Cathy has been looking after my son since he was 9 month old and he loves going everyday. Cathy goes above and beyond for him as well as the other children she looks after. Since my son has been going to her everyday during the week, he has come on leaps and bounds socially. She's an amazing childminder who ensures that all the children that go to her are being given the best care. We are lucky to have her!

Cathy looked after why daughter full time until she went to school where she joined after-schools. Couldn't recommend her enough, my daughter went to Cathy happily every day and had lots of lovely stories to tell me about her day each evening which helps a lot going to work. She keeps a beautiful home and there's lots of space for kids playing, my daughter also met some lovely friends who also go to Cathy!

Cathy has taken care of my two children for nearly 7 years since they were babies and has taken excellent care of them! It really is home from home for them and they love going! First class childcare! Would recommend to anyone.

My one year old son Henry has been going to Cathy for the last 4months, I am so pleased I found her. I know Henry is well looked after when he is there and means a lot that I don't have to worry about him when I'm at work. Cathy has a great set up and the play room is fantastic for all the kids to play together. It is also in a lovely country setting for them to play outside when the weather is nice. She goes out if her way to make sure the kids are happy & has plenty of activities for everyone to do. I would be lost without Cathy now and would highly recommend her to everyone.
