Karen was our sons childminder for just under a year! From the second we met I just knew Karen had it under control! The change we noticed in our son was amazing, she's helped him with his speech, confidence, listening and everything else possible. He always looked forwards to his 'Karen days' and regularly asked in the morning if he was off to Karen's. He made some lovely little friends as well! Highly recommend!

Karen has been looking after my son since he was 9 months old, he is about to turn 3. He has learnt so much from going to Karen's and has gained confidence. He loves playing with the other children and this has taught him to share. He looks forward to going and always comes home smiling about his day. Karen has helped to toilet train and rewards with stickers. They regularly go on trips out, to the library, to toddler groups, to feed the ducks and various other fun activities. I highly recommend Karen.
