Fantastic childminder

Kim has been an amazing childminder for my 18 month old for the past 2 months (November and December). We were so lucky when Kim had a space to take my son for a short period of time while we found childcare, I would have loved him to stay with Kim permanently but unfortunately she already had a child booked into this space from January!

Kim is so kind and caring, she really loves all the children that she looks after and this shows! She had a fantastic play room at home with lots of toys for the children and she is always taking the children out to local playgroups and activities, like the farm and library.

My son left Kim’s with so many craft items he had completed, for fireworks night and Xmas - Including tree decorations and a handmade card. He also got a small gift from Kim which was so thoughtful and kind.

Kim is a great communicator and frequently kept touch via WhatsApp and would send updates at least once a day with photos of the children and what they had been doing that day. On days when my son wasn’t 100% or had cried on drop off she always messaged me with photos of him smiling and playing (usually by the time I was at the end of her road!) to put my mind at ease.

I would recommend Kim as a childminder for all ages, she makes both you and your child feel at home and settled. I would love my son to have stayed in her care but unfortunately we were too late to get a space!
