Our 2 year old son has been with Cathy, Halima and Alex for over a year now. He loves spending time with them and I can see they genuinely care about him. I never worry when I leave him and go to work. They always have plenty of opportunities for playing outdoors and there have even been a few day trips to the zoo and museums. In the summer they were always out at splash pools or at the water fountains in Granary square.
Our son has made friends with the other children and likes to talk about them over breakfast, before dropping him off. They all get on well, it's super cute. Cathy makes homemade meals that are tasty and healthy which is a big plus for us.
We have never had any issues, they are a warm, reliable, friendly, fun and caring team.

Cathy has been looking after my son for almost two years now, from the time he turned 1. He has spent more than half his life with her and the wonderful family they have. Cathy, Halima and Alex have created such a loving, warm, safe, and encouraging environment for all the little ones in their care. My son requests every day without fail, 'Want to see Aunty Cathy, Alex, Aunty Halima' and all of his little friends.

We are so happy to have found the Bright Minds. Catherine, Alex and the team are fantastic, very kind, reliable and professional and the whole environment is stimulating and fun. Children have to opportunity to spend a lot of time playing outside which is something I highly rate, they also play with music and do fun and creative activities. Our 4 years old son has been with them for 1 year now, Catherine or Alex would pick him up from nursery and now reception a couple of days a week, and they help us during half term or with last minutes requests (they are always very flexible). Our son loves being with them and always comes home with something new to tell us, a new song or a new activity (most of the times he doesn't even want to come back home, as he is having so much fun with them!!). We very highly recommend the Bright minds. Fantastic team!!

My son, Kai, has been with Catherine for almost a year. She would pick him up from the reception on Tuesdays & Thursdays and these were his favourite days of the school week. If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable, kind, professional and simply lovely person, I highly recommend Catherine! Her home environment is safe, creative and fun for kids.

Cathy, Alex and Halima are an incredible team and provided the most exceptional childcare experience for my daughter. She got to spent so much time outdoors and her social and communication skills came on leaps and bounds after starting at Bright minds. She would come home everyday very happy, with a full belly and jabbering to me about all the fun she had.
I found Cathy and her team so dependable and flexible add they really became an extension of our family.
Deciding on childcare for your little one is daunting but I know I made the right decision with this one and truly support their vision. My daughter started at around 9 months of age but we moved abroad at 18 months, honestly the saddest thing about leaving London was leaving these guys and I haven’t found anything that has matched it yet.

We adore Bright Minds! Cathy, Alex and Halima deliver an incredible childcare service that is heartfelt, homey, full of adventure and play. My son started when he was 1 yo and we slowly built up to four days a week - we have been with them for over a year and still going. I love how physical their days are which I feel is important for a little boy. In the summer they spend long days in the park/lido/woods. The mix of ages has been important for his development and has helped our son become a very talkative, very physical, polite and kind little man. We love that Alex plays such a big role in the childcare - a nice change in a very female dominated care system. We’re also grateful that Cathy makes freshly made food and respects our decision not to let our son have sugar. For his birthday she carved a cake out of watermelon and covered in berries and candles. He was delighted! It’s a home away from home!

I highly recommend Catherine and the Bright Minds Childminding team! Catherine is caring, reliable, and consistently provides a fun, safe environment for the children. My child loves spending time there, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. After using their service for two years, they've been an invaluable help, truly embracing the outdoor learning approach.
