We cannot recommend caterpillars childminders more! If Ofsted offered a higher rating than outstanding I have absolutely no doubt Caterpillars would attain it! I have asked quite often if Sally can take our boys through to 11years of age unfortunately this doesn't seem possible.
Caterpillars provide variety, diversity, education to your child's needs and work around you to support your family. Could not be more grateful to have found Caterpillars and we have so much to thank them for in the upbringing of our two boys.
It's going to be a sad day when the boys no longer attend Caterpillars. Sally has gone above and beyond our expectations! I've even been jealous that I didn't get to attend some days as education and play always seem enjoyable! Amazing childcare setting!
P.S only yesterday we were late to pick up our son due to traffic, not only was Sally very understanding but the children were all very excited thinking they might get to have a sleepover at Caterpillars!

Caterpillars offer a fantastic, safe learning environment for children and they would always be my first recommendation for anyone in need of childcare. They have worked brilliantly with my children's specific needs as babies and now as school children. I have always felt happy and relaxed knowing they were in a safe and stimulating environment where they have learned so much and developed wonderful skills.
Caterpillars offer all kinds of hands on activities such as cooking, forest time, boogey bounce, as well as trips out to toddler clubs, toy libraries and museums and farms etc.
The staff are warm friendly and accommodating and really care about the children and what they do.
My children are happy, entertained, educated and challenged there and I couldn't ask for more.
