We couldn’t ask for a better childminder for Jude. From day one she made us all feel completely comfortable and reassured. She genuinely cares about the children she looks after, and it really shows.
Jude has grown in confidence so much since starting, and he’s always happy and excited to tell us about his day. The activities she plans are fun, creative and educational, she takes them for lovely outings and I love how we get daily pictures to show the adventures they go on! Her home is such a warm, safe and welcoming environment. Her family are just as kind and friendly, which makes it feel even more special and like a true home-from-home setting.
We drop Jude off every day knowing he’s safe, happy and well cared for, which means everything to us. We’re so grateful for everything she does and would highly recommend her.

My daughter has been with Katie for nearly 2 years and we absolutely love her. She’s really warm and brilliant with the children. They go for outings and do lots of crafts and fun things at home too.
My daughter loves going here!

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.
