Mrs Applebys's Reviews

Wonderful childminder

We are very happy with Katrina. Our daughter was 21 months old when she started at her setting and at that time she was not talking. After couple of months she started talking and now she can’t even stop 😁. Since she started, her development has been unbelievable. We can see how much she loves her as even when she is at home, she thinks and talks about her. In the morning she can’t wait to go, so that’s the best sign we could see!
We are extremely happy that we can send our second child at her setting in September.
We would definitely recommend her!

Exceptional childminder

Katrina is an amazing childminder, she provides an incredibly high standard environment for the children, takes time to plan fantastic activities and also provides a varied and healthy menu.
My daughter has progressed so much since being in Katrina’s setting, and adores her and her family.
It really is a home away from home for my daughter and we are so thankful that we found her - she has been and continues to be a huge part of my daughters development in her early years!

5 star childcare

Katrina is an exceptional childminder, her kind and nurturing approach is felt as soon as you meet her. She does wonderful activities with the children, cooks delicious homemade meals and makes her home a second home for your child.
The settling she has created within her house is by far the best I have seen.
Mrs Appleby’s Childcare is in a class of its own, I highly recommend.

Outstanding Child care provider

My daughter joined Mrs Appleby's in April 2019, she was 2 and a half years old and had never been left with anyone outside the family. Katrina not only worked with us to make sure that she settled into the setting really well but she also Improved her confidence. Isabella was happy and relaxed within the setting, trying new foods and learning at every opportunity. We were updated daily on isabellas activities and felt completely at ease with how her day to day care was carried out. I can not recomend Katrina enough my only wish was that we didnt have to leave and could have continued on but all the work Katrina did made settling into Pre-School a lot easier. Thank you Katrina from all of us, especially Isabella xx

Outstanding provision

Mrs Appleby has cared for my son since September 2018 before and after school. It was so important to me to find a child minder who could offer a 'home from home' experience for my son and I couldn't have found a better fit for us both. The home setting is warm, welcoming, safe and incredibly well resourced covering a wide range of ages. Mrs Appleby herself is calm, caring, professional and nurturing and has gone above and beyond to support our needs and care for my son. My son absolutely loves his time there and is often coming home with craft activities or eager to tell me of his stimulating experiences at the setting. I am very thankful to have been recommended to Mrs Applebys childcare and I hope to remain with her for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!
