Latest reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Katie. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Katie has become a constant for Gracie and she has grown to love her time there with her and her new friends. She always seems so happy coming home and saying that she had a fun day, painting, going outdoors to the park, or box hill walking, crafts, explorative toy play and the social groups she takes them to in Wednesdays.
Gracie loves warm characters and is used to a lot of affection at home, so Katie is perfect for her in terms of making her feel home from home. She always is greeted with a smile in the morning and she's helped Gracie become super polite (lots of please X, please Y and thank yous) which is lovely given she's new to talking. Katie has sparked her interest is cosmic yoga for kids which she now asked for at home and she's become really good at saying her emotions like happy and hurt through Katies teaching in the week.
Very grateful to drop Gracie to Katie every day as I know she's in good hands.
