We entrusted our twins to Katalin when they were just 10 months old, and we couldn’t have made a better choice! We stayed with her for two years, and our children absolutely loved being in her care.
Katalin is extremely reliable, caring, and above all, flexible. Despite our many requests and last-minute changes, she always supported us with kindness and understanding. Her home is warm and welcoming, full of age-appropriate toys, and the lovely garden gave our twins so much space to play outdoors.
She also provides excellent communication and always offers varied and nutritious meals. We are truly grateful for the love and dedication she has given our children.
We will always remember our time with Katalin with affection, and we would recommend her without hesitation to any parent looking for the very best childcare.

My son has been with Kata since he was 1 year old. He quickly got used to his new environment as Kata recognised his needs and the amount of attention he needed to settle in.
Kata's setting is very warm and welcoming with lots of toys to keep children interested and help their development. Kata is very caring and flexible and always addresses my concerns/worries as a first time mum. I coudn't recommend her highly enough!!!!!
