My little boy didn't enjoy nursery and was always really eager to leave everyday when I went to pick him up. When he moved to being with Katy everything changed for him. She provides a stimulating, fun environment in a family home. Katy works hard to ensure that the children she cares for get individual care and when my son had a difficult time, she put a train set he loved out for him before he arrived. She genuinely cares for the children in her care.

One thing that made a huge difference for my son was that Katy engages the children in her care with lots of out door play. They go to all sorts of activities, toddler groups, parks and events. The children are not just in the same room with the same toys every day. In the summer months they spent whole days outside: at the beach, the park, her garden. They do educational activities but also fun physical activities too.

Katy ensures the children she cares for feel at home in her house and she provides a family atmosphere. Katy has a dog that my son misses when he doesn't see him.
