I could not recommend Kat highly enough. Kat looked after my daughter from 11 to 21 months old and we received absolutely brilliant childcare.

My daughter was settled from day one and was always happy to be dropped off at Kat’s. When we would pick her up she was happy to see us, but not particularly bothered about coming home!

Kat planned a lot of activities and arts and crafts at home and would always also go to playgroups, the park and meet with other childminders. I felt that my daughter had lots of fun and stimulation and was supported to develop skills in all developmental areas.

Kat’s setting is very spacious, with lots of toys and always spotless clean. The meals and snacks she cooks and provides for the children are healthy and balanced and there is variety. Both lunch and dinner are home cooked and proper warm meals.

Kat, her husband and children are all absolutely lovely. Kat herself is energetic, understanding, flexible and takes her job seriously. She is very good at communicating with parents, she always provides a written summary at the end of day and sends pictures of fun activities during the day.

As a parent, the top two things I want from childcare is for my child to be happy and safe. Kat provided that plus so much more. We will really miss her.
