Good

An inspection report reveals a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children. The childminder provides engaging activities that promote independence and learning about the world. Strong partnerships with parents are maintained through effective communication. Children enjoy a healthy lifestyle with nutritious snacks and outdoor activities. Safeguarding practices are robust, with regular training undertaken. To further improve, the childminder could provide more opportunities for children to develop their own ideas during play.

Lovely lady, beautiful playroom and excellent care

5 stars

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.
