My Summary
About Me
My name is Karen. I am 45 and a mother to 2 boys aged 23 and 15, so I have plenty of "hands on" experience! I have been CRB checked (enhanced). My home has been inspected by OFSTED and is a non smoking setting. I hold a full clean UK driving licence.
I work from my home in BR1. We have a lovely garden and plenty of room to play in our playroom! I offer a very safe, caring and homely environment where children are well looked after and cared for, and given plenty of opportunities to explore and learn through play. We love to play outside whatever the weather.
I implement a Gentle Parenting approach in the setting
Whilst needed, we take social distancing extremely seriously and have a number of procedures in place to keep us all safe. Our play space is separate from the main house and is solely for the children and I to use. It is deep cleaned daily.

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for KsHouse. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Karen has looked after out little boy since he was 7 months old and has porvided a nurturing environement for him to grow up in. A real home away from home. There's nothing quite like seeing your child happily wave goodbye to you as he goes off to childcare for the day, thank goodness there's no tears and he truly loves being at Karen's.
Found Karen approachable on all subjects, willing to deal with all of our requests (bottle feeding my brestmilk, logging feeds/sleeps etc on an app for us, cloth nappies). The garden playroom is lovely. She provides nutritous meals (for those big enough to eat it), she threw him a mini party on his birthday - we couldn't ask for more for his care.
We really cannont recomend her enough.
