I was in touch with Casey when I was pregnant, looking to arrange childcare in advance as I had to go back to work earlier than most. She was so welcoming and open that I instantly had a good feeling about her! She encouraged me to meet other childminders and see who would be the best fit for me, and after doing so, I stuck with my gut instinct and it was definitely the right decision.

My boy started at Casey's when he was 4 months old, and I have always felt happy and confident to leave him in her capable hands. Casey always arranges fun activities for the children that help them develop and improve their skills. She has a clean and tidy home, and I love that she always takes the children out of the house and into nature, whether it's to local parks, forests, or even the beach. She has a large range of indoor activities too, and is always doing creative things. I also really like that she posts what they've been up to on her IG stories as it's reassuring that you can see all the fun things your child has done that day! Casey also texts me an update of what they've been doing that day and any relevant information, which I also really appreciate.

She has always been flexible, and happy to look after my boy at the last minute when I've had a difficult time and desperately need a break, this is also much appreciated!! At the start of our journey I made a lot of mistakes with timings due to sleep deprivation, and must have been a nightmare to deal with, but Casey was always very kind to me about it.

Every week I get a message to let me know what's on the menu for the week ahead and a relevant theme for that week that is followed in the activities they do. She has a good structure in place so the children are always learning about something new.

I would highly recommend Casey, she is an excellent childminder!
