One of the family.
I first met Catherine when I was looking for childcare for my then 2month old son. Her warm and friendly nature put me instantly at rest that I was leaving my son in a safe and nurturing home. I couldn't have asked for a better childminder.
Over the past 3 years Catherine has cared for my son, encouraging his development and taking him into her home as part of the family. Raising a child can have many challenges but Catherine has been there beside me to offer support as well as follow through with my views and offer solutions in helping to get through such challenges.
After a short break apart, when Catherine had her own daughter, my son returned to her care. Having missed her greatly. I now have a second child and if it hadn't been for Catherine's relocation she would have gone into Catherine's care as well.
We were all sad to see her leave Reading as she had truly become part of our family, and us hers. If you need a safe and loving home to place your child then look no further. She will provide your child with a safe and fun place to learn and play, while your safe in the knowledge that your child is being cared for like one of her own. Catherine was my greatest find and she'll be yours as well.
Good luck in your new home, Catherine, and I hope this review helps any parents looking to find an amazing childminder.
