My Experience
Kerry - As well as being a parent and auntie who is always surrounded by children I have now been in childcare for 7 years.
Registered childminder(2017-2019) alongside my mum, had an amazing 2 years minding some amazing children but due to u foreseen family circumstances we had to close down the business.
I have since worked at two amazing nurseries- The old railway house nursery and humpties @St Thomas.
These nurseries have taught me so much about being in childcare and Ive loved every moment; it’s made me realise that I loved my business and that I want to go back to where I started!
If you would like any references from either nursery please feel free to ask for details of who to contact ;)
Deb - I worked alongside Kerry as a registered childminder between (2017-2019) as mentioned above we had to close due to unforeseen circumstances.
I then had the opportunity to work alongside Kerry again at a wonderful nursery in Aldridge called Humpties @ St Thomas, unfortunately the nursery had to close which is when I decided to get back on board with Kerry and go back to what we enjoyed most - childminding!
I am a Nan of 6, mum of 3 and have always loved being surrounded by children, it is a passion of mine and I am so glad to have the opportunity to work with Kerry again at our childminding setting :)
Any references from the nursery are available, please ask.

My daughter has been with Kez and Deb for a year now, from the first enquiry on the phone to meeting these marvellous ladies we knew we had made the best decision in her childcare! They have provided outstanding care and activities for our daughter, i am always very informed of my daughters day and progress. My daughter attends weekly activity groups with Kez and Deb which she enjoys too. I am extremely pleased with the care we receive and our daughters progress thanks to these amazing ladies! Highly recommend.

I was really reluctant to use childminders and meet Kerry & Debbie & instantly liked them. Although I couldn't make my mind up between them and a nursery I had chosen so I decided to split the time between the two. Just over a week in and I knew that I was a lot more comfortable with these ladies and my little boy has been so happy with them to a point he doesn't want to come home. These ladies have put in so much work and are very passionate about what they do and it shows. they are very professional and I was very impressed with all their policies and procedures. I get plenty of feedback on his day I don't even feel like I'm missing out.
Highly recommend!
