I can honestly say she is absolutely fantastic! I have never had any doubts that my daughter is totally safe and taken care of which was really reassuring when I returned to work. I love that the days are interesting and varied - they go on trips to Dean City Farm, to Morden Hall and to lots of playgroups. She cooks them delicious and nutritious meals, and you get a little report in a book after each day there which is nice - where they went, what they ate etc. Katarina also keeps a portfolio for each child and there's a real focus on the different areas of learning - numeracy, physical development etc.
My daughter always gets excited when she knows she's going to Katarina's and barely has time to give me a cuddle goodbye sometimes! So nice given stories I've heard about children clinging on and crying when dropped at nursery but also illustrative of the fact My daughter enjoys her time with Katarina.
I don't have any bad feedback at all - I can honestly say we feel lucky to have found such a great childminder.

Thank you! I hope little one enjoying a nursery now!
We have used Katarina since our son was 10 months old. He is so well looked after and has thrived under her care.
We feel very lucky to have found Katarina to look after our son and even though he still cannot talk, his face lights up when he sees her.
All of the children under Katarina's care and so well mannered and happy, a reflection of the care that is given!
We have no hesitation in recommending Katarina as a childminder :)

Thank you very much for the lovely review! It is nice to hear your son loves our setting.
Katarina has been looking after my nearly 3 years old son since April 2015. She is always very kind and helpful. I feel that Toby is in good hands with her. I find Katarinka very professional and trustful person as she always explains me everything and she will even end our conversation with a smile and maybe even something funny.
She is very flexible and she tries her best to accommodate my needs. She will text me how is Toby doing and it is very reassuring knowing that my son is safe and I can rely on her.
They always do great activities and Toby has lots of fun there.
I feel that Toby has improved in many areas since he has been with Katarina and I think we are very very lucky to have her!
She cooks really healthy and delicious food and for me seems to enjoy a lot catering for children.
We are very grateful to get to know Katarinka and her loving and welcoming house.
Thank you Katarinko for everything you have been doing for us! :-)

I always feel safe and peaceful to leave my baby with her.
Katarina is very helpful and flexible,always do her best to accommodate my needs.
She is very active and creative -kids are always out to playgroups,playground ,parks or local farms.
Katarinka is feeding him well with her home cooked meals.
She is always aivailable to anserw your phone or your message to let me know how was his day so far .
She is also running foto diary of his daily activity which is lovely memory as they groving in no time !
My son is really attached to her we moved to SE London 5 months ago I still travel extra hour each way every day to get him to her carring and loving arms .
I could not recommend her enough.
Thank you Katarinko for taking care of my precious baby!Can not thank you enough for your care!
Katerine has been looking after my son since September 2014. She is a kind natured and calm person. She is highly organised and genuinely loves children. She keeps a diary of my sons day with her which I find lovely as you can picture how his day was when your not there! What I find exceptional is the fact that she prepares a lot of educational activities with my son ie reading and arts and crafts etc. my son always enjoys being there and sometimes doesn't want to leave!!! She always prepares healthy and balanced meals. She's a total gem and we are very lucky to have her!

Thank you very much. It is nice to hear that. I will try keeping my best.
My 3 year old son has been going to this childminder for nearly a year now. She is very kind, gentle and consciencious with the children. They are always doing activities, whether indoor or outdoors, and my son has a lot of fun there.
My son's first language is French, and his English came on leaps and bounds when he started going to this childminder's house, as she did specific activities with him to help him learn and was very interactive.
There have been times when he hasn't wanted to go for various reasons, but the childminder has always been kind and patient with him and that is really reassuring as a parent.
She has also been very flexible with us, as our patterns of childcare where always changing, and I am very grateful to her for that, as she has always done her best to accomodate us.
She runs a very clean and welcoming home and is always patient and smiling and willing to go the extra mile.

Thank you very much for your view. It is very nice to hear that. As I say, I just make my job. It made me so warm inside my heart.
I love that Katrin is creative with activities for young children and never relies on T.V. to keep them entertained! My little boy has thrived in confidence and independence within her care.

Thank you very much. I will keep doing my best!
Katrin has been looking after my daughter since last April
.I always feel confident and safe leaving her with Katrin.
She is very kind and gentle, and always talks to her at her level.
She is really great in managing to provide healthy and genuine home cooked meal for the kids.
She is bright and happy, responsible and safety conscious, courteous and caring,
She would often go out on trips to local parks, playgroups etc. which is great for the kids.
She is providing a safe, loving and stimulating environment with a well equipped playroom with a vast variety of toys and books
My daughter has grown close to her, her own kids and the one she is looking after showing that she really enjoys pending time to them.
I could not recommend her highly enough!
If u have any question, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thank you very much. It is nice to hear that mum is happy with service which I provide.
good feeling for the night.
Katrin has cared for my son for over a year now.
I have been extremely happy with the genuine love and care Katrin shows my son. She enjoys his company and is keen for him to experience new things. They go out into the local community or parks every day, as well as occasional trips further afield.
Her home is welcoming and she has a lot of toys and books for children to engage with. Whenever I have visited during the day, my son is very content there. Television is watched very infrequently. Katrin provides home-cooked meals every day, along with healthy snacks.
My son is confident in her presence and has grown close to her. When he oversteps boundaries, Katrin is firm but fair. She has a calm persona and this encourages good behaviour from both my son and her own children. Katrin is kind, caring and patient.
Most crucially, Katrin has been extremely flexible around my shift patterns, unlike many other childcare providers. She is fair and understanding. She doesn’t charge extra if you are 10 minutes late, nor does she insist that you come to collect your child if he has a bit of a sniffle. She is incredibly reliable.
I have no reservations in recommending Katrin as a childminder.
If you have any further questions, Katrin can provide you with my email address- I don't mind asking any questions.
