Below are the latest reviews for Kathleen Chan. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Both my little ones go to Kathleen’s and have had an amazing experience. She and her husband Richard provide a home away from home in a calm, nurturing and engaging environment. They do lots of creative and learning activities and go out and about every day. The setting is spotless and the food nutritious. My little ones’ vocabulary has really develop and they have learned to play well with others and be empathetic. Kathleen also speaks French, Mandarin & Cantonese which is an amazing privilege for little kids to be exposed to should you wish for her to also speak to them in these languages. My eldest one will be moving on to school and Kathleen has prepped him very well for the transition. Kathleen and Richard and their kids are very kind and caring and I would recommend their setting to everyone.

Kathleen is second to none and gave my daughter the best start to her early years childcare and education. With her husband, Richard, she provides a calm, nurturing and safe environment where the children feel happy and loved.
Days at Kathleen's are highly engaging; the children attend a variety of playgroups and parks and the activities she runs at home are meaningful and steeped in learning. Always attentive and flexible, Kathleen would meet my daughter's mood and sleep needs on a day-to-day basis.
All meals are impressively homemade, varied and highly nutritious - every day is 5* restaurant experience!
Kathleen is knowledgeable, organised and professional - providing the most outstanding quality of childcare you could ask for.
Thank you for being the warm, fun-loving and patient carer to our little girl who adores and aspires to be like you!

We are sad to be saying goodbye to Kathleen and Richard as our daughter has been so happy and thrived in their care. We are moving out of London and one of my main worries is if we will find someone as good! Our daughter started here at 1 year old and settled quickly. I was a little anxious about it but Kathleen ensure everything went smoothly and it wasn’t stressful at all. Our daughter is happy to go there and leaves smiling, having eaten excellent homemade food and enjoyed a wealth of different activities. She has really come along in her development and routines since starting with Kathleen and we will all miss her very much.

Two years ago we decided Kathleen to be our son’s (17 months old at the time) childminder and we are very happy with our decision. He is quite a sensitive child and Kathleen has been very patient with him, helping him to navigate through the different phases. She has been very helpful and has guided us through the settling period at the start and through other milestones along the way. We get daily reports and updates (written and verbal) about my son’s day, which we find very useful. We are confident that he is in the safe environment at Kathleen’s, where he learns something new every day. Highly recommended!

Our little boy has been with Kathleen since he was around 15 months old and we have had such a brilliant experience. He settled so quickly and now really looks forward to going every day. She is firm but caring and kind with him and he always talks about all the lovely activists they do and the other children he plays with. He also had some food allergies when we first joined and she was so considerate, helping us slowly introduce things into his diet getting to where he is today. He now thoroughly enjoys all her homemade cooking! We couldn’t have asked for more.
