I switched from a different childminder to Katie and initially she only had one day spare, a friend encouraged me to take it (even though I needed extra days at the time) because she was so good, so I did...and I have never looked back. I was able to increase days and my son loves being at Katie's. She is patient and kind, whilst setting boundaries and allowing the children to explore at their own pace. The amount of effort that Katie puts into planning interesting and varied days is incredible and my son often comes home with things he had made at her house. She has offered my son a fantastic environment to grow his personality and confidence and I honestly cannot thank her enough. If you're new to looking for a child minder and you're nervous about choosing the right one, you aren't alone, but Katie really will put your mind at ease, she is fantastic!
