I can honestly say she is absolutely fantastic! I have never had any doubts that my daughter is totally safe and taken care of which was really reassuring when I returned to work. I love that the days are interesting and varied - they go on trips to Dean City Farm, to Morden Hall and to lots of playgroups. She cooks them delicious and nutritious meals, and you get a little report in a book after each day there which is nice - where they went, what they ate etc. Katarina also keeps a portfolio for each child and there's a real focus on the different areas of learning - numeracy, physical development etc.

My daughter always gets excited when she knows she's going to Katarina's and barely has time to give me a cuddle goodbye sometimes! So nice given stories I've heard about children clinging on and crying when dropped at nursery but also illustrative of the fact My daughter enjoys her time with Katarina.

I don't have any bad feedback at all - I can honestly say we feel lucky to have found such a great childminder.
