Karen has provided continuous care for us since my son was 4 months and we would never consider anyone else having experienced such warm and welcoming care for the past 4 years.
We very much value the contribution she's made to my son's development in his early years, the activities she does with the children are age appropriate, engaging and enjoyable. We always get artwork, photos, homework from his time spent with 'Nana'.
He enjoys the setting, the other children, the food and the activities he does while at Karen's. She is definitely an extension of our family and we're grateful to have her support and guiding hand in my son's development.
I would recommend Karen to anyone looking for a reliable, supportive and professional childminder.

Karen has been my children’s childminder for few years. My children are now 3 and 5 years old. If I say she is the best childminder I have worked with, it wouldn’t do her justice. All teachers at my children’s school constantly vouche for her and say she is the best they ever dealt with and they would send their children to Karen if they had any.
Karen is simply amazing with the kids, she’s flexible, knows how to adapt her style to meet the kids needs and to ensure they understand her. It is also worth mentioning that the kids love her cooking! Especially her pasta, and rice and chicken:)
Karen is so responsive and engages with me whenever I need to discuss the kids, ans she makes time for that.
Karen goes over and beyond her duties and she does it with an amazing smile on her face.
The children love her and they love her daughter and grand children. I say it with pleasure that I consider Karen to be family.
I highly recommend her, she is just simply the best on all levels.

My now 3 year old daughter has been coming to Karen for the last 2 years. She loves it there, learns a lot and has a lot of fun. I like the activities that they do. My daughter soon will go to pre-school, but will always look back on a very enjoyable time for both my daughter and for me. in addition to the great childcare provided, Karen's communication is good, she is very organised and has helped me out a few times outside of care hours. Overall very good.

Karen has been minding my little boy since he was six months old. She has always been very caring towards my son and is a very understanding and flexible. My son always seems happy when we get to the house and excited to see her. I have been very happy with her as a minder.

Karen has continued to provide excellent care to my child whom she has watched from the age of 4 months.
He loves being there, enjoys his play time and has learned many of the early learning skills to set him up for nursery. He's counting and singing nursery rhymes with confidence and has developed confidence around any group of children and I largely attribute that to Karen's approach to interaction both with the children and their parents.
I'm purposely dragging my feet to keep him with her as long as possible, I value her efforts so much. I continue to rate Little Angels and would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and understanding childminder.

My son has been with Karen now for over a couple of years and during that time I've seen that he really enjoys his time with her, and that she is someone we feel we trust very much with him. He is always happy when he gets there and seems to be doing a variety of things to keep him stimulated and learning. We've never had any problems and Karen has always been really helpful and flexible whenever we've had any challenges.
I would very much recommend Karen

My daughter has been coming here for the past 2 years, and it has been the greatest childcare experience i have ever had! from the first day my child connected with Karen and was happy to be left. she is treated like an extension to the family which is great for me as I want my child to have a homely environment. At Little Angels they are Clean, Caring and helps to teach the kids in the early years.
Unfortunately I have moved so have to change provider but I am dragging it out as long as possible as I know this is going to be upsetting for my daughter.
This Childminder is one in a million.

I meet Karen 8 years ago when my daughter was 6 month, the first contact was very pleasant and we did not regret till today, as I now have my second at Karen’s. My Son enjoys karen house to the full.
Karen has a safe clean and tidy environment for the well-being of any child, she does a lot of activities with the children indoors and outdoors, she has a lovely park just next to her house which my daughter loved when she was a toddler and now my son also very much love their trips to the park.
karen provides fresh healthy home made food which my son loves. I highly recommend Little Angels childminder to any parent who is looking for a safe clean and pleasant environment for their little ones.

Karen has been watching our son for 8 months now, and has been a great carer to him. She's very easy to speak to and quickly and efficiently will address any questions or concerns. She's very welcoming, and understanding - and has been very patient with me personally while I adjust to being a working mum.
She keeps the children busy with various activities, and feeds them a variety of nutritious foods and is expanding our child's pallet with some home cooked meals he wouldn't receive at home.
Our child has been happy from day one at Karen's and loves going to play and explore in her lovely home, where he's encouraged to play with the wide variety of toys available. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy childminder.
