Excellent childminder

Kathleen has looked after my two children for years and I recommend her very highly she is always friendly and is a lovely person and very flexible as you can imagine with young children things don’t always go according to plan she has a great house and is always actively encouraging the children’s development now they are a bit older I can see the benefits in them. I would give her full marks!

nice lovely childminder

My daughter loves going to Kathleen and she smiles when she sees the Margaret (assistant). She went in nearly 3 months and I was never nervous leaving her.

Fabulous childcare for my little boy

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.

Simply amazing (wish i could give more stars)

Where to start... as a first time mam and never really used a childminder before kathleen made us feel so welcome to her home. She sat and went through everything and i mean everything with both me and my husband, we fell in love with how happy and bubbly she was and our son was more than happy to be sat on her knee. First impressions 5*. Our settling in days were amazing kathleen and her team made us feel so at ease which is what i needed being the stresser that i am, our son had a wail of a time throughout the settling in period. Hes now 4/5 months into being with kathleen hes come on leaps and bounds has some amazing friends for life and i couldn't wish for anyone better to have son our very own marry poppins, she is truly amazing at what she does, not just our son but all the children that are in kathleens care love her as much as we do, she and her team have now become a permanent members of our family.

A great help!

I contacted Kathleen to see if she could look after my 1 year old and 4 year old temporarily while I am doing a training course. She was very kind to listen to my stressful situation and took to the kids on their first meeting which made me feel confident they were in good hands. Whenever I picked them up from then on they seemed happy and stimulated from engaging in activities with the other children.

One in

Kath is a very friendly, caring, knowledgeable woman with a heart of gold. After having such a short lived horrid ordeal at a nursery with my 2 year old little girl I removed her immediately and looked on childcare.cu.uk and reached out to a few minders on there and after speaking with then it was Kath who I decided to meet up with, her welcoming me and my 2 children into her warmly home and presence.
I sure am glad I chose Kath as a minder as I have found an absolutely Amazing Woman, Kath not only looks out for the needs of children but also you as a family too. As it is Kath is currently supporting me/my family through a very tough time offering a good listening ear and a good level of support too, she is a very heartfelt woman understanding the situations and the needs for me/my family and is doing all she can to support us through these tough times,
What's more as a child minding role Kath and her lovely team stick to all the rules and regulations of care, health, wellbeing, education and safety of the children carrying out all aspects of what has to be covered by governing rules.
I would definitely recommend Kath and her team to anyone and everyone out there looking for someone with an excellent role in minding your little ones she really is amazing, she's one in a million :) x

Great service. very friendly and family.

Kathleen is taking care of my two kids. they are very shy and don't get along with people easily; however, they engaged with anti Kath very easy. From our first visit, they loved her and enjoy their time at her place. She and her team have great communication. Since I am busy with my job, it is hard for me to call if I need something, but she answers quickly both texts and calls. Her house is nice and clean and safe. with many toys around. She provides transportation from nursery to our house and my kids comes from her house after eating food and playing and only waiting to sleep.

Great childminder

My child has been with kath for over a year now and loves it like his first day. Such a family feel and nothing is to much trouble. Kath has taken care of my child like her own and i feel at total ease knowing i can leave without a worry. Very happy with her service.
