My son has been going to Cathy's for 3 years now since the age of 1. I cannot thank cathy and Chris enough for helping me raise my son to become a friendly, loving and clever little boy. Cathy has helped with every aspect of bringing my little one up including potty training. Its clear to see how happy and loving cathys home is by how excited my son is to go there in the morning. I honestly can't believe how lucky we are to have found them.

My daughter now 3 years old, has been with Cathy and her husband Chris since she was 9months old and loves every minute of her time with them (Even tells me to go to work so she can see them!)
I was anxious about going back to work but Cathy gave me and my daughter the support we needed for a smooth transition and now feel apart of our family. Cathy and Chris invest so much of their time into the children the mind to ensure they all thrive and develop at their own pace.
Cathy goes over and above and at times I truly would have been lost without them. They ensure the environment is home from home and have a purpose built playroom in the garden full of toys and books to suit all their clientele.
Their 2 dogs are very well behaved and are careful around the children.

Cathy is an outstanding childminder, my son has been with her since he was 1 years old and is now 3. I cannot fault her in anyway. She is kind and caring with brilliant communication skills, she updates me throughout the day on how my son is doing. I have messaged Cathy several times over the 2 years to ask for parenting advice and she is always happy to help in anyway she can. The kids she has in her care and absolutely lovely, they all get on so well and it’s an joy to see my son playing with a range of children in ages.
She is a amazing toy room built in her garden, She has every toy you could imagine.
Chris is also brilliant, he is very kind, calm and fun. My son loves him just as much a Cathy.
Cathy’s dogs are well behaved and very friendly. I love seeing the children run around with them on the big grassland outside her house.
I am a very nervous mum and I am aware I need a lot of reassurance, Cathy has been nothing but professional, kind and understanding. We have developed a truly great relationship and I couldn’t recommend her more.

My daughter has been with Cathy for the best part of 4 years and has loved being with her. It's a struggle to get her out the door most evenings. Cathy provides a clean, safe and fun environment for children of all ages and has a great relationship with every child in her care. I can happily go to work knowing that my daughter will be picked up from school with no issues and I dont need to worry as she is in great hands

I will definitely recommend cathy to anyone she is like a family to me and my 2 children i have been with her for 6 years she has been there for us. When my youngest daughter was born she was there is in the hospital with me she changed my daughters first nappy and since then she has done every First for her, took her to nursery on her first day and my daughter's first day of reception she was there, my daughter will not go to school without seeing her or giving cathy a hug. If you are looking for a childminder that when you go to pick up your child and don't want to leave then cathy is the one.
