The VERY Best!!!

Katrin (or Kati to us) has been a huge part of our lives for the last year. She has helped our daughter grow so much and develop her social and motor skills effortlessly. She has been reliable, so helpful, and encouraging to not only our daughter but to us as new parents and we view her in a very high regard.

I can’t put into words how grateful and thankful we are to have met her and to have had her. It has only been less than a year but sadly we had to move on as we moved house. Had we not moved we would have been blessed to stay with her.

I cannot recommend her enough, her approach to childcare and her daily outings with children set her apart from everyone else. You will be the best and safest hands you could ask for. When we left you could see how much each child means to her and her family.

Thank you Katrin, we all miss you so much already.

An absolute treasure

It's such a big decision deciding who will be the person to look after your little one and I am so glad we found Kati. She is like a second mother... to my daughter and me :-)
Always there with a smile on her face and helpful parenting tips.
My daughter loves her time there and has made some special little friends.
Kati takes them out every day whether it be to the library for singing, playgroups or the park or most excitedly for them Deen City Farm.
They are fed a healthy variety of food and snacks.
She sends pictures of their day, which is so lovely to see and keeps a record of what they did.
I would definitely recommend Kati to any parent.

Thank you very much for your kind review. I am also grateful to have such wonderful family like you in my setting.

The very BEST

There is absolutely no one better. I was so worried about leaving my 10month old and Kathy supported me at every step. She is wonderfully warm, kind and caring and my son absolutely loves her. He has now been with her for nearly a year and has thrived in her care.

She is great at filling their days with activities from singing and story times to parks and Deen City Farm. He comes home each evening happily tired demonstrating what a great day he has had.

He eats a wide variety of delicious home cooked food and has made some wonderful friends. Kathy has helped him develop his speech and encourages his curiosity which is a joy to see. She has also helped us with advice whenever we have needed it.

We just cannot recommend her highly enough. My son loves her and her two children and bounces in smiling every morning. We are hoping she will take our daughter soon too! We just feel so very lucky to have found someone to teach and love our son as much as we do.

Thank you very much for your kind words about my setting. It is always so heart-warming to read it.

The 3rd parent

We are very grateful to have found Katarina who has been looking after our now 15 month old for the last 8 months.. We were looking for someone warm and caring to look after our daughter and that is exactly what we found in Katarina. Her love of all the children she looks after is so obvious and any child would be in good hands with her. She always cooks home made meals and has introduced our little one to lots of new and healthy foods.
We refer to Katarina as the 3rd parent and value her input so much with our little one. She takes the little ones out daily to different groups , parks and playgroups which I am sure they love. Our daughter jumps out of my arms in the morning to go to Katarina and it is obvious that she is happy and settled there.We would recommend her to any parent.

Thank you for your kind words! It always makes me feel warm when children and parents are happy with the service I offer in my setting.

Can’t recommend her enough!!

Katrin is the kindest, calmest and most lovely lady and we feel so lucky to have found her to look after our little one (now 2.5 although been with her since 15months). Our daughter absolutely adores her, and her older children, and every morning asks if she’s going to ‘Kati’s house’ today! Knowing she is happy and well cared for makes having to leave and go to work work so much easier!
Katrin always makes sure their days are jam packed and full of fun. They spend as much time as possible out and about, leaning through play and lots of ‘real life skills’ which was really important to us and she puts so much thought and love into everything she plans, really taking into account the individual children and their likes etc. All meals are home cooked and fresh, communication is great and nothing is too much trouble or a problem - she is always on hand to help and support if and when needed and supports home routines etc.
Her love and knowledge of children is so clear. We honestly can’t recommend Katrin enough.
