hi, i'm catherine
but you can call me Kate
I know how important it is to create a warm and loving environment for your little ones to learn and grow. I'm an Ofsted registered childminder and hold a valid DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service). I've completed various courses on keeping children safe, food hygiene, fire safety, and Paediatric First Aid. I have a Level 3 qualification in understanding and working with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), recording children's development, developing children's learning and leading and managing a childminding setting. Plus, I have lots of experience in risk assessments and safeguarding from my previous roles in Health and Safety.
I've always loved taking care and nurturing children and, since having my own little ones, have come to realise it's my true passion! I live with my husband, Johnny, my children Roman and Myla as well as our cats Smokey and Luna in Westvale Park, Horley.
