Kerry has been an exceptional childminder for my son, who has a heart condition. She was always incredibly careful, attentive, and reassuring, checking in with me whenever she needed clarity and administering his medication exactly as instructed, always updating me once it was done.

She was also a steady, supportive presence for my child during a very difficult period in our lives, providing consistency, kindness, and a safe space when we needed it most.

My son was always happy and secure in her care, and I’m truly grateful for everything she did for our family. I would highly recommend Kerry to any parent, especially those needing someone they can trust completely.

My grandson spent over two years with Kerry and I can honestly say she treated him with such kindness and care.He was always happy to go and we could see how much he was growing in confidence while he was with her. She kept us well informed was always patient, and clearly put the children’s wellbeing first and foremost. As a grandmother who regularly collected him it gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’m genuinely grateful for everything she did for our family. And I would highly recommend Kerry to anyone.

Myself and my ex wife used Kerry as a childminder for our son, firstly, in fairness, I feel my son was reasonably well looked after whilst in Kerry's care. I attempted to have a conversation with Kerry but she refused unless the mother was also present.
During the difficult times of separation, Kerry felt it was within her role to attempt to isolate me from my son, even using lines such as 'you just have to realise that children just really love and need their mummies'. Whilst I won't argue this point, sending a letter to the court during our family court proceedings having heard one side of the story was extremely unprofessional. I therefore would not recommend Kerry's services
