My Summary
About Me
Hi I am a loving mum of two who is a registered childminder, I live in the Broomhouse area of Baillieston/uddingston with my family including our two indoor cats. I am fun and enthusiastic with a great passion for caring and teaching young children. I have 14 years childcare experience, 10 of which working in a nursery setting as well as managerial experience, my roles have consisted of: early years practitioner, baby room senior then deputy manager.
I am very loyal and I treat children in my care with the same love and respect as I do my own. The early years are a crucial time in a child's life and this time should be filled with care, love, fun, and happiness, which is my aim. I for one know how hard it is to separate from your child and finding trustworthy and reliable childcare. I believe that as a childcare provider I should also be supportive and empathetic towards other parents who trust me to care for their precious children,parenthood isn't always easy but it sure is worth it.
While in my care I will provide time and care, assisting you in making your child feel: Safe,Healthy, Achieving, Nurtured, Active, Respected, Responsible and Included.(SHANARRI) These are wellbeing indicators which are from Scotland's Framework 'Getting It Right For Every Child' and 'pre birth to three : Positive Outcomes for Scotland's Children' to ensure professionals in the care sector are able to support children, young people and their families . I love arts and crafts, out door play and imaginative play.
I am also registered with the Scottish childminding association, the care inspectorate,
and information commissioners office.

Kim is an amazing child minder. She looked after both of my babies from babies to nursery. She was an extended part of our family. She taught my kids so much and she cared for them as if they were her own. The peace of mind it gave me, them being in her care, was second to none. Kim is kind, caring, honest and trustworthy, I'm so glad she came into our lives.

When I first met Kim I knew she would be perfect for my little boy. She's friendly, warm, welcoming & over all a lovely person.
Each time he arrives she has things planned for them which i really like as you know they are being stimulated. Also gets lots of fresh air too something you don't always get from ur child being on nursery.
I would definitely reccommemd Kim as she is someone who loves their job and it really shows. I always feel at ease when I leave my son.

Kim has been our sons child minder for several months now and she has been a complete God send to us. Our son has had difficulties with allergies and silent reflux to which Kim has understood and been very accommodating to his nutritional needs. She sends my husband and I daily pictures and videos of the activities they get up to and the fun they all have is clear to see. We know that when our son is in Kim's care he is well cared for and always comes home a happy boy. Kim feels like an extended part of the family and having our boy in her care gives us great piece of mind while we have to go out to work. We can't recommend her child care service enough.

After meeting with numerous childminders I finally found Kim. She met my family's needs in every way. From the second I met with her she was welcoming, friendly and great with my children, more so than any other childminders have been. She has a lovely home and does everything in her power to accommodate for me and my children's needs! I would highly recommend Kim as a childminder as would my children!! Definitely a 5 star child minder.
