Very sad to be writing this goodbye to leap tonight. My second child just finished her time with Kim and the leap family. If we weren't moving from the area then my third child would be going there also. It's a wonderful setting where I always felt 100% confident that my children were in good hands, a priceless feeling.
Leap is more than just a childminder, they have a very good structure to the days and education is very much high on the list. Evidence of this is my first child has gone on to school and already knows lots of the things they are learning.
I highly recommend leap to anyone looking for a childminder.
Thankyou again to all the leap family, we will miss you all!

My son attended Leap from 11months - 3years old and I only have positive things to say. I chose Leap as it was small enough that my son was well looked after, but large enough that he had lots of social interaction with other children. The mix of ages means that he got to learn off the older children and the examples they set, as well as be patient and nurturing with the younger ones. He has turned out to be a kind, well behaved and polite little boy - which was was in no small part down to Kim, the other caregivers and the children in their care.
At the end of each day I would receive a text via whatsapp outlining what he got up to that day and what areas of his development it encouraged (as well as meals, toilet etc) and pictures of him doing the activities and playing with his friends.
Its hard enough going back to work after maternity leave and having to leave your child, but the family feel of Leap made it so much easier, knowing he was being well looked after, learning new skills and having fun with his playmates.

Kim and the team at Leap have looked after our two children since they were 11 months old (now 4 and 2). She’s been brilliant and the children have been so happy there. They were really sad to leave when we moved out of the area. Both children have developed really well with Kim and enjoyed all the activities and outings they’ve been on during their time there. I’ve recommended Kim to other families and will continue to do so.

Kim reached out to us at a time when we were in a difficult situation regarding childcare.
As soon as we met her and saw her setting we knew she was the right person to look after our (then 1 year old) son. The log cabin is amazing! Clean, well organized and fun for the kids! I love that they are able to play outside and do messy activites (all documented with pictures throughout the day) that we wouldn't be able to do at home...
Our son settled in quickly and is very fond of Kim and her family. Unfortunately we are moving out of London shortly and will have to leave the setting... But I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone!

Kim has looked after my 22 month old daughter full time for the past 4 months as the nursery she was in closed. I was very worried she wouldn't settle, as although full time in the nursery from 12 months we still had tears every morning. Few tears the first two mornings... then nothing! All my stressing for nothing!! She took to Kim (& Blue) straight away and settled right on in!
My daughter has a fab time and every day they are out and about doing something different, last week was strawberry picking, the farm, pizza making, the park and play group. And their log cabin / garden is every child's dream! Although my daughter wears a plaster cast full time (which can prove difficult as she cant get it wet) Kim takes it in her stride and just takes extra care when she is playing with the water & sand so she doesn't miss out.
As her Mum I am happy dropping her to Kim's every morning, knowing that she loves it and has a great time. I look forward to the daily feedback which lets me know what she's has been up to... which always has photos attached!
My daughter loves Kim and her family, and it's no surprise that she doesn't want to leave in the evenings!

Kimberley was great with my 6 year old son. Her extensive experience in childcare shone through on the day. It was a very unusual situation but she was very accommodating and handled it very professionally. I would recommend Kimberley and her childminding establishment to anyone.
