About Me
I have been a Ofsted Registered Childminder since 2004.
I live with my partner Scott and my daughter Leah who is 19
She is travelling around Thailand Bali Vietnam New Zealand Australia .
We have cats and two Dogs.
A Golden retriever & a little rescue Dog that we’re not sure of what breed She is, but She’s lovely.
A Tortoise and 3 Gold Fish and we love all Animals.
All my family - Animals included ,are very friendly and a little needy of attention in loves and strokes !
I really enjoy my job and my Children are treated like family.
I'm lucky enough to have seen many Children through from babies to secondary, my eldest being 13 and her sister 11 who still come back in holiday time ,as in their words they still need “ kerry time” ,and I’m very proud of the bond I have with my minded children and their families.
All children are given love ,care and encouragement with hugs and praise.
I’m lucky enough to say I love my job and if I could afford to do it without pay I definitely would .
My Experience
I have worked with a range of special educational needs, including Dyspraxia, Social Communication Disorders, ADHD,Epilepsy, Autism ( including non-verbal ) and bereavement to name a few.
I have worked alongside outside agencies and schools, to provide continued individual care for each child.

Kerry has looked after all three of my children. She has built up an amazing bond with all three individually and they thoroughly enjoy spending time in the setting. They all partake in age appropriate activities and Kerry is great at supporting all the children’s needs. Kerry has always had great communication and has always been reliable which has made it easier for me as a parent. I will continue to rely on Kerry to provide childcare services for my children until they are all grown, I cannot recommend her enough.

Kerry has been looking after our son since I went back to work ( just over a year ago) she is amazing with him and he loves spreading time with her and her family especially her dogs. She has helped us so much when my husband is deployed I'm so grateful. Our son loves Kerry and is excited to see her every morning.

I have used Kerry for all my children in last 18 years.
I can't ever fault her.
Kerry Efforts are always 💯 % in everything she does.
It never a dull moment and always Fun Fun Fun to be hard. From day trips out, slip and slide in garden, river and seaside visits, art and crafts. Adventures, messy play, cooking,muddy walks and animals Kerry has everything.
Nothing is ever to much trouble from 6 30 am very early morning starts to covering if you late from work.
Kerry Always there to greet you with a smile and even with a hug.
Kerry not just a child minder she becomes part of your family. Your kids will love her even ditch you for her somedays.
I can't praise Kerry enough, Bella 11 now and still walks there to see her says she will become her Helper that how much she loves it there .

Having two young SEN children means finding adequate childcare is extremely important. I honestly can’t speak highly enough of Kerry. Both children were so happy and their unique, individual needs were met superbly helping them flourish.
Kerry spent time researching techniques and ideas to assist with differentiating activities meaning both children thrived. Kerry certainly demonstrated her understanding of both children and they made it perfectly clear they felt safe and happy with her.
Communication is a must with any childcare setting and Kerry proved not only to be an excellent childminder but also a fountain of knowledge and a big support with regards to any difficulties that cropped up.
Sensory needs, communication difficulties, eating issues and many other barriers were overcome swiftly and it was lovely to see both children develop such a positive attachment towards Kerry and grow in confidence.

When I first looked into having a childminder I was apprehensive but as soon as I met Kerry I knew my daughter would be in good hands. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since she started and I couldn’t rate her service highly enough. They are always out doing fun things and have lovely photos sent daily of what they are up too. She has such a lovely kind way about her that instantly makes you feel at ease. They both have a lovely relationship together and I couldn’t ask for anymore. I would highly recommend Kerry to anyone.

I have always felt confidence leaving my son with Kerry. Kerry has been childminding for my son for 3 years now and always goes above and beyond for my family.
I am so grateful for the care she provides and I always trust she’s taking great care of the children.

My 3 kids (2,4 & 6) love going to Kerry before school. I thought they would really struggle to go somewhere new before school but they all settled straight in and come home talking about Kerry.
I love receiving pictures as I get to work of them all happy and enjoying themselves.
Kerry was able to help me out so last minute and I’m so glad I managed to get my kids in with her.. always a happy face in the mornings as well 😀😀

Kerry is not just a wonderful childminder but also a wonderful human.
She goes above and beyond to look after the children in her care and also supports the parents. In the holidays the children are always out for days trips which my daughter loves. I’m always sent the most lovely photos and kept up to date with their days.
The atmosphere Kerry creates is one of support and kindness, you can see this in the way the older children she looks after treat the younger ones.
My 2 year old loves Kerry as if she is a member of the family and I do too.
I couldn’t recommend Kerry more highly.
