Average Rating: 5 stars (5 from 23 reviews)

Ous son had been going to Katarina since he was 10 months old and we are very happy with his care.

Katarina provides a supportive, caring and homely environment. Filled with play, singing, drawing and educational activities. Regular outings to play groups and parks provide extra social interaction.

Her assertive nature provides structure to the day and teaches the children about   sharing and following guidence. Katarina also provides regular home cooked meals and snacks during the day to keeping them well fed. Parents are kept up to date on the daily activities, meals and progress which is great.

Our son is always eager to return in the morning to see Katarina & his friends again for another fun filled day.

We have no hesitation in recommending Katarina as a childminder.

Thank you very much for lovely weedback about my setting. Enjoy your weekend!

Our 2.5 year old boy has been with Katarina for about 2 years now and we are very happy with the quality of care he receives. It's lovely to see how excited our son is when we drop him off each morning, and such a weight off our minds to know just how well looked after he is.

Katarina is a very accommodating and kind childminder who goes above and beyond what would be expected to make things as easy as possible for both the children and parents. The kids are kept active with loads of fun activities and trips out, and fed and watered with lovely healthy home cooked meals, whilst the parents are kept up to date with regular updates on their child's progress.

Finding someone you trust to care for your children is one of the most daunting tasks for any parent, but we got lucky with Katarina and we would recommend her services without any hesitation.

Thank you very much for a lovely review! Glad to hear your little one is enjoying here.

My son has been going to Katarina's since he was 18 months old (he is now almost 3yr) and I couldn't be happier. She is such a kind and caring person and provides a wonderful environment for all the children in her care, my son is always genuinely excited to go to hers after the weekend.
She provides a well balanced environment with regular trips to playgroups, as well as educational trips, eg. to petting zoo/museums etc, all of which is fed back in a daily report in my son's notebook. She provides all meals which are fun and nutritional.
I honestly can't find any fault with Katarina's care and it is certainly a weight off my mind that I 100% trust my childcare arrangements while I'm at work. I would definitely recommend Katarina to any parent.

Thank you very much for the lovely review. It always makes me melt my hear when I hear that children are happy and parents too!

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.

Thank you! I hope little one enjoying a nursery now!

We have used Katarina since our son was 10 months old. He is so well looked after and has thrived under her care.
We feel very lucky to have found Katarina to look after our son and even though he still cannot talk, his face lights up when he sees her.
All of the children under Katarina's care and so well mannered and happy, a reflection of the care that is given!
We have no hesitation in recommending Katarina as a childminder :)

Thank you very much for the lovely review! It is nice to hear your son loves our setting.

Katarina has been looking after my nearly 3 years old son since April 2015. She is always very kind and helpful. I feel that Toby is in good hands with her. I find Katarinka very professional and trustful person as she always explains me everything and she will even end our conversation with a smile and maybe even something funny.
She is very flexible and she tries her best to accommodate my needs. She will text me how is Toby doing and it is very reassuring knowing that my son is safe and I can rely on her.
They always do great activities and Toby has lots of fun there.
I feel that Toby has improved in many areas since he has been with Katarina and I think we are very very lucky to have her!
She cooks really healthy and delicious food and for me seems to enjoy a lot catering for children.
We are very grateful to get to know Katarinka and her loving and welcoming house.
Thank you Katarinko for everything you have been doing for us! :-)

Katerine has been looking after my son since September 2014. She is a kind natured and calm person. She is highly organised and genuinely loves children. She keeps a diary of my sons day with her which I find lovely as you can picture how his day was when your not there! What I find exceptional is the fact that she prepares a lot of educational activities with my son ie reading and arts and crafts etc. my son always enjoys being there and sometimes doesn't want to leave!!! She always prepares healthy and balanced meals. She's a total gem and we are very lucky to have her!

Thank you very much. It is nice to hear that. I will try keeping my best.

My 3 year old son has been going to this childminder for nearly a year now. She is very kind, gentle and consciencious with the children. They are always doing activities, whether indoor or outdoors, and my son has a lot of fun there.

My son's first language is French, and his English came on leaps and bounds when he started going to this childminder's house, as she did specific activities with him to help him learn and was very interactive.

There have been times when he hasn't wanted to go for various reasons, but the childminder has always been kind and patient with him and that is really reassuring as a parent.

She has also been very flexible with us, as our patterns of childcare where always changing, and I am very grateful to her for that, as she has always done her best to accomodate us.

She runs a very clean and welcoming home and is always patient and smiling and willing to go the extra mile.
