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.
