My little boy attended nursery for about 9 months but frustratingly spent a lot of time off due to sickness. I was nervous about moving to a childminder but Kath instantly made me feel at ease. Kath and her team facilitated a few visits for us together before I left my little one on his own for a few hours (he barely even noticed I'd left). When he started, we had none of the tantrums on separation that we'd had at nursery and he very quickly settled into the new routine. My son loves playing outside, singing, and crafts, and I am delighted to hear that Kath and her team do lots of these plus other varied activities and outings. Kath and her team clearly attend to each child's development and ensure their activities cover all developmental areas. They respect my preferences around dummies/diet etc which I know is incredibly difficult in a busy environment. The setting is delightful with a fab purpose-built outdoor space, lots of stimulating pictures on the walls, and a huge range of toys. Kath and her team are more than capable of managing the common grumbling childhood illnesses that do not require absence, but I am confident they would call me if needed. Most importantly I can see that Kath and her team love the children in their care and extend their kindness to the whole family. Kath and her husband even rescued us from the roadside with a punctured tyre, which was beyond kind. I cannot recommend Kath and her team highly enough, and I am at work comfortable in the knowledge that my child is in a safe, loving and stimulating environment.
