Cathy looked after our 5 year old daughter the past couple of months while schools were closed. She was a lifeline for us as we both had to work. Cathy is super friendly and totally reliable and trustworthy. She really cares about the kids she looks after, cooks whatever food they (or we) ask for and takes them out for walks and cycle rides too. She sent lovely photos of our daughter enjoying herself which was very reassuring at a stressful time for all of us. Many thanks Cathy!

Hi, I had to come up from London to Edinburgh for work purposes and I had my 1 year old son and 2 year old daughter with me.

I got in touch with Cathy and from our first conversation, I knew my children would be in great hands.
She was happy to take care of both my children, which worked out brilliantly for me.

My children both have quite specific dietary requirements but this was no issue for Cathy, she went above and beyond to make sure my kids were well fed, to all the requirements necessary.

My son had become clingy since lockdown and I wasn’t sure if he would stay but while in Cathy’s care, he was absolutely fine, which speaks volumes as to how great Cathy is.

I was constantly kept updated with pictures and videos and at the end of the day a complete food and activity diary for each of my children. She had taken temperatures at regular times during the day, monitoring the children to make sure they were ok.

If I ever am back in Edinburgh again, before booking anything else I would get in touch with Cathy first.

She really is amazing at what she does and I felt at ease with my children being with her.

Thanks again

My son Lucas was with Cathy for his first couple of years when I when back to work before he started nursery. He absolutely loved going there and I loved getting updates both when I picked him up and sometimes during the day (the odd photo was very welcomed). Cathy was like a second mum to Mum to Lucas and a great support to me. She will be a family friend to us for life. We found it very useful that Cathy was willing to keep a diary for what Lucas had eaten, whether he had a dirty nappy, etc - he's non-verbal so wouldn't be able to tell us himself.

My husband and I are both self employed and have 2 children and are often changing our schedule. Cathy is always really communicative and flexible. My daughter has been at Cathys almost full time for over a year and my son gets picked up from nursery school and stays in the evenings until I finish. They are always happy, fed and have met some lovely friends at Cathy's. I would recommend her to anyone, you can tell she really cares about the children she looks after, we always get a Halloween, Christmas and a birthday surprise which the kids love! If you need a safe and loving home for your children, with a exciting environment to boot, Cathy would definitely get my vote!

Cathy is an absolute gem of a lady. She minded my daughter from 18 months old until 4 and a half years old. Helped potty train her and helped with her feeding habits. My daughter loved being at Cathy's. The children are well looked after in her care I would trust her with my life. She has the patience of a saint. She always has time for parents aswell. Even when I had to work on my daughters birthday she made her feel so special with cake and surprises. She cares for the children as if they were her own a very special lady to me. Cant thank her enough for what she had done for not only my daughter but me aswell xx

My son has been with Cathy for over a year now and I cannot praise her enough! She is so trusting which was a big factor for me and she is the most caring person I have ever met. She has taught my son from right and wrong, helped him from coming off his baby bottles, not using his dummy and is currently helping with potty training. Cathy goes over and above her job and treats my son as if he were her own. She is always so pleasant and friendly, with being my first child she has given me great advice throughout and she has become my go to person when I ever need help or advice. She keeps my son busy and entertained every day, teaching him new things every day. Cathy and her family have grown a great relationship with Leo and he loves going to her! I would highly recommend Cathy without a doubt as she is everything you want and need in a childminder. Thank you for everything Cathy, you are truly amazing!
