Getting my 2 boys sorted, registered and booked in was easy. She sent me everything I needed quickly and managed to even book my older one in on short notice a lot of the time. Very organised.
Really helpful,kind and my boys had a fab time.

Kim had my little one before her maternity, and I can honestly say she made my 3 year old what he is today.
Before going to Kim’s, Rory struggled with a lot. Being at home with me constantly, and never having really left me, his confidence, learning and social skills completly changed and grew - he is now the most social and clever boy I know!
The care Kim also put into the children everyday was outstanding, she says in her welcome pack that she will treat your child how she would treat her own, and this couldn’t be more right.
Kim provided not only my son, but my family comfort.
If I ever have more children, I would always send them to Kim.
P.s the trips!! Oh my goodness! From meeting the gruffalo, to soft plays, to book bug session, it never ended, the children are so lucky.

Everything was discussed and ready to go or so I thought until Kim ignored me for almost two weeks then told me circumstances have changed and she won’t be taking my children any longer. Beyond furious as I now have next to no time to find someone else, we all know how extremely difficult and time consuming it is to find the right provider. She could have just been honest with me to begin with instead of ignoring me for 2 weeks. I wish I could give negative star.

Chelsea,
From the start you were very clear I would only be used as “you could not find another childminder or afterschool club”.
You have messaged with further comments as such, yet have not been in for a visit to my setting, nor have I ever met you or any of your children before.
I do believe I was also very clear that I couldn’t take your children straight away and would need a visit to be completed. A date for a visit was not even discussed.
As I may have taken a week and 1 day to reply, you also took 2 weeks to reply to me, and ignored my messages twice.
To review someone as a “minus negative” over this, is simply silly.
Kind regards
