My daughter loves going to Kerry’s and always comes home happy. Kerry has been looking after my daughter for a year and a half for 3 days per week and I am very happy with the level of care she provides.
Kerry keeps me well updated with photos during the day and takes the children on fun and varied trips including the playground, feeding the ducks and playgroups. She covers the preschool learning making sure she includes literacy, numeracy etc into the daily activities.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kerry, her whole family has welcomed my daughter into their home as though she is their own and I am very grateful for that as being a working mother its very reassuring to know she is being well cared for.

We were so lucky to have found Kerry! Our daughter started going to Kerry when she was only 8 months old but settled in very quickly. My daughter arrives smiling every day and is greeted with a smile and a cuddle, setting her up well for the day ahead. My son also goes to Kerry after school and has a ball every night. Kerry has made both of my children feel like part of her family; so much so that my son often doesn't want to leave at night- which speaks for itself!!!
I love that Kerry does so many different activities with the children; indoor or outdoor, both in her home and around the local area. Kerry provides excellent quality, home-made food for our little one and has been very helpful with my fussy 6 year old, making sure his likes/dislikes are taken into consideration, while also encouraging him to try new foods. The updates and photos we get are brilliant; it really puts your mind at ease to see all the fun she has everyday and what she's been up to. I know I can relax knowing she is safe and having fun. Cannot recommend Kerry enough!
