Kate has been most helpful to settle my 10month old son since I got back to work. He’s now almost two and loves going to her place every week! Kate has plenty of activities and arts and crafts at her place, and also bringing my son out to gardens, parks, play groups, and plenty more. She’s so caring and mindful about each individual child’s need, it puts my mind at ease as a first time mum here. She is great to communicate as well. I would highly recommend her as a childminder!

Kate is an absolute fantastic childminder who has been incredibly supportive of the transition back to work for both myself and my daughter. Despite being very clingy to me, from the first meeting my daughter felt comfortable and content with Kate and the relationship has flourished in a short space of time. Kate provides crafts and activities perfect for the age of children she is looking after, and has a safe environment for the children in her care. Our daughter has already made great developmental leaps and Kate takes the time to understand where we have concerns and help us in supporting our daughters next steps. For 3 days a week I can feel totally relaxed knowing my daughter is in safe hands and is happy to be be with Kate!

Kate is an amazing childminder. My daughter went to her for 2 years and had the best time. She loved Kate’s house as she got to play outside, do arts and crafts and even nurture caterpillars into butterflies! She also went on various trips out, attended playgroups regularly and had lovely home cooked meals. Kate spent time and effort helping her development, confidence and learning, as well as preparing her for school and helping her to be more independent. Kate was also a massive support to me as a first time mum in Covid! Our daughter loves Kate - so much so, we’re still in touch. I’d recommend her to everyone!

Kate has been looking after our son for over 18 months and she has been brilliant with him. Kate has been supporting him with all areas of development, including his delayed speech, and regularly communicates with us through conversations, photos and updates. Our son loves going to Kate's, especially all the outdoor play, indoor crafts and trips. Kate has been amazing during the pandemic, making sure she looks after the children in her care in a safe environment, through this challenging time. We highly recommend Kate and so does our son!

Kate has been looking after my two and a half year old daughter for two days a week since December last year and it has been a great experience so far. Kate has a lovely house and garden with plenty of activities to explore. The children are of mixed ages with provides a dynamic environment for learning from each other. They often do outside activities and join playgroups, visit local parks etc which keeps them all occupied. Kate is very organized and it has made the process of getting the paperwork sorted etc very easy.

Kate has been looking after my daughter 3 days a week for the last 8 months. My daughter settled very quickly and now loves both of Kate’s sons, who are great with the kids, as well as the other children Kate looks after.
What first attracted me to Kate as a childminder was her lovely, secure garden which allows the children to have plenty of time playing outside and exploring while being completely safe. My daughter is always kept very busy and her speech has come on so much, it is just lovely now that she can tell me what she has been up to during the day!
I would recommend Kate if you value a laid back environment that provides plenty of activities indoors and out.

Kate looked after my son for a year and he enjoyed every minute of it. They had loooads of adventures and fun together, Kate took them somewhere (softplay, Wisley Gardens, parks, playgroups) nearly every day.
Kate is very kind and very good to children.It was like my son had 2 homes, one here with us and one with Kate. I can highly recommend her.

My daughter Charlotte has been going to Kate's for 4 years now and she is very happy there. She first started going there when she was 1 year old and she has developed into a very happy confident little girl. She loves all the activities that Kate does with her and it is clear that she thoroughly enjoys her time there. Kate picks Charlotte up from school now and as she is so reliable I know that Charlotte is in very safe hands.

There is nothing about Kate that I would change. My son Theo is so happy with her and she makes it super easy for me, (as an emotional and clingy mummy!) to leave my boy. Her house is beautiful, clean, spacious and well equipped and her family is equally as lovely. Theo is so relaxed with Kate and we are so pleased he gets to spend lots of time with her visiting various groups and other fab places as well as being totally comfortable at her house. I would highly recommend her childminding services and would be happy to give any other parents peace of mind.

Our nearly 4yr old daughter, Aarshia, has been with Kate for 2 years now and she loves her! They are out of the house every day with trips to the local playgroups and Wisley Gardens etc. Kate has a lovely, large garden and summer days are spent outside having fun. Aarshia has grown in confidence and knowledge over the years and is definitely ready for full time school next year.
We have always found Kate to be easy going and is always contactable if needed. She has also catered for our individual requirements when needed and we have been delighted to have her look after Aarshia. Highly recommended.
