Our daughter was approaching 1 year old when we began our search for the right childminder and it was the biggest decision for our family at the time. We were incredibly fortunate to see Kathryn early on and we won't forget the sensation of 'knowing' we had found the right person. Kathryn came across as friendly, experienced, sensible and, above all, safe; while at the same time we felt that our daughter was entering an established family-like environment - all of these factors came together to give us the full confidence to put our child into Kathryn's care.
It's now approaching 2 years later and Kathryn has shown amazing consistency with the balance of professionalism and care that you simply cannot put a price on. Kathryn has maintained a wonderful routine of activity, learning and friendship while giving our daughter exposure to so many fundamental elements; while all the time keeping a comprehensive record of our child's days. Kathryn's influence on our daughter's development has been incredibly positive and we, as a family, are forever in debt to her efforts.
