Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for kate. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Kate has been a brilliant nanny to our 18 month old boy for the last six months. Unfortunately due big changes in our working patterns as a result of coronavirus we can no longer offer her the hours she needs.
Kate has developed a fantastic rapport with our son who adores her. She is extremely attentive, plays with and talks to him all day long, as well as engaging in a variety of activities including singing classes, zoo visits, art and crafts and meeting up with other nannies for play dates. His language has been developing really well in her care, including two of the most important words "please" and "thank you"! Kate is very astute when it comes to trying to teach good behaviour even though he is very young. They have a great relationship and it does make us sad that he will miss her when she moves on.
Kate is completely reliable, is always on time and never misses work. She's been helpful with childcare related household duties, including reusable nappy laundry and washing up. She's very experienced and well qualified, as well as being Ofsted registered, which allows access to the tax-free childcare scheme.
We would highly recommend Kate to any future potential employers and are happy to be contacted directly for a verbal reference.
Overall
Kate has been our daughter's nanny for nearly a year and we will be sad to see her leave, due to a change in our family circumstances and my decision to take a break from work for a while.
Kate is a loving nanny and has looked after 2 year old Florence with a great degree of attention and care. She is a highly reliable member of the family team and has always been flexible with her hours despite our sometimes erratic schedule.
Kate has put a lot of effort into developing Florence and helping her to mature and attain the next stage in her development. She is very safety conscious and we have never been remotely worried about leaving our daughter with her. We would recommend her highly to any family.

Kate is great. She has looked after our son for two days a week since November 2015. As first time parents we admit freely that we don't know it all or very much. Kate is reassuring and helpful at all times. She has such a wealth of experience and she has helped us endlessly in the past 9 months. She has a lovely network of nanny friends who she meets with to give the children she cares for a good "social life", they have outings to the zoo and other places of interest, along with all sorts of crafting fun. We have found Kate to be intuitive and firm but fair with our son. He has come to really enjoy his days with Kate and we will be really sorry to see her go. We would be more than happy to talk to anyone thinking of Kate as their nanny. We have only wonderful things to say.

Kate has now been with us for almost two months and we feel lucky to have found her. Her wealth of experience is clearly apparent. She takes her responsibilities as a Nanny seriously but this does not stop her having fun with the children. She has arranged a wide range of age-appropriate activities, from beach trips to baking, and my son already looks forward to 'Kate Days'! She is very organised, always punctual and has good insight into the juggling involved in being working parents with young children. Introducing Kate to our family could not have gone more smoothly and we are delighted to have working with us. I am happy to be contacted for a reference.

Overall
Kate is a hugely experienced nanny with a great understanding of children’s development needs. In addition she is a kind and cheerful person with whom we have enjoyed sharing our house and lives for 13 months.
Sadly we had to say goodbye to Kate when we moved abroad but we miss her a lot. We could not recommend her more highly as a nanny and we are happy to be contacted for references.
