What others are saying about this home...

Lucy

Catherine made our daughter feel very comfortable settling into a new nursery. She really enjoyed learning from Catherine, who quickly became her favourite teacher. Catherine really eased her transition to a new setting.

Amanda

Catherine is an amazing educator. She is caring, attentive and resourceful. All the children under her care simply adore her. As Catherine became my son's key person, he went from not wanting to go nursery to counting the days to be there so he could tell what he learnt/done to Catherine.

Lester

Catherine is kind, nurturing, upbeat and very attentive to our son’s needs and concerns. She was able to create an amazing atmosphere and made sure there was always a fun, educational activity each day. She allowed us as parents to relax knowing he is in good hands. We couldn’t recommend Catherine enough!

Tamsin

Catherine was so wonderful with our toddler when he started nursery - she settled him in with love and care and we didn’t get any tears at all, just huge smiles when we dropped him off. Her skills as an early learning educator are exceptional, and his talking went from a few random words to multiple little sentences within weeks. He particularly loved all the forest school elements she brought in to the children’s days and will undoubtedly have a lifelong passion for wildlife. We are extremely grateful to Catherine for starting off our son’s nursery journey so happily and would highly recommend her to all.

Cherie

Catherine was my son's key worker at nursery. She is an absolutely amazing educator and a lovely person to know. My son adored Catherine and I think it's mostly because she listens so well to the children and tries to help them expand their understanding of the world in fun ways. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Catherine as a childcare provider. She is caring, kind, conscientious and children love her.
