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.
