regular nanny has been unavailable. She is a lovely kind, warm and gentle lady and my children warmed to her immediately. Her house is clean and well-equipped with lots of lovely toys - neither of my children want to leave at pick up time! My children have really enjoyed their meals there and had enough to eat (they both have hollow legs!). Karen is able to adapt activities to suit the interest of the children and my daughter has loved helping her to cook. Karen is very thoughtful and even made a cake, which my daughter loved decorating, when she was looking after them on the day before my daughter's birthday.
I highly recommend Karen as a childminder and will continue to use her on an adhoc basis - while ever she has spaces!
