Extensive special needs experience including: ASD, ADHD, Speech and language and global delays epilepsy, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, and Down syndrome.

I have recently completed training for tracheostomy care and G-tube feeding.

I offer a home from home childcare environment where each child is loved and celebrated as individuals. With the overall goal of the child being “school ready” when they start reception.

We love to be out doors exploring in nature and our local and wider community.

A welcoming and nurturing environment awaits children at this early years setting. The curriculum is exciting and based on children's interests, fostering secure friendships and strong bonds with the childminder. Support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is particularly strong. While older children show high levels of independence, younger ones could benefit from more encouragement to develop these skills. Overall, the setting provides a joyful and engaging learning experience for children.

Kate is the best childminder I have come across, she is professional, loving and gives structure and guidance to children. She is very warm, honest and has changed our lives. Kate takes the children on adventures and they always have lots of fun with lots of education involved. She has a safe, immaculate home with lots of toys and activities to get involved with. She gives you plenty of notice if she can't provide car and offers alternative arrangements. I would recommend my child minder to all as she gives me confidence to part with my children and flexibility to enjoy the work and home life balance.
