Our daughter has been in Katie’s care for the last two years, and we can honestly say that finding Katie was one of the best things that could have happened for our daughter.
Katie is a phenomenal childminder. She really took the time to get to know our daughter and has become like a second family to her. It has been amazing to watch our daughter thrive in so many aspects of her life, and Katie has played such an integral part in that.
Our daughter always comes home so happy, with so much to tell us about her day. She has never not wanted to go and is always excited about seeing Katie and the other children.
Katie always has different activities planned for the children, and they are constantly exploring, whether that’s at home or out and about. She is also fantastic at supporting us as parents, giving us ideas and activities we can do at home to help our daughter continue learning and developing.
We would highly recommend Katie without hesitation. We are so grateful she has been part of our daughter’s journey and couldn’t have wished for anyone better. We can’t wait for our second daughter to join her care in the near future!

I cannot recommend Katie highly enough. Benjamin has been in her care for the past two years, and I genuinely couldn't have wished for a better childminder for him.
From the very beginning, Katie has been incredibly caring, patient, reliable and professional. Most importantly, she created an environment where Benjamin felt completely happy, safe and loved. Her home truly became like a second family to him, and as a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing that your child is somewhere they feel so comfortable and cared for.
Over these two years, I have watched Benjamin grow, learn and develop so much, and Katie has played such an important part in that. She doesn't simply look after the children in her care — she genuinely gets to know them, supports them and treats them with so much warmth and affection.
Leaving Katie is genuinely emotional for us because she and her family have become such an important part of Benjamin's early years. I will always be incredibly grateful for everything she has done for him and for all the wonderful memories he has made while in her care.
I would recommend Katie without hesitation to any parent looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing and genuinely passionate about caring for children. And if I ever have another child, there would be absolutely no question — I would choose Katie again in a heartbeat.
Thank you, Katie, for giving Benjamin such a wonderful, happy and loving start. We will miss you all so much. ❤️

Amelia has been with Katie for the last two years and I can honestly say there wasn’t a single day she didn’t look forward to going. If Amelia could, she would have happily gone on weekends too!
Katie has been an incredible caregiver, always looking after Amelia with the utmost care and attention. She has consistently taught her new skills, following EYFS guidelines, and created a warm, nurturing environment. Katie’s own children are bubbly, playful, and so welcoming, which made Amelia feel like part of the family. The children always have so much fun together.
Katie has gone above and beyond in every way—even helping with nursery pick-ups. Now that Amelia has started full-time school, we are thrilled to continue attending Katie’s during half-term breaks.
Katie’s attentiveness and dedication shine through in everything she does. She provides regular updates, complete with wonderful photos throughout the day, which are such a joy to receive. I wholeheartedly recommend Katie’s childcare services. Trust me, you will not be disappointed!

Katie has taken my boy under her wing and really looks after my 1 and a half year old . She has him all day on Mondays and she sends me regular updates and always communicates with me.
She is welcoming, warm and friendly and would recommend her to anyone!
