My son has been with Kata since he was 1 year old. He quickly got used to his new environment as Kata recognised his needs and the amount of attention he needed to settle in.
Kata's setting is very warm and welcoming with lots of toys to keep children interested and help their development. Kata is very caring and flexible and always addresses my concerns/worries as a first time mum. I coudn't recommend her highly enough!!!!!

My little boy started with Katalin when he was 10 months old. I was so worried as a first time parent but Katalin was very reassuring, caring kind, understanding and more.
She’s fantastic with kids and very experienced.
Katalin’s setting is always very warm and welcoming. She has so many toys of all kinds. It’s like heaven to the kids.
Katalin try and focus on a balanced diet. My LO always eats really well there.
I like that she is very flexible, if I have to change times or swap days, she never says no. 🙏🏼 Also very reasonably priced.
Overall I would certainly recommend Katalin as a childminder or babysitter to everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great childminder, caring, loving, super patient and calm, clean and allows flexibility, which was what we needed. Our twins love her and she looked after them amazingly, her place is very clean and babies are always ready in their buggy at pick up time. She communicated with us very well and I'm sad we have to leave her right now but will definitely use again if we can and highly recommend her to anyone!

Katalin was looking after my son Alexander years old. I have been extremely happy with the care Alexander has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in Katalin’s care.Katalin’s home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and Alexander has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self assured little boy.
I would absolutely recommend Katalin as a great and reliable childminder.
