Karen and Ian are the most amazing child minders, they have been caring for my little girl since august now and her development in every aspect has come in massively. My little girl absolutely loves being in their care and often refuses to leave when I collect her at the end of the day, I couldn't think or two lovelier people to leave her with.

Thank you Chloe , it’s been a pleasure working with you all x
Karen is an amazing childminder! I count myself extremely fortunate to have had her look after my little girl.
When she started with karen she was very difficult to settle and a bit if a fussy eater, karen managed to sort her routine out and get her eating better.
I have always felt confident that my daughter was in the best possible hands.
I cannot say enough good things about karen!
