I have been childminding for 9 years and I love it.I love seeing the children make friends and development in communication and language, Personal social and development and physical development. Also teaching the children key life skills ready for school.
We do lots at little stars childcare. At the moment I look after two sets of twins and have a full time space available. I love my job planning activities for the children to grow and develop. We go to music sensory classes and toddlers groups so the children are well socialised and it also helps with the commutation. We also do sensory activities in my setting and do lots of playing. I also take the children to farms and zoos so the children can have hands on experience with animals.

Kim looked after our twins from the age of 8 months up until they were 4,5 years old. She had them full-time (5 days a week) up until they went to nursery school and then did the school pick-up and afterschool care as well as the holidays once they attended school. We sadly had to leave her as we were moving abroad.
Kim is a very caring and nurturing professional who took the best care of our girls, offering lots of different activities suited to their development needs and providing a loving and nurturing environment for them to grow. Kim often takes the children to playgroups and activities, giving them the chance to socialise while still being in smaller setting than a nursery. The girls absolutely loved going to Kim's house and still ask for her to be their childminder to this day (although we live in a different country). Kim was always very accomodating and communication was easy.

Kim has been taking care of my daughter (Nicole) for almost 2 years (full time). By the way my daughter was acting, it was very clear from the beginning that she really enjoyed being with Kim and her family. She sometimes didn't want to come home or was asking about Kim during weekends or even she was calling me 'Kim' :).
Kim was very understanding and accommodating about my requirements. She is very reliable and honest and CARING.
I am sure we will both miss Kim once this experience with her will be finished but will definitely come back to her once our second child will be ready for childminding.
I highly recommend Kim as a childminder with no second thoughts!!

Kim looked after my 2 year twins on a Thursday for approximately one year. She had such a calm, natural and caring manner that I always knew they were in great hands. The twins now have a nanny due to me changing my hours but still regularly ask to go to. ‘Kim’s house’. Kim was really flexible and always tried to accommodate me if I needed to pick the children up late or switch days. The girls did lots of activities with Kim and went to various play groups and outings. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kim to any parent and I know my girls would love to see her again in future!
