My daughter has been with Kerry since she had just turned 1, she will now be turning 4 this year. Kerry is the perfect example of a fantastic childminder. She always goes the extra mile for each child and for the parents. Kerry takes the children to playgroups and does lots of fun/learning activities with them. My daughter has developed a huge amount of confidence and learning which now she goes to nursery her teachers comment on how positive her confidence is! Kerry still picks up my daughter from nursery and has her during half term as I would much rather she stayed with Kerry than arranging after school club etc. I highly recommend Kerry as a childminder as the environment is like home from home which I found extremely important when looking for a childminder. Thank you for being the best Kerry!
Our daughter has been with Kerry since September 2021 and has flourished with her support and care. I wanted a homely feel with a nurturing childminder because she was so young, just one, when I returned to work and Kerry has delivered. Kerry is warm, friendly, considerate and has been flexible with our needs and changes to work schedules. Our daughter enjoys her week with Kerry and the variety of activities they get involved in, the regular groups they attend and making use of all the toys and enrichment opportunities Kerry provides. I would 100% recommend Kerry and the experience and skills she has with young children.
Kerry has been childminding my son since he was 9 months old ( he is now nearly 2). Kerry helped ease my anxiety over leaving my son and returning to work for the first time, she is very patient and understanding. I couldn’t of wished to have found a better childminder.
Kerry provides a fun and comforting environment for the children and you can see she has a genuine passion for childcare. My son even took his first steps at Kerry’s, which Kerry instantly sent me the video of and I will treasure forever. I love hearing the report of his day and he is always coming home talking about the other children he has played with (including her own 2 children who are so polite and welcoming) or with paintings and crafts they have done that day.
I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self assured little boy.
I would absolutely recommend Kerry as a great and reliable childminder.

Gosh - thank you so much. A pleasure and an honour to care for him. X
Kerry has looked after our son since he was 10 months old, now nearly 3, we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.
He has thrived and developed into a well rounded young man with Kerry’s support. I am always keen to hear where they have been and what activities he has been involved in as she offers such a wide range of experiences.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kerry to other parents!

Thank you so much - it’s an honour and a pleasure to care for Rory - can’t wait for baby no.2 x
Kerry had my daughter from the age of 8 weeks. From the very start Kerry made everyone one of us feel like part of the family.
Always a warm welcome in the morning. My daughter NEVER once refused to go in.
Kerry is approachable, practical & accommodating.
Kerry is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of childcare but also puts a mothers touch to situations.
We were all devastated when we left which was purely because my daughter started school.
