Below are the latest reviews for Kathryn. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members 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.
Kathryn was the first babysitter we ever had for our four year old son. She has been extremely kind, patient and professional, all the way from initial communication to the babysitting session. She was quick to confirm availability and took the time to meet our family and son prior to the babysitting evening; understanding his routine, his needs and preferences. This was extremely important and established trust and connection with our son/family. During the evening we received regular updates from Kathryn about our son's activities, sleep, which was extremely nice. Overall, working with Kaythrn was one of the nicest childcare experiences we have had - our son was very happy and told us how much he enjoyed his evening with her. I would recommend Kathryn to families looking for attentive and first-class babysitting in the local area without hesitation. We will certainly rely on her again in the future.

We have had some help with childcare from Kathryn a few times and she is reliable, friendly and very helpful. My daughter loves playing with her and looks forward to seeing her.
She was happy to come over and meet the children briefly before she started helping us out with childcare. This was important to us. Would definitely recommend Kathryn to families with young children looking for help with childcare.

We used Kathryn for babysitting for the first time last month and everything about the experience was fab. Her communication beforehand was thorough and excellent and from the moment she walked through the door she put me at ease, asking all the right questions and clearly listening and also building a great rapport with my daughter straight away.
It can be nerve wracking using a babysitter that you don’t know but I wouldn’t hesitate to use Kathryn again, she sent a couple of messages while I was out so I knew everything was ok and the most important thing… my daughter absolutely loved her, in fact, she’s asking when I’m going out again!

Kathryn looked after our boys 1 & 3 for the first time today and we're all looking forward to having her over again. They both felt immediately comfortable with her, even my younger boy who's known to struggle with new people. Not so with Kathryn. She was so calm, kind and professional. The boys were so engaged with her and had a lovely time. She is great fun and clearly very experienced with little ones and I'd definitely recommend her.

Kathryn looked after our 3 boys; age 5,9 and 11. The 5yr old had communication delays. This didn’t phase Kathryn at all, she clearly has experience here and she proactively took steps to give him more time for transitions and tasks. He doesn’t tend to like new people but he was a big fan of Kathryn! Kathryn’s communication and professionalism were excellent. She quickly built a rapport with the children and we had a restful evening knowing the boys were safe and happy.

Kathryn was really committed to making sure our children felt comfortable with her. She was really professional, meeting us prior to booking to show us references/dbs etc and be able to ask her questions. My children loved having Kathryn to babysit and can’t wait for her to come again!!

Kathryn looked after our 5 year old son and 8 month old baby. This was the first time we have used a babysitter for our children and We were slightly anxious ahead of the sit. When Kathryn arrived she immediately put my mind at ease with her bubbly and pleasant personality. She brought hard copies of her ID and all her qualifications and DBS certificate. She engaged my son as soon as she arrived and he was completely at ease with her and they started doing activities right from the get go. She asked all the right questions and it was clear that she has a wealth of experience in looking after children. Any anxiety We had about leaving our children for the first time disappeared well before We left. She sent us updates throughout the evening as well. My son has asked for her to look after him again and we have already rebooked her. I would highly recommend Kathryn!

Kathryn has looked after my daughter a few times and my daughter was extremely comfortable with her from the first time they met.
She put the effort into organising programmes and all sort of activities to entertain her and make her happy.
My daughter had the best days with her. She is really experienced and her knowledge and patience is outstanding.
I would highly recommend her.

Our children (5 and 7 years old) enjoy evenings when Kathryn babysits for us. She is caring and kind. She is flexible and tries to accommodate us when she can. Communication is straightforward. She is a great carer!

Kathryn stayed with our 4 and 6 year old kids and she was brilliant with them. They loved staying with her, and they had lots of fun with her. She send lots of pictures and videos to keep us updated, and she has really good ideas to keep entertained and with snacks. Even when she spent a whole day with them, they were sad to say bye to her.

Kathryn was wonderful with my 3.5 year old - keeping him engaged and happy with a variety of interesting activities, making sure he was eating and drinking well through the day, and also supporting us with bits around the house! For the time she was with us, I could focus on work during the day knowing that she’d take care of the rest. She was always punctual and polite, and communicated very well with us through the day, keeping me in the loop with any updates and asking if in doubt. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her. Thanks very much for the support Kathryn!

Kathryn has babysat for our 18 month old son, and also for our 2 older step children and she is very popular with them all! She is completely reliable, keeps in contact throughout the evening and is great in particular with younger children. She has even been very understanding with our dog who isn’t great with strangers and has really made us feel comfortable going out. Highly recommend Kathryn!

Kathryn has been looking after our daughter from the age of 18 months. She is an amazing babysitter and I cannot rate her highly enough! Always on time, very attentive and with a bubbly personality. Our daughter absolutely adores her! Kathryn always sends regular updates and photos to make sure we know what they are up to. She is very creative and organises a lot of fun and diverse play time for our daughter. I really recommend Kathryn if you are looking for some friendly, reliable, kind and knowledgable. We are really lucky to have you Kathryn - thank you!

Kathryn was early- we chatted about what had to be done - she was warm and made my boy very relaxed about a new babysitter - exactly what you require in a childminder!

Kathryn has been babysitting for our 6 year old and just turned 3 year old since we moved to the area earlier in 2021. She is fantastic with our children! Her attention is on them as soon as she arrives, she talks to them on their level and plays with them beautifully. I had been in the habit of not being able to go out until after the children were asleep as our children like us to put them to bed. However, Kathryn is so fantastic with them, she makes bath-time fun and is able to get them to bed too. I highly recommend Kathryn!
