About Me

I’m Katharine, I am a mum of three and live in Hornchurch. I look after children who attend Hacton Primary School. I have been a fully qualified OFSTED registered childminder since 2015. In that time I have cared for many children from nursery through to the end of primary school. I have amazing relationships with my childminding parents and their children and am grateful to receive all my work on recommendations.

My Experience

I have raised my own three children and have looked after children from 9 months to 11 years old.

My Ofsted Inspections

The inspection grades below have been obtained from the Ofsted website based upon the registration number the childminder has provided to us. You should verify this information yourself prior to using the childminder.

Met
2 October 2019
A recent inspection revealed a caring and stimulating environment where children feel secure and at ease. The setting offers a wide range of activities and promotes healthy lifestyles. Children of different ages play harmoniously and manage their feelings well through discussions and negotiation. Strong relationships with parents and schools ensure continuity in care and education. However, there is room for improvement in supporting children's independence, such as encouraging self-serving at snack times.
