Reviews I've Written

Reviews written by Ellen. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk.

Kate and her team are, quite simply, amazing. They provide an exceptional standard of care, combining high-quality provision with a truly nurturing heart.

Returning to work after maternity leave felt like such a daunting hurdle for both me and my son, but the team’s reassuring presence and professional expertise gave me instant peace of mind. My son has been with them for nearly a year now, and it has been a joy to watch him flourish both socially and developmentally.

Why We Love It:

Curious Minds: The team excels at delivering a well-structured educational programme. Their monthly rotation of topics keeps the children engaged, curious, and excited to learn.

Healthy & Happy: The nutritional standard of the home cooked meals is outstanding. It’s so comforting to know my son eats like a King every day - their well being is clearly the top priority.

Trustworthy & Kind: For any parent feeling that natural apprehension about childcare, I cannot recommend Kate and her team highly enough. They provide a trustworthy, enriching, and loving environment.

Choosing Kate was the best decision we could have made; you won't regret it for a second.
