Kate is an absolutely outstanding childminder! My son attended her setting three days a week from 9 months old. We were so lucky to find such an amazing person to look after our son and have such a positive first experience of childcare.

Kate has a wonderful environment that is both homely/secure and nurturing whilst also having a big focus on all aspects of a child’s development. My son did so many great activities and arts and crafts and learned plenty of new things I’d not thought to expose him to yet.

Kate also did a fantastic job of being really aware of his language development and ensuring she was stretching him and teaching him new words all the time.

We had plenty of verbal feedback everyday as well as periodic formal development reviews and photos shared. Kate always involved us in conversations about his development.

I was so disappointed my daughter couldn’t also attend Kate’s setting as we’d moved away from the area at that point.
