Kate and her Mum Dawn looked after my son from the age of 9 months old, they where both nothing short of amazing with him. They keep the children busy with lots of activities throughout the day, they attend a playgroup every morning and have regular days out. The love and care they show for every child instantly puts any stress and worries as a parent/guardian to one side because you know they are in safe a reliable hands. I can not recommend them enough, my son still talks about them now.

Kate and Dawn have childminded two of my children over the past 4 years. Both children as they have grown & left to go to school have both expressed how deeply they miss Kate & Dawn which speaks loudly enough! They’re very caring and nurturing throughout the most important development stages of a child's upbringing, the children always come home happy, smiling, and usually with lots of art work! We could’t have chosen a better place to safely leave our children, and we’re grateful for that. They both should be proud of themselves, They go above and beyond. Day trips, play group, party’s the kids have done it all there. If you want to safely leave your children in a setting you know will be fun, exciting, and developing, give Kate and Dawn a call! It was sad they had to growup and leave, many thanks for the last 4 years :)

My Baby has been going to Kate for a few months now and has settled in so well. Kate is very caring and provides a happy and safe place for the children to have fun and learn.
My son has come on a long way already since starting and always comes home smiling.
Kate’s is very bubbly and is happy to get stuck in and have fun with the children and provides lots of activities to keep the children entertained.
We would highly recommend Kate as a childminder outstanding childcare all round 👏🏻

Both of our boys have been cared for by Kate since they were around 10 months old. Our oldest is now 4 and youngest 2.
We are so thankful we found Kate back in 2021! Our boys ask to see Kate on a weekend which is testament to how well cared for and settled they both are. They are both so independent and have lovely manners, both verbally and when eating! And we know a lot of that is due to being positively enforced whilst they are with Kate.
They are kept entertained with mornings at playgroup, days out to pumpkin farms in the autumn and splash pads in the summer. They come home every evening with stories about their day, crafts they have made, what they have had for lunch and are super tired ready for dinner, bath and bed!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kate to anyone, she’s fab!

Kate has looked after my daughter for almost a year now and I can’t express how happy we are to have found her! My daughter was very nervous about going to a childminder, she had a negative experience with a previous minder and so she didn’t attend with Kate until she was 2. We didn’t think she would settle but Kate’s patience, understanding and skill meant my little one settled within a matter of weeks. My daughter now thoroughly enjoys her time with Kate, talks about her all the time at home and comes home happy each day she attends. She has progressed massively since attending and is now more confident in herself which has helped her beyond Kate’s setting. As a family we couldn’t recommend Kate enough and are just very grateful for her amazing service and support.

Kate has looked after my daughter since she was 7 months old and is now over 2. She is attentive, caring and creates an environment that has allowed my daughter to thrive.
She provides structure and has been attentive to my daughter’s interests and I get regular updates and lots of arts projects that reflect topics they learn about, including Christmas and Chinese new year most recently.
My daughter’s development is beyond what is expected and this is in large part due to the support she has received while in Kate’s care.
My daughter is incredibly fond of Kate and will often ask for her when not there which is a testament to the high level of care she provides.
Absolutely outstanding and I highly recommend!
