Ethan has been going to Kim since September 2019 (when he was nearly 2) whilst our permanent childminder has been away for 6 months. I was very nervous how he would make the transition but he settled in perfectly and most days doesn’t want to come home. Kim is a really warm and friendly individual with a lovely home and really welcoming family. Her facilities are great with a big garden with outdoor play equipment and fruit and veg patch. There is a dedicated play room with a fantastic variety of toys and books for all ages plus a little toilet which is good for potty training. She makes varied, well balanced meals which allowed Ethan to try new dishes. She is really flexible with her hours in case I needed to drop him off late or was stuck getting back from work. She also gives me really great advice on his development and key milestones. Ethan is going back to the other childminder when she returns since it works for us better in terms of location. We can’t recommend Kim enough. We will really miss having him with her but look forward to keeping in touch and hope to have her again for babysitting and when Ethan starts school for the drop off and pick up option. Thank you again Kim!
