My Summary
About Me
My name is Le Blond and I am 41 years old, I live with my husband James and we have three beautiful children together. James (13), Jack (10) and Kathryn (Katy 7). We adore being outside and in our free time we are always out exploring and enjoying long country walks. In my free time I love photography & spending quality time with my family. Being outside is something I have incorporated into childminding and we are always out climbing trees, jumping in puddles. spotting birds and having fun. I have a very welcoming playroom where I base my activities throughout the week as well as a 160ft garden with lots of little furry friends (cats, ducks, bearded dragon and fish).
I regularly meet up with other childminders and spend time at outside and indoor playgroups.
My Experience
I have been a childminder for two years and have plenty of experience in that time.
I look after 2-3 children a day and have a planned routine each day.

I became aware of Kerri before we started looking for a childminder for Jackson thanks to her Instagram page and was thrilled when she said she had a space. I wasn't wrong as Kerri made going back to work and leaving Jackson so much easier than I thought was possible. Kerri is so warm and loving with all children in her care and her home is perfectly set up to make the children feel comfortable. Kerri's own children are lovely and welcome Jackson on the doorstep every morning with huge smiles.
Jackson was born with medical issues meaning that he has difficulties with eating. This made it even harder to leave him for a whole day but Kerri listened carefully to his issues and has worked with us over the last 8 months to make sure that all of his needs are met.
Kerri loves taking the children outside and attends different play groups and does a lot of activities with other childminders as well as by herself at home. She takes a lot of time setting up activities, often with themed weeks, which Jackson loves.
Kerri keeps us updated on Jackson's progress with regular updates and photos as well as the daily update in Jackson's book where she documents, what he has eaten, how much he has slept, and what Jackson did that day.
With Kerri's help, we have a very happy and settled little boy.

Kerri has been looking after our son Jack since he was 10 months. He is now 28 months old.
We could not recommend her highly enough.
Jack loves going there and it feels like he part of her family. Her children love him and he loves them.
She focuses on outdoor play and Jack is a regular at the local playgroup which he just loves.
We get updates every day he is there and we have a childcare diary where we can see how long he has napped, what he has eaten, his communication skills etc.
If Kerri isn’t outdoors then she is planning and making the most wonderful activities for all of the children. You just need to follow her Instagram page to see how much time and energy she puts into her work.
In addition our 5 year old daughter Isabelle sometimes goes to Kerri in the school holidays. Kerri’s daughter is a little bit older than Isabelle and she loves to play with her. We feel very lucky to have found Kerri and will always be grateful.

Elodie has been with Kerri since 8 months old. Kerri is so natural with children that elodie has run in ever day with so much ease, it is like sending Elodie to a family member. It has taken the big stress of going back to work away as I know Elodie is in such good care!
Kerri so gentle and supportive with Elodie. Always making Elodie feel as comfortable as possible and giving lots of cuddles and understanding.
Kerri does so much with the children which Elodie loves! I have never worried about elodie missing out from not being at nursery as Kerri constantly has new sensory activities, playgroups, park trips or trips with other childminders.
Kerri makes all the children feel part of the family and it’s great for Elodie to play and learn for her own children. Elodie loves seeing them and is so excited when she is dropped off.
It’s a pleasure to be able to send her to an environment so home from home, and so nice to have such an easy drop off on ‘Kerri’ days!
Thank you Kerri!
