Recommended without reservation
Katrin has cared for my son for over a year now.
I have been extremely happy with the genuine love and care Katrin shows my son. She enjoys his company and is keen for him to experience new things. They go out into the local community or parks every day, as well as occasional trips further afield.
Her home is welcoming and she has a lot of toys and books for children to engage with. Whenever I have visited during the day, my son is very content there. Television is watched very infrequently. Katrin provides home-cooked meals every day, along with healthy snacks.
My son is confident in her presence and has grown close to her. When he oversteps boundaries, Katrin is firm but fair. She has a calm persona and this encourages good behaviour from both my son and her own children. Katrin is kind, caring and patient.
Most crucially, Katrin has been extremely flexible around my shift patterns, unlike many other childcare providers. She is fair and understanding. She doesn’t charge extra if you are 10 minutes late, nor does she insist that you come to collect your child if he has a bit of a sniffle. She is incredibly reliable.
I have no reservations in recommending Katrin as a childminder.
If you have any further questions, Katrin can provide you with my email address- I don't mind asking any questions.
