My Summary
About Me
My name is Karen Scott and I'm an Ofsted Registered Childminder since 1999, i display my certificate on the wall so any new parent can see it..I live with my husband Clive we have been married since 1992. We have 3 children Mitchell (1994) Paul (1997) and Hollie (2002). We have 2 small dogs (Cavapoos). I decided to start childminding when my son was a year old he is 26 now and i have never looked back, My daughter is 21 and loves the job i do always someone around she can talk to and play with. I find it very rewarding and enjoy my job very much. I have a spacious playroom full of toys, dolls, cars, lego, building blocks we do craft and messy play and a seperate area for quiet times. A secure back garden, with my own separate kids area with outdoor toys & playhouse. The children get to grow their own plants. I collect from Beaver Green School.
My Experience
Having 3 children has given me lots of experience.
At the moment I care for upto 5 children in the early years. Coming various days and times.
We visit the playcentre and local library. We go on outings to the park, Badgers Hill, Rare Breeds to see the animals & beach in the summer months.
We like to go to imagine playcentre where the children get to run around and climb. We go bowling in the holidays the older children have so much fun & even the toddlers were excited to push the ball down the ramp, with my help.

Karen is an amazing Childminder when we moved to the area from Birmingham we found Karen and she looked after our daughter who took to her straight away. We have since had another child and our son also goes to Karen too. He was a difficult child to leave but Karen was amazing and he settled in well and now loves his time with Karen! We will very sadly be moving on soon and will all miss her so much!!
