I cannot recommend Kerry and her team enough. She was recommended to me by a friend who also had a great experience and I'm really glad we decided to send our little one there. One of the things she said when we met for the first time is that she treats the children as she would like her own children treated and there is not an ounce of exaggeration in this statement. Our son is a lockdown baby so was not used to spending time with people outside our immediate family which made us very nervous when we decided to start his childcare. Kerry and her team showed him so much love, kindness, care and patience that he stopped crying at drop off after just couple of week and has been happily attending since. We receive regular updates throughout the day with some really cute pictures and the kids get a good variety of child-led and adult-led activity indoors and outdoors. Kerry is also very creative it coming up with ideas for play making sure there is never a boring day at her setting. From themed parties to raising ducklings you will see it all and your kids will enjoy their time there.

My 32-month-old son has been going to Kerrys from June 2019 until Feb 2021 and could not have been happier there. I only withdrew him recently due to a change in our circumstances.
I returned to work full time when my son was 13 months old and was extremely apprehensive about leaving him with someone I didn’t know. I’d had a difficult maternity leave as my dad developed cancer not long after my son was born and died months later. This added to my apprehension of leaving my son and I was worried the stress and grief had affected him. Initially, my son had quite severe separation anxiety but we worked in partnership with Kerry and her team to help him feel more secure when in her care. I honestly questioned my decision to return to work as he did struggle with the transition. However, with patience, kindness and constant reassurance from Kerry and her team he developed the resilience to thrive outside of my care. We have all seen such a positive change in him whilst with Kerry. He has grown into a confident, happy and polite little boy and this is due to the amazing care he has received from Kerry and her team. I honestly believe he would not be at the stage he is without having gone to Kerry’s. Every morning he says ‘I go Kerry’s?’ and is delighted when I say yes. Her beautiful, impeccably clean (even pre Covid) home provided a safe, nurturing space for him to grow, develop and learn. She provides fantastic age appropriate activities that he enjoyed, and an amazing purpose built garden bursting with slides, swings, ride on toys and footballs. Unlike nurseries and many childminders, Kerry provides regular updates throughout the day with photos and videos showing what my little boy was doing. She provides healthy, homemade, nutritious meals and snacks and also treats for birthdays.
Kerry and her team are early year’s professionals who hold the childrens best interests at the heart of everything they do. They genuinely love and care for the children in their care and provide regular development updates and recommendations. Kerry and her setting became an extension of my little boy’s family and he in turn, loves her and the other children there, making lifelong friends. A special mention to ‘Nanny K’ (Kerry’s mum) who my little boy loves dearly. I wish Kerry and her wonderful team every success for the future

I couldn’t recommend kerry and her team enough.
If you are looking for not only a childminder but also a friend who understands the need each child needs and goes the extra mile to ensure they get what they need.
They are very kind friendly.
My son got the best start I could of possibly asked for with these ladies.
I will always be grateful for the love help and support not only did they show my son but the love and support they gave me too.
It’s a fantastic setting very clean and filled with space and outside play.
My son always enjoyed the food and snacks too.

Kerry and her team are absolutely amazing. We had to find a new childminder at short notice and Kerry was so understanding and flexible. Kerry makes sure that every day the children do fun, creative activities which contribute to their development. We have seen our son flourish with her, his language has grown so quickly, his ability to focus etc. Our son can't stop talking about Kerry and the team - or her lovely garden! This is a brilliant environment for children. Kerry really cares for them with such kindness, but also makes sure they developing and having fun. Having our son be at Kerry's has really helped us survive this difficult period of time with confidence, knowing he is happy and safe.

Kerry is an amazing person and childminder. She truly loves children and makes them happy! It’s been almost a year that our daughter joined her childcare and she loves her and her team so much! She is so friendly and professional that our daughter settled just within 2 days.
Kerry is so flexible, caring, clean and with lots of amazing ideas to educate and entertain the little ones. She comes up everyday with new ideas in crafting which are also inspiring for us at home. They have cooking time with the little ones and outdoor activities either in her lovely big garden or in the park. She keeps us updated every day with regular Picts and videos and even during lockdown we had FaceTime.
She is the childminder every parent is looking for! A childminder that you can trust that is taking good care of your children!

The most perfect childcare providers
Kerry & team are the most loveliest people I have met and so happy to leave my child with them.
My child is so excited to go to them everyday and runs straight in
Her setting is 5 Star, the garden is huge with the best equipment, its like a playground. Theres a huge tower swings and slide, she really dedicated her home for our children.
I get FaceTimes, updates all day. Its so lovely to see my child playing.
I had trouble settling due to covid and my baby just being with me she had separation issues but Kerry offered us over in her own time many of weekends for a tea so the baby could understand Kerry, the house and that everything is going to be fine because mummy and Kerry are friends
Homecooked food, even have photos of that! They are just perfect Please please look at the garden, the children are entertained all day :-)

Kerry is a wonderful childminder who has gone the extra mile for us and our two children. I contacted her in June as we were told our nursery wouldn't be opening until September. We visited a few other settings but knew straight away Kerry's was the right place for us.
She is so flexible and friendly and her Mum Karen and sister Kirsty are also very lovely - they make a great team. Kerry gave us lots of settling in sessions which were all free of charge and was very flexible when we went on holiday. Our two loved it as soon as they arrived and there were no tears - they just walked in and got playing with the other children and toys. They always talk about and look forward going to Kerry's house and have a lovely time when they are there.
Kerry is very responsive over messages. I get sent regular updates each session with photos of the children playing on the trampoline, wendy house, push along cars etc. in her lovely garden and loads of crafting/painting/baking activities. They are always very well fed and really enjoy being is such a friendly homely setting. Kerry's home is very clean and tidy but well set up for messy play and inside and outside activities.
I would definitely recommend Kerry, Karen and Kirsty as excellent childminders - I'm very happy we found them!

Kerry and her team (mum and sister) were a life saver for me back in January 2020. My son struggled to settle with our previous childminder and I was looking for someone who would have the time and patience to help settle my son. Kerry is amazing and my son settled instantly, he is so happy at Kerry's house and he now waves goodbye to me with a smile on his face when I drop him off, what every parent wants right?
I honestly couldn't be happier with how things turned out as I now feel like I have the best childminder in the area, thank you Kerry, Karen and Kirsty xxx

Wow, what can I say. Kerry and her team has looked after all my children over the last few years.
She cared for my youngest only a few months ago before Covid-19 and I will continue with her once my older children return to school In September.
Kerry has always been so informative and caring even in this unprecedented time.
Her home is clean and welcoming and all my children has felt safe in her presence. Just look at the children’s faces when you visit her! They all so happy.
She provides outstanding care and when my son wasn’t settling in well after 2 weeks she continued to work with me to ensure he settled. It wasn’t easy for me but she reassured me with constant text messages and pictures..
My oldest children always speak of Kerry and say how much they love playing at her house.
If you’re looking for a safe, clean , loving and educational settling don’t hesitate to contact her.
She’s been amazing from day one and has done more than childminding for our family!
Well done Kerry and team!

Kerry is one of the best childminders I have had and I would recommend her to everyone. My children have been very happy and looked after so well. I have complete peace of mind when my children have been with Kerry. My son has developed so much and has so much fun all the time. Kerry follows the early years development curriculum which so amazing as I don't have any worries about my son's educational needs.
Kerry provides thoroughly amazing support for me and especially for both of my children.
