I can’t recommend or thank Kath highly enough! She has cared for my son 3 days a week since he was 9 months old in June 2015 and he loves her like a second mum! Being a single parent, my son had barely left my side before he started at Kath’s but he settled with her very quickly and easily and now regularly asks to go to Kath’s on his days with me! She is incredibly caring, kind and attentive towards him and all the children in her care. Her house is packed with equipment, toys, craft items, books and everything a little one could possibly want. You can tell she really listens to and understands the needs of the children in her care, and she is always coming up with new ways to challenge, encourage and excite them. Nothing is too much trouble and she is brilliant at keeping in touch and letting you know how your child is getting on. She is also a font of knowledge and her advice has been invaluable when dealing with some of the more challenging moments of parenthood.

She takes them to various groups and activities through the week which my son really looks forward to, ballet is his particular favourite, and he has learned much more with Kath than I ever could have taught him at home. He will miss her immensely when he goes to school but will be returning to her in the holidays which he is very happy about!

If you are looking for a fabulous childminder then look no further, you have found her!
