I started using Catherine in January and I have a 4 year old and an 11 month old. They have been going for a couple of weeks and LOVE it! I even asked my 4 year old if she wanted to go to pre-school and she said "no I want to go to Catherines house" :) she made me feel at ease and it was the first time I had left my little 11 month old with anyone! They had a great time and settled so well, the playroom is full of lots of different toys for all the children and there are beautiful paintings and art work all over! It's a lovely family home and my 4 year old has made a pasta picture, some drawings and had a visit to the park, within a few weeks. She is excellent value for money and I would send my children to her over and over! I am very happy that I sent my two children to Catherine and even though it's only been for a month it was well worth it! Would highly recommend.
