First of all I would just like to say I am one of those mammies who have separation anxiety leaving their baby! It was time for me to go back to work and I cried had panic attacks the lot. When I met Kath and the family I instantly felt at ease especially how she loves the kids and they all call her aunty Kath you honestly couldn’t ask for anything more! Kath keeps me updated all throughout the day and only a few months down the line my baby is now just going in and doesn’t care about saying good bye! Kath has made my life so much easier and I am such a worrier she has made me feel at ease too!

My little one started with Kath Peter and Claudia age 6 months. She loved it from day 1 and always happy to arrive. She is now 19 months and has a fab time every time she goes! They really care for each child and form a lovely bond

Our daughter has been with Kath for 8 months now and it's the best decision we ever made. We started her in a nursery but she never would have gotten the level of care, attention and adventures that she has now with Kath and her family if we never moved her. We were a bit nervous about using a childminder but Kath and her family made us feel so at ease and supported every step of the way. We love how much our daughter has grown to love them all and gets excited about her days with them all. We cant recommend them enough, so much so, that we are sending our second daughter with them shortly!!

Kath had my daughter in her care for 2 years and came on leaps and bounds. Very loving family, my girl thinks the world of them and we were all sad when my girl started reception- we recently went to visit auntie kath, Peter and Claudia that’s how much they are missed. Highly recommend kath to anyone who is looking for someone to love/care for their child as much as you. Xxxx ❤️

Kathleen and her team are absolutely amazing, she has been the best for both of my children who have been with her for 2 years now. She has gone above and beyond to facilitate all of our needs and my boys love going to see her and the rest of the team. We are so sad to not need Kathleen anymore but we highly recommend her for anyone who needs care for their kids.

My 2 year old daughter has started with Kathleen and her team and has made my journey back to work and leaving her a lot better. They have provided me with regular updates throughout the day to settle my nerves and let me know how happy she is there. They have a lovely home setting for the kids who have a great choice of activities to keep them entertained. Highly recommend their childminding services as a lovely family who genuinely care a lot about the children with them.

Kathleen Heron and her team were life savers!
I was quite anxious about finding a Childminder as I had always worked from home and though I was ready to work outside the home again, Childcare was a big deal! Kathleen made our entire family feel welcomed and I instantly knew she had the experience and care to support our Child Care needs. She has always been flexible and reliable and always understood the personal needs of my children and myself. I would highly recommend Kathleen Heron if you are looking for safe, friendly, and professional childcare!

Kath and her team have looked after my little boy for around 5/6 months now and will be looking after him and his younger brother from September, my little boy loves going and has so much fun when he’s there. He can be a fussy eater sometimes and kath has been more than accommodating with that and has helped us with that as much as she could. Amazing team and no doubt my younger son will enjoy it as much as his older brother.

Kath and her family have looked after our son for two years. He looks forward to going on his days off, and seems to be well occupied with a huge range of activities while there. Kath takes a close interest in the children’s learning and social development, and tailors activities to their needs. I know my son is well cared for while with Kath, who always goes the extra mile for the children she minds.

Kath has been looking after our baby since he was 4 months old for 3 days per week while I went back to work. She made the whole process so smooth and he absolutely loves it at her house. He is well looked after, does arts and crafts, plays with the other kids... Kath has been so helpful to us during an emotional time. Leaving your baby with someone for the first time is never easy but Kath made me feel like he was in safe hands. She is very experienced and sends me lovely photos of him throughout the day.
She has been able to get him to take bottles of expressed breast milk and now he is eating his solids like a piggy.
Every time I go to Kath's house the kids are having a lovely time and all playing nicely.

Thank you so much Kath xx

Kathleen and her team have been a fantastic help in nurturing my son who has gone to kaths from being a baby and now is approaching the terrible twos.Her help and guidance have seen him get rid of a dummy and learned many words and skills to achieve all his milestones and with her expert knowledge I know he will continue to thrive.Kath is very helpful and adaptable to my sons needs and will work alongside the parents offering suggestions and guidance and is always on hand to offer the children playtime,singtime,funtime and most of all special cuddles.

Kathleen has been looking after my children for around 4 years. Prior to Kathleen we had tried a nursery and other childcare settings. No where have we had such an easy to get along with and inclusive childcare provider. I highly recommend her as she is extremely flexible which is very important to us and also she goes out of her way to provide an exceptional level of service. She is naturally a very caring person and this comes across in her work. 10 out of 10!

I would highly recommend Kath for the great value service she provides

Kathleen is a very friendly and caring childminder. She is looking after my two children and making sure I have been updated about them all the time. My eldest girl likes to go to Kathleen's after her school as she can mingle with other children and enjoy lots of fun activities there. I feel more relaxed and relieved to leave my 10 month old baby in her care as Kathleen is very attentive to my baby. Her assistant is also very nice to help us pick up my girl from school and provide her food for tea. Kathleen and her team have been providing very good and wonderful childcare service. Thanks a lot to them that i can get back to work with a peaceful mind!

Kathleen is a wonderful child minder. My children always come back happy after being in her care. Kathleen has helped the children a lot especially my 2 year old who had little to no speech before going. His speech has came on fantastic and he is also showing interest in the potty and is coming off his dummy all through going to Kathleen's! I couldn't thank her enough for her service!

Thanks you Kathleen

My step daughter loves going to Aunty Kaths . She has come along leaps and bounds since starting with Kathleen in January Last year. I really couldn't recommend her enough. They do a lot of activities and various educational stuff ie. letters ,numbers,colours with the children too.
My Step Daughter is so settled and has been from day 1 as I think it's also like home from home feeling for the children.

Kathleen runs a very professional childminding service from her lovely home in Kingston Park. The kids love it and there is a warm and easy going atmosphere. Kathleen genuinely loves children and you can be sure that they will be in good hands here. Plenty for them to do with lots of toys and teaching resources and some really nice staff who all bend over backwards to help you out if your routines change.

Auntie Kath has been such a tremendous help with settling my son into a new city, new school and new childcare. She has been thoughtful and kind to his needs. I couldn't recommend her more. My son loves going to Auntie Kaths and spending time with all his friends and the huge amount of toys.

My son has been with Aunty Kath for a little over a year and I couldn't be happier. She has seen him through so many developmental and physical changes since he was one (including terrible twos). She and the girls who work for her are helpful, understanding and supportive to all of my son's needs and encourage learning through play.

She is incredibly accommodating, if I need to pick up an extra shift at work she will often accept an additional day etc

I'd be lost without Kath and the girls, my son has nicknames for them all and I feel they are now a part of my extended family.

My little boy attended nursery for about 9 months but frustratingly spent a lot of time off due to sickness. I was nervous about moving to a childminder but Kath instantly made me feel at ease. Kath and her team facilitated a few visits for us together before I left my little one on his own for a few hours (he barely even noticed I'd left). When he started, we had none of the tantrums on separation that we'd had at nursery and he very quickly settled into the new routine. My son loves playing outside, singing, and crafts, and I am delighted to hear that Kath and her team do lots of these plus other varied activities and outings. Kath and her team clearly attend to each child's development and ensure their activities cover all developmental areas. They respect my preferences around dummies/diet etc which I know is incredibly difficult in a busy environment. The setting is delightful with a fab purpose-built outdoor space, lots of stimulating pictures on the walls, and a huge range of toys. Kath and her team are more than capable of managing the common grumbling childhood illnesses that do not require absence, but I am confident they would call me if needed. Most importantly I can see that Kath and her team love the children in their care and extend their kindness to the whole family. Kath and her husband even rescued us from the roadside with a punctured tyre, which was beyond kind. I cannot recommend Kath and her team highly enough, and I am at work comfortable in the knowledge that my child is in a safe, loving and stimulating environment.

Where to start... as a first time mam and never really used a childminder before kathleen made us feel so welcome to her home. She sat and went through everything and i mean everything with both me and my husband, we fell in love with how happy and bubbly she was and our son was more than happy to be sat on her knee. First impressions 5*. Our settling in days were amazing kathleen and her team made us feel so at ease which is what i needed being the stresser that i am, our son had a wail of a time throughout the settling in period. Hes now 4/5 months into being with kathleen hes come on leaps and bounds has some amazing friends for life and i couldn't wish for anyone better to have son our very own marry poppins, she is truly amazing at what she does, not just our son but all the children that are in kathleens care love her as much as we do, she and her team have now become a permanent members of our family.

I contacted Kathleen to see if she could look after my 1 year old and 4 year old temporarily while I am doing a training course. She was very kind to listen to my stressful situation and took to the kids on their first meeting which made me feel confident they were in good hands. Whenever I picked them up from then on they seemed happy and stimulated from engaging in activities with the other children.

Kath is a very friendly, caring, knowledgeable woman with a heart of gold. After having such a short lived horrid ordeal at a nursery with my 2 year old little girl I removed her immediately and looked on childcare.cu.uk and reached out to a few minders on there and after speaking with then it was Kath who I decided to meet up with, her welcoming me and my 2 children into her warmly home and presence.
I sure am glad I chose Kath as a minder as I have found an absolutely Amazing Woman, Kath not only looks out for the needs of children but also you as a family too. As it is Kath is currently supporting me/my family through a very tough time offering a good listening ear and a good level of support too, she is a very heartfelt woman understanding the situations and the needs for me/my family and is doing all she can to support us through these tough times,
What's more as a child minding role Kath and her lovely team stick to all the rules and regulations of care, health, wellbeing, education and safety of the children carrying out all aspects of what has to be covered by governing rules.
I would definitely recommend Kath and her team to anyone and everyone out there looking for someone with an excellent role in minding your little ones she really is amazing, she's one in a million :) x

Kathleen is taking care of my two kids. they are very shy and don't get along with people easily; however, they engaged with anti Kath very easy. From our first visit, they loved her and enjoy their time at her place. She and her team have great communication. Since I am busy with my job, it is hard for me to call if I need something, but she answers quickly both texts and calls. Her house is nice and clean and safe. with many toys around. She provides transportation from nursery to our house and my kids comes from her house after eating food and playing and only waiting to sleep.

Was looking for a childminder for my 2yr old and Found Kath on child care website. This was my first child minder experience and it was pretty positive nothing to complain about. My child loves visiting aunty Kath's place. Kath takes good care of the children. From what I have seen, She keeps you informed about your child performance and notifies you of any concerns. The collection of toys is pretty good Which keeps kids pretty engaged with lots of activities. I would surely recommend it.

We found Kathleen on the childcare website after having not so good experience at a nursery. Kath is absolutely the one we were looking for. She is warm and welcoming, cares for the kids she minds, and very importantly she is honest in giving feedback on how your child did when at her care, which wasn’t the case with the nursery our son used to go.
Our son started with Kath earlier this month (Jan’17), just after he turned one – and being a clingy baby its taking time for him to settle (as you’d expect) but Kath has done an amazing job. She has always been honest with us and taking best care possible of our child. We are assured that all his needs are well taken care of – be it the food, nappy change, play, rest or keeping him warm while he is asleep or taken out and being loved (regular cuddles).
Our son has a lot of milestones to reach and we are sure that all his learning and developmental needs will also be taken care of by Kath and her amazing team.

When I was looking for childcare for my youngest son Kathleen promptly replied to my advert and we arranged a meeting for the next day. Kathleen is very open and honest and puts the interests of all children in her care first! We always feel very welcome in Kathleen's home and as part of the family. My son loves spending time there, the days are filled with lots of interesting and fun activities and I feel confident that he is well cared for and looked after. I can highly recommend Kathleen!

Kathleen is professional and was great with our little girl. She is well educated and up to date with the legislation including health and safety, food and hygiene which was a positive note as we were happy to know our little girl was eating healthy foods and looked after in a safe environment. Kathleen is honest and has got an effective communication. We respect Kathleen for her honesty and advice. She is caring by nature and very organised. I would recommend Kathleen as the best childminder in Newcastle. As we are expecting our second child soon, we had to suspend Kathleen's service so I can spend as much time possible bonding with our little girls before the new arrival.

I found Kath's profile , i gave her a text and she responded. we arranged for a meeting. i went with my kids to see their reaction because they could be fussy if they dont like the environment especially my kids are scared of dogs. instantly the kids loved there, and MIMI the dog is no bother at all. Kath's home is home away from home, lovely family environment, very welcoming, warm with lots of activities for kids. i leave the kids without any worries. Sophie and Sean look forward to going to Aunt Kath's house . thank you Kath for all your hard work We love you xxx

I found Kath due to this website, read her profile and gave her a ring.. she offered me a time to go and meet her and show me her home and talked to me about herself and the sort of things i would expect while my son was in her care. I was very pleased and so was my son. On the first day of Charlie staying with Kath she made me feel at ease knowing that sometimes Charlie is hard to settle when i leave. Kath sends me photos of the endless activities that she puts forward for all Children. She will always give a detailed overlook on what my son has done throughout the day and also helps with anything she can.. Nothing is to much trouble to Kath and her 2 Assistants and i could not reccomend her highly enough! I go to work knowing my son is in perfect care and i dont need to worry!! Thankyou Kath xxxx

I saw Kath's Profile when I was looking for Holiday Childcare at short notice. She was able to give me an initial meeting to discuss and also view her home.
I was happy with the children friendly environment and her personality.

My Four years old Son had a fantastic time and didn't want to go back home at the end of his stay in Newcastle. Every week was fun filled with lots of educational and fun activities and outings. Within the month they made crafts, studied plants, went to the Beach, Aquarium, Farm (his favourite), and Parks. She also gets top marks for providing healthy meals as my Son (though skinny) loves food especially his fruits and veg. I was kept informed of all their activities and also received pictures of my son during the day. She delivered excellently and I will definitely choose Kath for my childcare if I eventually relocate to Newcastle.

I was really not looking forward to leaving my baby with a stranger after 11 months off work with her. We found Kath and instantly my daughter has taken to her. She has become like a family member and I enjoy going to work because of her. She's been a godsend and my child is a handfull. Nothing too much trouble for Kath and she gives me constant photo updates throughout the day. She's very caring and it's obvious to me that she cares about my child and the children in her care. My husband and I are very lucky we found her!

Kathleen has been a rock for me and my family. Her care for my son as been all i could wish for she is truly a childminder of your dreams. My son is kept busy all day but only if he wishes to take part in activities and crafts, there is plenty of toys books and puzzles but a very relaxed atmosphere and very homely. Kathleen takes the children to soft play and other outings regular. I think enough said , as you may of noticed I'm a fan of this wonderful childminder.
