Both my kids looked after by Kerry over the last 2 years and not once have we had any issues. Not once! Kerry is kind, friendly, flexible, accommodating and reliable. Both our boys were very happy and that's the most important thing for us. Kerry's house is clean and child friendly. Meals are cooked home made. Learning is through play and social interaction. Anything being taught at home, Kerry is happy to mirror to ensure continuity, for eg. potty training at 18 months old. She is aware of allergy risks. A good communicator, you get a verbal report at the end of each day, which also include any developmental progressions, through informal chat. Kerry looks after a diverse group of children which is great and is always patient. I have nothing but good things to say about Kerry. Look no further.

Thank you so much Nigel for the lovely review. I hope the boys are settling in at school and nursery, we miss them. Wishing you and your family the very best.
I cannot recommend Kerry enough! From the moment we met, I felt confident that my child was in safe and caring hands. She has created a warm, welcoming environment where my child feels at home and looks forward to going every day.
My child is safe in Kerry's care. Kerry is very attentive and caring. I never worry when she is at Kerrys. My child has learned so much(everyday tasks,talking,colours,potty training) and always comes home with a smile. Kerry maintains excellent communication, providing regular updates and photos, which really helps me stay connected to my child’s day. She is flexible with days and times. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for high-quality childcare.

Kerry has been looking after my son for almost a year and we (both him and me) couldn't be happier. Kerry is very kind and genuine. She treats all the children and parents with warmth and respect. My son misses going to Kerry's on the days she doesn't look after him. He gets healthy meals and Kerry has plenty of toys and a nice garden space for the kids to enjoy. Kerry always makes sure to tell me about my son's day, his behaviour, interaction with other children, what he ate etc. I'm very thankful Kerry was recommended to me. I would recommend her 100%.

Feel so lucky to have found Kerry, she was amazing with our children. Kerry was so patient, kind and reassuring. She built such a great connection with our children surprisingly quick. I always struggled to get my children to leave in the evenings as they were always so busy having so much fun. We sadly moved out of the area, but I wish we could have taken Kerry with us. Could not recommend her more.

As a first time parent, it was very difficult deciding where to send our daughter for her first nursery/childminder experience. I feel so blessed that we found Kerry. From our first meeting she was welcoming, kind and hospitable. She made our daughter feel comfortable and at home there. It was never a struggle to get her ready to “go to kerrys house”; she was always excited to go. Couldn’t have had a better experience with her.

We first met Kerry when our little boy was six months old and he immediately warmed to her, putting his hand out to touch her and smiling. That told us everything we needed to know! He went to Kerry four days a week from 11 months to 20 months, when we moved out of the area, and we were so sad to leave. Kerry is kind, caring and really loves the kids she looks after. She does thoughtful things like buy presents she knows the kids like and she made veggie meals just for our son, three meals a day of homecooked food. We will all miss her, especially our little boy!

My son is 2 and a half and joined Kerry early last year. I am so happy that I found Kerry as my son settled in with Kerry so quickly since joining I can see how much he has developed since going to her. He talks very fondly of her when he's not there as she has created a really nurturing environment for the children she looks after. She knows my sons likes and dislikes and has always takes the time to tell us about his day and sends photos and updates during the day. The setting is great and feels really homely, there is a garden too which my son really enjoys. She provides a range of activities that are stimulating and fun for the children and he always comes back home surprising me with something new he has learnt. The meals she provides for them are healthy and I can see that a lot of care goes into the preparation. I can see that my son is really happy with her, which is so comforting. Kerry has been very accommodating as she is very flexible with mine and my partner's work schedule. Kerry is truly an amazing childminder and would without any hesitation recommend her.

I was super anxious, having become a parent for the first time at the start of lockdowns, at the prospect of finding someone to watch my son. I'm so happy I found Kerry on this site, my son settled in quickly and is growing and learning so much with her. It's clear she genuinely cares about the kids she looks after, and I love getting the photos of my son throughout the day while I'm working. She's also been very flexible where I've needed to adjust days or hours due to work or appointments. I can't recommend her highly enough!

My son is 3 and attended Kerry's Part time. As he was with me whilst I worked from home he was very clingy. When I took him to Kerry's on the first day he chose to give her a hug which spoke volumes to me as he does not give out hugs easily!. Kerry is caring and was very patient and she continued to help him with potty training . I would enjoy getting photos of him playing during the day and there were so many toys for him to play with! He especially loved the Garden slide. I would definitely recommend Kerry as she is very supportive and made my son feel comfortable. She was also very flexible with my schedule.

My little girl started attending Kerry’s setting in September 2020 when she was 2.5 years old. She has developed so much ever since and has grown tremendously. She is excited to go to Kerry’s each day and often on the weekends she asks me if we’re going as well. Kerry has created a warm and caring environment and she spends time getting to know the kids she’s looking after. She knows what games and toys my baby girl likes to play with, what she likes to eat or drink. She provides a lot of stimulating activities and my little girl tells me how her day has gone each day upon returning home, in her own way of course. A key element for me is also that Kerry provides nutritional meals each day and my daughter loves them. The variety is amazing and much appreciated. Kerry also has supported us with potty training and made it really easy on us and on our daughter. Last but not least, the setting has a true home feeling with a great variety of toys, as well as a large garden space with a slide and for running around in warm weather. I really cannot praise Kerry more. I’d be happy to provide more info to those who hesitate or have more questions. I was very nervous when changing my daughter’s setting but turns out it was the best decision I made.
