Catherine is a wonderfully kind, nurturing and genuinely caring childminder. She takes the time to truly get to know each child as an individual, and her patience and warmth shine through in everything she does. She notices the little things that matter to children, celebrates their successes, and gently supports them when they face challenges.
My little one absolutely loves going to her setting and talks constantly about the activities they do together. Catherine offers such a rich variety of experiences—from exploring the local community, going on walks and little adventures, to bird watching, library visits and baking. She always makes sure he is fully included, even with his allergies, which means so much to us.
What stands out most is how thoughtfully she plans activities around his interests, helping him extend his thinking, curiosity and understanding of the world. It’s clear she puts her heart into creating a safe, stimulating and joyful environment.
We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and our child genuinely thrives in her care.
