Below are some of the comments we have received about our childcare:

“We feel so fortunate to have found Katie and James and our daughter has been very happy with them since starting at 20months old. Katie and James were recommended to us by close friends and we couldn't be more grateful to them for caring for our daughter. The setting is just perfect with lots of space inside and out, the home cooked food our daughter eats there is better than at home, and we love seeing the daily updates sent to us via whatsapp. It is so difficult to find good childcare for children and you wouldn't want to leave your child just with anyone! With Katie and James we are so comfortable knowing she is in good hands and couldn't wish for better carers for our daughter. Thank you so much for your continued care and support, we love knowing she has the best time with you both each day!”

“James and Katie have cared for both my children over the period of the last 5 years and I cannot express enough gratitude for the kindness and gentleness they consistently showed towards my little ones.

From the very first day, it was clear that they possessed a genuine love and passion for their work. Their nurturing nature and attention to detail assured me that my children were in the best possible hands. They not only provided a safe and secure environment but also went above and beyond to create a warm and loving atmosphere that felt like a home away from home.

What sets this setting apart is their unwavering commitment to the holistic development of each child in their care. They embrace children's unique personalities, interests, and needs, and tailor their activities and interactions accordingly. I witnessed firsthand how they fostered a love for learning, encouraged creativity, and promoted kindness among the children.

As people, James and Katie exude warmth, patience, and genuine affection. They truly understand the importance of building strong bonds with the children and their families.

I consider myself incredibly lucky and grateful that my children had the opportunity to be cared for by this wonderful couple. Their impact on my children's lives can't be overestimated, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for childcare. The trust and peace of mind they provide me as a parent is truly priceless”

“James and Katie manage to strike the perfect balance between creating a professional, reliable and informative relationship with parents as well as providing a loving, educational and nurturing setting for children.

Our child has thrived since being in James and Katie's care. He feels part of their family and has made many friends. The themed weeks, delicious and nutritious menus, varied activities and wonderful outside space keep our busy toddler happy and entertained every week.

Warmth genuinely radiates from their home and every day that I hand my child over, I know he is in the best possible care. Thank you James and Katie for all you do for the children.”

“Our son, Harry, has been with James & Katie for nearly 2 years now. 

We’ve been incredibly happy & impressed since day 1. Harry settled with ease immediately and really enjoys his time there. We are never concerned and are thankful he’s in a safe and nurturing environment that is supporting his growth. 

The weeks are themed on different topics, which aids Harry’s play and learning. He loves it. I also think these early years, which are so important, are helping shape Harry into curious, kind & very happy young boy. 

The communication is very clear, daily written updates on key information in his day book and pictures shared on WhatsApp. 

I know Harry will thoroughly enjoy his next 2 years before continuing his journey in school.”
