Kerry

Amazing

Kerry was recommended to me by another childminder. My 3-year-old daughter started her second year at Kerry's house. I am picky when it comes to the people surrounding my little treasure, but Kerry's house is a lovely place to go to. My daughter loves going to Kerry. She spends long days there but always meets me with a big smile when I go to pick her up. I know she is happy there and whenever I ask about Kerry, she only expresses good emotions. My daughter loves playing with other children there and Kerry's own son who taught her football :).

I find Kerry professional, kind, understanding, and helpful. You can tell she just meant to be around children as this kind of work is not for everyone. I know my little one is taken care of when I leave her with Kerry.

Thank you so much, Kerry :)

Kerry ‘Ouse

My son is about to start his second year at Kerry’s, he started attending just before his second birthday when I started full time work.
Having been a childminder myself before I was fussy but my husband and I knew almost instantly that Kerry and her home were exactly where we wanted our son to be when he couldn’t be at home with us.
He has the time of his life at Kerry’s house and talks non stop about how he spends his days, his cat (he claims Kerry’s cat as his own now), the friends he has made and the family he very much feels a part of at “Kerry ‘Ouse”.
He has come on leaps and bounds in his social skills where he has genuine empathy and interest in the world around him, his speech quicky became clearer, his independence became stronger (sometimes frustratingly so when we are in a rush and he wants to do his own shoes and coat) and he is genuinely so excited when we turn into Kerry’s road and he realises where we are going.
Kerry is simply the very best of the best, our son and our whole family can vouch for that as she quite often goes above and beyond for not just our son who attends regularly but on occasions for his siblings when there have been emergencies and we need someone to care for them too. Plus she’s very good at a quick therapy session at drop off and pick up too.
There is nowhere I would feel more comfortable leaving my sons and I know that Kerry treats and loves my son like he’s a member of her family because he shows in abundance that this is how he feels and for a working mum there is no better feeling when I can’t be with him myself.

Returning parent

I provided a review for Kerry back in 2020 when my daughter, who is now 7, attended Kerry’s Kiddies when she first opened. 4 years on and my son is now in his 3rd year of being with Kerry…there’s nowhere else I’d rather him be. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I planned my spot.
I wanted a home from home environment that would stretch their minds while learning and interacting in different social environments and Kerry hits every mark; the progression I have seen in both my children over the years is all thanks to Kerry - without her I couldn’t go to work but knowing they have been safe and nurtured is all I need. I struggle with the crying trying to get them to go home not drop them off!! Any little one would be lucky to have Kerry as their childminder.

Amazing

I am so lucky to have met Kerry and Kelly. My daughter loves being with her and have become great friends with Kelly’s children too. She is extremely reliable and flexible- always there to help.

The best

Kerry and Kelly, they have been taking care of my older son for over 2 years, now my son moved into reception and they are taking care of my other little baby.
I am so pleased with them. I trust them 100%!
Two lovely childminders with the passion for kids, we are grateful we have met them.

The Bests!

I am so glad I found Kerry and Kelly. My son Noah has been with them since he was 8 month old, he is now a 2.2 year old very curious and happy boy. He has settled in so quickly and I felt so relieved that I could trust my precious little man to someone so capable and lovely as these dynamic duo. Thank you both so much.

Outstanding childminding

My daughter has been going to Kerry since she was 1 years old, and my son Finn (4), more recently after preschool. Kate warmed to Kerry and the setting very quickly, Kerry has such a friendly outgoing nature and she has an obvious love for looking after children and seeing them grow and develop. Kerry involves the children in so many activities and takes them out to so many lovely places - they are never stuck in doors which I love.

Kate has developed and grown in confidence whilst at Kerry's and along with Kelly has learned so much and made such great friends. Kelly updates the Baby Days app updated daily with photos and sleep times, which is a lovely way to get a feel for how our children's day has been whilst we are at work.

I couldn't ask for two better people to look after my two children. I would recommend Kerry and Kelly to anyone looking for a very loving and fun filled setting.

Kerry and Kelly

My son Jaiden, has been with Kerry since last august. She is an excellent and lovely childminder.
Jaiden is so excited everyday to go to Kerry's and he cannot wait to spend another day in great company of the others kids and the other lovely childminder named Kelly, which is Kerry's assistant.
At home I speak only in Italian with Jaiden and his English is developed so well since he is attending the nursery.
Kerry is very experienced, has a natural talent and empathy with children..I would say she definitely is the kind of person that loves her job and being around kids(as well as Kelly)
She is really patient and very understanding with the kids and the parents.
I am grateful to Kelly as well as she is such a sweet childminder/person.
I have never seen any of them a day without the smile.
Kerry uses an app to keep us informed about anything, from invoices, to medication, to how many naps or the length of the nap, photos etc.
They definitely provide a healthy environment, with plenty of fun activities indoor and outdoor.
I feel reassured when Jaiden is with Kerry and Kelly, and I feel Jaiden like at home with them and the kids.
I would definitely recommend Kerry's kiddies to anyone!!! xx

Kerrys kiddies

Kerry has cared for my son for just over a year. He enjoys going to Kerrys, and looks forward to his afternoons with her. He is always very happy and relaxed when we collect him. There's a real family atmosphere about the house - in a very positive sense. Kerry is an extremely committed professional, always giving children her full attention during sessions. At the same time she's able to talk easily to the parents and pass on anything she knows will interest or concern them. We feel very lucky to have found Kerry to care and look after our little boy.

Amazing!!

I was so lucky to have found Kerry’s Kiddies. My daughter started with Kerry at 5 months...she is now 2 and a half years and the progress she has made is mainly down to the time she spends with Kerry. I couldn’t recommend a better place to send my little one than to Kerry and Kelly!!
