Kate childminded for my 12-month old for three days a week for several months (until Covid-19 very sadly put a spanner in the works). She made sure that both he and I were comfortable with her and the setting, and she greatly reduced the worries I was having about returning to work and leaving him in childcare. He clearly enjoyed his every day with her, he would go off to play in the mornings with a big smile for her and without looking back at us and would come home a happy and tired boy, having experienced lots of new and fun things. Kate clearly nurtured him and took care to report on things she knew I worried about – whether he had eaten much, slept enough, etc. His development came on in leaps and bounds in the short time he was with her - and so I know she had an eye out for this - and his confidence expanded. Kate is relaxed but organised in her approach and the children she cares for always seem very comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a home-from-home for their little one.
