Kate was my first and best childminding experience. During the time my son was with her; she was warm and gentle with him and the other children, and always had thoughtful and stimulating activities for them to enjoy, with lots of fresh air when possible. Kate always kept me updated with pictures to cheer my day, and was ever-professional; with quick and painless drop offs and pick ups (despite my son being clingy) to make the working day easier.

My daughter had been to a couple of child minders as she was cautious, shy and very selective. Over the year my daughter has been with Kate, she is now super confident and excelling in most areas of development. Kate takes care of all food (which helps us in the mornings) and believes in getting out and keeping busy. Always updating us with pictures of animal parks, we the curious, parks and always and provides feedback so we are always in the loop. My daughter at times now is the most confident child in the room, Kate can take a lot of the credit for this. Kate ensures she gets the attention and activities to never be bored and get her creativity out. I cannot recommend Kate enough as mentioned earlier with both children we have seen many childminding settings and this is the best, most professional and most active. Thank you so much for looking after our girl. A small group of children where your child can create a bond and go to activities with more children to build confidence.

I’ve never used a childminder before but needed to top up my nursery care and they had no availability. Kate has been faultless so far. So responsive and helpful from the first contact. We popped into to meet Kate and her lovely girl Nora and Matilda was instantly happy to be there. Her set up at home is welcoming and full of toys. Tilly has attended two sessions so far and has loved her time there. Kate does so much with her and I love all the pics, not somehting you get a lot of from nursery. Tilly settled in immediately, napping and eating well, coming home happy after a fun day! Kates great to deal with, professional, open, kind and very calm. I would fully recommend Kate to anyone looking for a loving and fun childminder.
