I work with my daughter who is serving her apprenticeship with me working towards her Level 3 Early Years qualification.

I cannot recommend Kat’s services enough. As a first-time mum, I was very nervous about putting my daughter into childcare. The thought of leaving her with someone else felt overwhelming, but from the very first communication, Kat put us completely at ease. She was so kind, supportive, and reassuring, and she took the time to really understand both my daughter’s needs and our own worries as a parents.
My daughter, who was naturally, initially upset about being in a new setting now adores her time with Kat and will ask for Kat and the other children when we are at home. It’s clear to us that she is not only comfortable with Kat, but thriving and loving her time with her. Her development has also come on in leaps and bounds since being with Kat. I feel confident that she is having fun and learning in a safe, positive and supportive environment.
We feel lucky to have found Kat’s services. Finding a childcare setting which offers such a thorough level of professional combined with kindness and a genuine passion has been a breath of fresh air and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Kat is an excellent childminder who truly cares about the children in the setting. She is kind, happy and always goes out of her way to help - she has really supported me on the weaning journey as an anxious first time mum. The other children are polite and always smiling or playing when we are there at pick up and drop off. Our little girl has really come out of her shell and has learnt how to interact with other children since joining Kat. Something that Kat is excellent at is listening to your routine and understanding what works for our little girl - she knows if she needs an extra sleep and will always do this in a way that it doesn't impact her sleeping at home. She is able to try new foods at Kat's house and as we've had a particularly tricky weaning journey Kat has played a part in bringing our LG along with feeding, always offering warm and tasty meals. I always feel completely at ease leaving my little girl with Kat and would highly recommend her to anyone I know.

My youngest has attended the setting since he was 9 months old and he has blossomed into a wonderful little boy. Were kept up to date with everything we need to know and last minute changes have always been easy to sort.
My eldest attends during school holidays and he too loves to go. Thank you Kat ☺️
