Kathleen is a wonderful childminder and is Ofsted Outstanding for good reason.

As first-time parents we were anxious about returning to work and putting our son into childcare, but once we met Kathleen we felt confident that we had found a home from home setting and someone who would care for him as we would. He settled really quickly and benefited from the well-structured days, the freshly cooked healthy food and the different activities that she organised both at home and going to the park, play groups, the library etc. Kathleen delighted in our son’s development, noticing the little things as well as the big steps, always giving us plenty of feedback and looking after him on the days when he wasn’t feeling 100%. Her home was always clean, welcoming and full of fun things for the children to engage with.

Our son thoroughly enjoyed his time with Kathleen. The only reason for taking him out of her care was because we moved out of the area away from London. We would highly recommend her as a childminder.
