We are delighted to recommend Kim, who cared for our son for two and a half years until we moved away three months ago. In that time she became far more than a childminder to us. She truly became part of our family.

Kim is fun, caring and loving, and she is full of energy. Children adore her because she gives them so much genuine affection and attention, and they feel completely safe and happy in her care. We never once worried about our son while he was with her.

What sets Kim apart is how rich and varied she makes each day. The children were always out exploring: visiting parks, the library, playgroups and farms. Every day was a different adventure, and our son came home happy, tired and full of stories. She encourages curiosity, confidence and a love of the outdoors, and we saw him grow and flourish under her care.

The clearest sign of how special Kim is: three months after our move, our son still asks about her constantly and misses her very much. The bond she built with him is something we will always be grateful for.

We recommend Kim wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Any family would be lucky to have her. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to know more.
