Casey

Excellent childminder, highly recommend!

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!

Wonderful Childcare Experience with Casey

We found Casey when our son was 2 years old, and from the very first meeting, we knew she was the perfect person to care for him. When we visited her home, Casey was incredibly welcoming, making both of us feel at ease. She took the time to engage with our son, encouraging him to explore the toys she had and asking about his favourites, which really made him feel comfortable and right at home.

For over six months now, Casey has been nothing short of amazing. She plans a variety of fun outings and activities that our son absolutely loves. Every day with her is filled with new adventures, and we always appreciate the regular photo updates she sends, so we can see what he's been up to. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he's having a great time.

Casey was also incredibly supportive when we started potty training, working with us to ensure consistency, which made a huge difference. She's always been flexible and accommodating, helping us out whenever we needed to add an extra day. Our son has made lovely friendships at Casey's, and we’ve been thrilled to watch his speech and motor skills develop while under her care.

As our son transitions into nursery, we know he’s going to miss Casey dearly, as he’s built such a special bond with her and her family. We truly can’t thank her enough for everything she’s done, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding childcare. Thank you, Casey!

The best choice for our children

We found Casey when our eldest was 8m and we are so glad we chose her to care for our children. As a FTM I was anxious to leave my first-born, who was typically a contact napper and still breastfed frequently day and night. Casey was wonderful with the transition, ensuring both of us were comfortable, building a connection and trust. She made a lot of effort to maintain this in the tricky Covid lockdowns too. We had no hesitations in asking her to care for our second as well, and now they both can enjoy adventures with Casey together.

Casey is always creating wonderful opportunities for the children to learn through play, with plenty of activities and resources. I love that they spend so much time outside, exploring nature and developing their gross motor skills. It’s also wonderful for my children to be with other children of various ages. My eldest has gone from being the youngest mindee to the eldest, learning to empathise and care along the way. Both my children adore her and often don’t want to leave her! Thank you Casey for all you do.

Wonderful & Kind childminder.

* My son has been with Casey for a year and a half and I couldn’t be happier.
* He has learned so many things whilst being with her. He learned to hold the pram whilst out and about. He also uses a spoon to eat now. They go on day trips and to playgroups . She has taught him to speak great English as we only speak Polish at home.
* When my new baby is a little older, I will be sending him to Casey.

Amazing childminder

My son has been attending Casey's for six months now.
I find her to be a particularly warm lady, very professional and extremely kind. What I especially like is that she plans different types of entertainment for each day. She regularly takes the children out on excursions to the woods, the park and various destinations where my son, aged 13 months, is learning and having new experiences all the time.
My son is very happy at Casey's - and this makes me very happy. I would thoroughly recommend her.

Thank you Casey, amazing childminder

Deciding who to look after my baby was so hard, I didn’t want to leave him. But even from the first day he was perfectly distracted with so many activities and other children. He was less than a year old when we started taking him to Casey’s and I’m sure it was her encouragement and positive reinforcement that had him walking and talking as quickly as he did.
They go on day trips and to playgroups, they are always learning about different things and they never sit inside, I get updates everyday as well as drawings and the occasional biscuit and cake ;-) Casey has an amazing knowledge and intuition with children and she is so caring and energetic. He also loves Caseys family and is always excited to see them, it’s so reassuring. I can relax knowing he is well cared for.
I am very grateful for Casey and the superwoman that she is, I don’t know how she does it, but she does! Nothing but praise here.

The Best Childminder You Could Wish For

Casey has looked after my 26 month old since she was 3 months old.
I honestly cannot commend, recommend or praise enough.
My daughter has such rich and varied experiences. I am so thankful I was lucky enough to be introduced to her as it was difficult to leave my baby at such a young age but I feel like she became almost like a menber of Casey's family.
They have day trips out snd lots of outdoor activity. Messy play and she has learnt so much.
If you need a childminder, look no further.

Amazing childminder

Casey is such a great childminder and I could not be happier that she looks after my daughter. Casey makes it so easy to leave to my daughter and work full time because she is fun, caring and my daughter just loves to go to her! She always plans amazing activities for the kids based on early years programme, she always takes the kids outside to lovely places and my daughter is always very well fed. Casey is also very reassuring, highly accommodating and considerate to all of our needs. I honestly could not think of anyone that would be a better childminder than Casey.

A positive experience for us all!

Casey has been fantastic with my daughter. I was a bit apprehensive about leaving her as she was always contact napping and breastfeeding on demand, and I had no idea how she’d react to this change. Casey has been so understanding and patient, helping my daughter settle in easily with her friendliness and welcoming attitude. Even during the lockdown when I kept my daughter at home, Casey kept in touch and helped my daughter keep the connection. She always has fun activities planned and is helping my daughter grow in confidence and nurture her skills. I’m kept up to date during the day which is also really helpful.
