Katie looked after my son from the age of 9 months (July 2013) to 23 (Sept 2014).

I met with quite a few Childminders in my search, but when I met Katie I instantly knew that she was the one. She is friendly, warm and clearly very patient! And as she has 2 young children of her own, I was reassured that she had recent experience. Her house is very homely and welcoming with the garden designed for both fun (slides, swings, outdoor toys) and education (vegetable patch).

Katie provides a mix of structured activities; cooking, painting, arts & crafts and outings to parks and local playgroups/other opportunities to mix with other children.

Katie always did her best to honour my specific dietary requests and the meals provided were home cooked and balanced. I was always amazed how she could get my son to eat such a variety of foods when we struggled. Its for this reason, along with the ability to get him to wear a sun hat, that my husband and I nick-named Katie 'Mary Poppins'!

If you are considering Katie and would like to ask me any specific questions please do get in touch, but in summary we would highly recommend Katie.
