We started our 2 year old son at Karra’s after he had an awful experience at nursery and it was the best decision we could have made. Karra is caring, creative and really experienced with children of all ages. Henry loved it so much, that I even recommended Karra to my sister for her little boy. Henry did some amazing things with her, making Father’s Day cards and poppy biscuits, to name a few, and even going for a trip to the zoo. He also loved spending time with her older children in the school holidays and was treated like part of the family. She is also very professional and we enjoyed doing henrys learning journey with her, and loved reading what he’d been up to each day. I can’t recommend her enough and just hope she has space when I need a

Childminder for my daughter. Thanks for everything Karra.

Thank you Karra for all your support in the care of our little boy. We love the fact you send us photos throughout the day of him having fun and learning lots of new things. Anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring minder, Karra is the one! We would totally recommend. Mr & Mrs Lathaen

Prior to my eighteen month old starting at Karra's I asked around other mums in Bedford about her! I was told that Karra was a very calm and kind parent to her own children. When I visited Karra her setting was organised, relaxed and fun which I knew was the perfect environment for my son. Karra knew I was nervous about leaving him as I had never left him before. Karra sent me pictures and messages of him throughout the settling in sessions to show me that he was busy playing happily.

Karra is approachable, friendly and extremely professional. My son has now built a great relationship with Karra and now will wave happily when I leave him. Karra is very flexible and communicates well. The children's routine is flexible and the activities age appropriate. Karra sends out a newsletter with useful information and hands over day to day information in a daily diary and over WhatsApp. We loved getting pictures of our son at playgroup, playing in the garden and sitting at the table doing arts and crafts. Karra always replies promptly to any questions or concerns that I have.

I would highly recommend Karra as a childminder and so would my son (if he could).

Our son has been with Karra since he was 10 months old, he is nearly 3! He is so happy in her care, she is kind, considerate, nurturing and always puts the children's needs first! There is always a wide variety of activities and outings they engage with and themed activities! I have no hesitation in recommending Karra!

Karra is an excellent childminder and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. My 5 year old son and 21 month old daughter have been with Karra for a year now and they love spending time at her house and with the other children that she cares for.



Karra is very organised and professional. She always makes sure the children have activities to do, ranging from attending play groups, arts and crafts, singing, exploring educational games/toys and days out.



Karra is very patient and calm. Nothing phases her and as a result my children are very relaxed and content in her company.



Karra's communication is excellent. She always keeps us updated of events via a daily diary and with photos and messages on WhatsApp.



Karra is reliable, trustworthy and approachable. I am so pleased that she has formed such strong relationships with both my children. I go to work happy knowing that my children are in safe (and fun) hands!
