Kerry has been looking after my son Samuel on a full-time basis since he was 9 months old and he is 3 now. Kerry is a wonderful childminder who provides a happy, loving, stimulating and supportive home-from-home environment. Her dedication and love of her work and the children in her care is evident and Samuel’s development, confidence and independence are a testament to her.

Kerry is incredibly creative and all the children love the exciting and entertaining games and activities she plans for them according to each child’s interests and development. There is a real partnership between Kerry and the parents – the detailed daily diary which she provides is brilliant for information sharing. She also regularly sends home their fantastic learning binder filled with observations and pictures and links to EYFS. Learning is fun with Kerry and at home Samuel takes special pride in practicing what he learns with her such as writing his name and counting and recognising numbers.

All the children love the toys, books and learning aides Kerry supplies and changes on a regular basis as well as her beautiful garden and home which are always clean and very well maintained. She played a major role in getting Samuel into a routine when he first started with her, as well as in his social development, personal development such as potty training, and teaching him aides which promote his independence such as a trick to putting his coat on by himself, etc. As a full time working mum I have the total peace of mind that my son is receiving the very best care. Kerry has a special gift for childminding and we are so happy to have found her.
