If I could give Kerryanne and the team infinite stars I would.
Our daughter Saoirse was with Kerryanne for around 2 years and we just loved her so much. We unfortunately moved quite far away and I got a new job which was the only reason we had to move our daughter, but every single day I miss them so much. I cannot begin to put into words how considerate, caring and amazing Kerryanne and her team are. They cater for every single child and what I admired about them most is how they made our daughters confident and strong personality shine, Saoirse to this day has learnt so much from being with them, all of the children there were fantastic and very nurturing to our daughter, I believe the different age ranges is so beautiful as they all learn from each other. I would never EVER feel nervous or anxious when our daughter was with Kerryanne, if I'm honest I would call her a second mummy. The environment is perfect for the children and is like a home from home, which we loved. There was a sleep room with prams, cots, you name it, however your child needs to sleep they have it covered, it was so calming and peaceful. We got regular updates throughout the day, always. From every meal our daughter ate ( which were such healthy and hearty meals, I used to make it myself but she wouldn't eat it only Kerryanne's cooking worked😂) , to new milestones hit, to achievements and so much more. It would make my day to receive photos and videos of our daughter and there was never a day she was not happy there, if anything it was a struggle to get her home because she never wanted to leave, she loved it so much. The thought and details that Kerryanne puts into her curriculum is phenomenal. She never forgets a special occasion, not even your birthday! She will always go above and beyond for you and your family. I remember we had such a beautiful personalised calendar made by our daughter as a new years gift it actually made me cry.
Me and my partner felt we could go to Kerryanne for anything, her advice and words of wisdom was so comforting, she would always reply even late at night bless her when she can shut off from work. When we left Kerryanne it was never goodbye as she still keeps in touch about Saoirse's development, even to this day, always checking in and I will always go to her for advice and reassurance as I was super nervous to put our daughter anywhere else. The team absolutely loved Saoirse like she was their own and that really always showed. If I could have even kept her there for her school years I would have!
Every day there just looks so fun and engaging when we used to get updates, there was never a dull moment, our Saoirse always struggled with sitting and was always on the move and what I loved about Kerryanne was her story time always involved the children and would always incorporate movement and dancing, which is what our Saoirse loves. On her very first day she did a beautiful welcoming song with the children for her and Saoirse just slot right in to the group, as I imagine every child they have ever cared for has done. The family are incredible and your children are such a credit to you both, they always got involved and loved the children too.
Kerryanne's knowledge with children is incredible, she will always offer guidance, she will never push you into anything you don't want to do, she was just simply the perfect childminder there ever could be and we often think about moving back to Luton just for her. You won't find anyone who will care for your child/children as much as Kerryanne, her family and the team. They really do become your family ❤️ thank you for everything Kerryanne. You deserve a medal and more x

Ahh thank you for such a lovely review
I thank my lucky stars we found Kerreyanne during covid for our now nearly 6 year old. I remember reading in a review at the time that she's like Mary Poppins, and I couldn't agree more. She is truly one of a kind, and I fully trust her with our children. We have our second child with her now and we have even planned house moves around not being too far from her. She goes above and beyond for the children - the most loving and patient person with a heart and soul of gold. My girls have learned SO much in her setting, and I just love seeing my little ones face light up when we arrive at her door each morning. She is so inclusive of everyone and goes the extra mile in everything she does including for birthdays and other special event celebrations - even down to creating homemade custom layer cakes made wholly of fruit for children's bdays or tying bows around the backs of the children's chairs for tea parties!! I literally cannot say a single bad thing about her or her team and if you are lucky enough to get a place in her setting for your child, you absolutely should jump on it without hesitation.

Thank you so much for your lovely review
Kerreyanne and her team are one of a kind. Before we met I was so anxious about leaving my daughter but from the minute we walked through that door my daughter felt safe it was like a home from home! My son has always struggled with his eating kerreyane and the team have had so much patience with my son that he now eats full meals!
We are so happy with the care our children receive. They are always happy, safe, and well settled, which gives us real peace of mind as parents. The communication is excellent – we’re always kept up to date with how the children are doing and what they’ve been up to, when they’ve been changed it really helps to settle that mum guilt!
What really stands out is how much effort goes into making the setting fun and special for the children. Different events and celebrations are organised throughout the year, which the children absolutely love. Things like hiring bouncy castles and even ice cream vans make it really exciting and create lovely memories for them.
It’s clear that a lot of care, thought, and effort goes into creating such a positive environment. We’re really grateful and would highly recommend the setting to other parents. We would be truly lost without someone like kerreyanne thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for our children!
We’ve been with kerreyanne 5 years now and there is none one else I would rather choose! Thank you again x

Kerreyanne has been an absolute blessing in our lives and was, without a doubt, my first truly trusted childminder. My son had a difficult time settling with anyone before her—he simply refused to feel comfortable. But from the moment he was with Kerreyanne everything changed. He felt safe, secure, and truly at home.
Kerreyanne went above and beyond to help my son with his sensory food issues—something he was extremely resistant to at home or with anyone else. Thanks to her incredible patience and creative approach, he began to try new foods—something I never thought possible. Alongside that, she worked wonders with his separation anxiety. Where it was once overwhelming for him, he now walks into her home eager and excited.
What truly sets Kerreyanne apart is her boundless patience and all the extra effort she pours into every day. From sensory play to messy play, she gave him a world of exploration. She organized outings, gave him new experiences, and even planned special events like a Christmas party and summer holidays—every detail filled with love and care. I can’t recommend her enough. Kerreyanne is a rare gem, and I am forever grateful for the positive impact she’s had on our family.”

Thank you so much for your lovely review
My daughter Mia started going to Kerryanne when she was just 9 months old. As a first time mum, I was very nervous about leaving her with someone else, but those worries disappeared very quickly. Kerryanne was absolutely brilliant.
Mia was not only very well cared for, but Kerryanne also supported her development in so many ways – helping her learn to walk, supporting her through potty training, and encouraging her learning every day. She always had advice whenever I needed it, and as a first time mum I needed it a lot.
The communication was excellent. I was always kept updated on what Mia was doing during the day, what she was eating, and when nappies were changed. That level of communication was invaluable for me.
Kerryanne always goes above and beyond, especially during holidays, organising extra activities for the children, birthday celebrations and even visits from Santa at Christmas.
My daughter is now at school, but I still use Kerryanne during school holidays and Mia absolutely loves going back. I honestly wish Mia could stay with Kerryanne forever.
You will not only have an amazing childminder, but you will gain a friend as well. I cannot recommend her enough.

Thank you so much for your lovely review
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Kerreyanne as the childminder for all three of our children. Our children, now aged 12, 8 and 5, were all in her care from just 2 months old right through until they started school at 5, and we truly could not have asked for a better person to help shape those early years.
Kerreyanne is far more than a childminder to our family — she has become a huge part of it. She has always shown genuine love, patience and dedication to every child she cares for, and our children absolutely adored their time with her.
Our eldest son struggled socially when he was younger, and Kerreyanne worked so patiently with him to develop his confidence and social skills. Through play, encouragement and carefully planned activities, she helped him learn how to interact with others and build friendships — something that has made such a difference to him as he has grown.
Our middle child experienced speech delay, and Kerreyanne went above and beyond to support him. She used a range of creative methods, activities and communication techniques to help develop his speech and language, always keeping us informed and working with us so we could continue supporting him at home as well.
When we began the journey of seeking an autism diagnosis for our youngest, Kerreyanne was an incredible source of support. She helped us understand behaviours, showed us strategies we could use at home, and approached everything with such patience, knowledge and compassion. Having someone so experienced and supportive during that time meant the world to us.
Even now, years later, I still go to Kerreyanne for advice and guidance when I have concerns about the children. She always makes time to listen, offers thoughtful advice, and supports us with the same care she always has.
As a childminder, Kerreyanne creates a warm, safe and nurturing environment where children feel secure and happy. Her home is always full of engaging activities — from crafts and messy play to outdoor adventures, learning activities, and opportunities for children to develop independence and confidence. She encourages kindness, good manners, curiosity and creativity in every child she cares for.
Communication with parents has always been excellent. Kerreyanne kept us updated with everything from milestones and daily routines to any concerns or achievements, and she always worked in partnership with us to support our children’s development.
Most importantly, she truly cares. Every child in her care is treated like part of the family, and that love and dedication shines through in everything she does.
We will always be incredibly grateful for the role Kerreyanne has played in our children’s lives and development. She gave them the best possible start, and we honestly cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for a caring, knowledgeable and devoted childminder.

Thank you so much for your lovely review
Both of my children attended this childminder and we had a very positive experience. From the start she created a warm, safe and welcoming environment where the children felt comfortable, happy and well cared for.
She is very kind, patient and attentive with the children. My kids were always happy to go there and often didn’t want to leave at the end of the day, which says a lot. They would come home excited to tell us about the activities they had done during the day.
She organised lots of different activities, creative play and small celebrations, which made their time there really enjoyable and engaging. It was clear that she puts a lot of effort into making the children feel included and happy.
At home we mainly speak our native language, so English is not our children’s first language. She was very supportive and helped them develop their English naturally through play, communication and daily activities. Over time we could really see their confidence grow.
She also helped the children develop socially, learn to share, communicate with others and become more independent, which was very important for us.
We are very grateful for the care and support she gave to our family. Our children still remember their time there with happiness and sometimes talk about it.
We would definitely recommend her to other parents looking for a kind, reliable and dedicated childminder.

Our experience with this Kerreyanne has been wonderful. Our child joined when he was one year old and stayed until he was ready to start Reception. He was always happy and excited to go, which meant a lot to us as parents. The environment is caring, safe and supportive, and communication is excellent – we were always kept informed about our child’s day. We are very grateful for the kindness and dedication shown to our child and would highly recommend Kerryanne to other families.

My son (now diagnosed with ASD) attended Kerreyanne settings for just over 18months. Couldn’t fault her, she did an excellent job and paid attention to him when he began regression with his speech and behaviour she told us her concerns , advised us and supported us throughout. She attended paediatrician meetings with us and even wrote reports as supporting evidence for us to take to appointments we may have. She was such a brilliant childminder, her shoulder to cry on.
Unfortunately we had to move away from Luton and be near family members. I wish she was nearby so she can become my 2nd born’s childminder.
Keep up the good work Kerreyanne ❤️
Kind regards

You'll be hard pushed to find a childminder like Kerreyanne. She cared for my child for 2.5 years providing outstanding care.
Kerreyanne's setting became my daughter's second home where she felt loved and cared for. My child enjoyed every minute of her time there enjoying a wide range of activities and days out.
Kerreyanne regularly updates parents on where their child is at and her day to day communication is outstanding.
I could not recommend Kerreyanne enough.
