Our daughter has been with Kiera since she was 10 months old, for over 2 years now, and we have been so pleased with her care. It was important for us to find a caring, ‘mummy’ as we needed childcare for 3 full days a week. Kiera is certainly that. Our daughter absolutely loves going there, and often doesn’t want to come home! Which says a lot!
Kiera takes them on wonderful day trips, garden centres, soft plays, parks, playgroups etc as well as doing fun activities from her home. She has a wonderful outside space with plenty to explore.
Kiera (and her own daughters) are like family to my daughter and it’s such a relief to leave her there for the day, knowing she is well cared for, whilst I’m at work.
Kiera is flexible and accommodating to changes in times or any settling arrangements you need for your child, and keeps you regularly updated with messages on what they get up to with their day.
I shall be sad when my daughter moves on to nursery!

Kiera has been caring for my son for nearly 10 months now, and he is always so excited to see her. I needed to be able to drop him off at 7am and Kiera was more than happy to facilitate this. She is always so friendly and welcoming even at that time in the morning. Kiera has a great selection of toys for the children to play with and the most amazing garden with a play frame, ride on toys, water tray, sandpit and in the hot weather a paddling pool. She takes the children on trips out to farms, parks, and playgroups. Kiera also provides age appropriate arts and crafts and stimulating activities to help your child develop. During school holidays she also care for my older son who equally loves spending time at Kiera’s. She sends regular updates and pictures of what they have been doing which is lovely. Both boys have been happy and thrieved under her care. Thank you Kiera!

Our little girl has been looked looked after by Kiera for about 7 months now, and she absolutely loves her. We have never once struggled with drop offs, and can tell that when she’s there she’s looked after really well. We are updated all throughout the day about what they get up to, all their trips out and activities, meals and naps. We really think our daughter has developed so much since going due to all the stimulation she gets while there. Kiera has been lovely and flexible with us around start dates, and change in days which has been amazingly helpful! Could not ask for better!!

My daughter Margot has been going to Kiera for almost a month now and we couldn’t be happier.
Kiera has been so understanding Margot’s transition from being at home full time to spending time without us.
Kiera is brilliant at keeping in touch with us throughout the day which is such a comfort.
The one thing that was most important to us was that Margot felt loved and secure when with her childminder and in Kiera we have found a person who cares so obviously for our daughter it’s like another member of the family.
Thank you so much 😊

My 10 year old son did not want to go any childminder, so i was very worried when i had to find one.( I LOVE IT THERE EVRYONE WOULD LOVE I MEAN LOVE TO GO THERE THEY TREAT ME WITH RESPECKT AND I LOVE IT THERE. SHE TOOK ME TO THE WATER PARK ,DESSERT SHOP). This sentece was written by the 10 year son. Due to the nature of my gob i had to leave the house early , so it was hard to find anyone who could help me with the early mornings shifts . Kiera was very considerate,she snds me regular updates of all the activitie they did and wherever they hav3 been . This made relaxed at work. I will recommend Kiera over and over again.

We looked at a few childminders in the area, but Keira stood out for me.
She is bubbly, organised, caring- just amazing really. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my little
One. I’m delighted that I can go to work
And not worry about anything when my babe is with her. Just the BEST

Kiera looks after our daughter a couple of days a week and in the holidays, our daughter LOVES going to Kiera’s and always comes home happy telling us about her day. Kiera is always arranging trips out for the kids that they love and if they’re not going out they will be doing indoor activities or out in the garden where kiera has climbing frames, slides and swings. Kiera is very friendly, always happy and very welcoming to us and our daughter! Highly recommend!

Kiera is a superstar! She has looked after our son since he 16 months old and he loves his days with her. She has endless energy and takes the children on amazing trips to the farm, soft plays, toy town and even chessington. At home the children do lots of crafts, play and enjoy the garden which has every outdoor toy going. Kiera has been great at encouraging our son to build confidence and develop his social skills. She’s extremely communicative throughout the day and sends lots of photos of our son having a wonderful time.

Our son started with Kiera in July 2023 and he absolutely loves it. Kiera is a brilliant child minder, loving, caring, communicative and pulls out all the stops to give all the children the best experience, with lots of fun, games, activities and trips. She clearly cares a lot about all the children she looks after and that shows in how much our son enjoys going there and he also likes spending time with Kiera's daughters who all make him feel like part of the family. We would definitely recommend Kiera to any parents.

We have been extremely happy with the childcare our children have received since starting with Kiera in December 2023. Our son (3yo) and daughter (1yo) spend 3 full days at Kiera’s each week. Kiera strikes the perfect balance between fun day trips out and visits to local playgroups as well as playtime and arts and crafts at home. The children have use of a playroom full of toys and a large outdoor area complete with climbing frame, sandpit, ride ons and playhouses. Our son is always excited to tell us about what fun things they’ve been up to in the day and both children often don’t want to leave when we go to collect. We couldn’t recommend Kiera more highly.
