Katherine was my daughters childminder for 2 years. My daughter (Kali) loved going to Katherine's and both my husband and I were very happy that she was there. I originally planned for my daughter to go to aftercare club, we couldn't get her in and I am so glad as it absolutely worked out for the best.

Katherine always had engaging activities organised such as arts and crafts. Kali was always bursting to tell us what she did when she got home. In better weather Katherine would take the kids to the park after school where they could run around. In the holidays, they went swimming or further afield to different parks. Kali was always well fed with good, wholesome, homemade food.

Katherine is not only conscious and intuitive to a child's needs but also appreciates and understands parents. Occasionally, out of the blue throughout the day, I would receive lovely pictures of Kali enjoying her time which I felt was really special.

I always found Katherine to be flexible and accommodating. Kali was always dropped off and picked up on time from school.

It’s a difficult decision when you have to go back to work and entrust the care of your child with someone else, however, in giving a person like Katherine that responsibility it eases the transition knowing your child is in a safe, secure and environment that they will really enjoy.

I cannot recommend Katherine highly enough to any parents who are looking to place their child/ren in her care.
