My Summary
About Me
Currently no vacancies , however now taking enquiries for the end of 2024/January 2025 to accommodate the new “funded” childcare offer.
Hello, I am an Ofsted registered Childminder based in Andover. I am CRB / DBS checked, fully insured and have an up to date first aid qualification. I offer a warm, safe and fun environment with an enclosed garden and playroom. We regularly get out and about to toddler groups, local parks, nature reserve, soft play, the library and musical activities. I also have a well stocked playroom full of toys.
I am a member of ACMA ( Andover childminding association ) and I am also registered for overnight care.
I am registered for the tax free childcare scheme ( where the government tops up your account ( by 20 per cent I believe ) and I am signed up to offer the new “funded” offer that rolled out in April 2024
I have my own daughter who was 16 in January and is at college and who loves the children ( as they do her )
I have looked after children and babies from five months old, right up to working previously with older children at an after school and holiday club. I have also completed the Level 3 diploma in supporting teaching and learning in schools extending my experience with school age children. In my last Ofsted inspection I was graded "Good". I like to keep my ratio to child at a smaller scale, for this reason , I don't have any afterschool children in attendance in term times or have to go out on any school runs. Please don't hesitate to get in touch for an informal chat.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes
Kim Rawlings-Ahmet

Kim is the best! She provides childcare second to none. Ember is so happy with her and learning so much. She goes happily everyday and I get fantastic picture updates daily and a food/sleep/nappy summary too. Her scrapbook is fantastic and filled with great examples of all the things Ember has been doing. They do so many great activities every day. I’m really happy to have found Kim and have Ember with her.

From the moment I met Kim I knew I wanted her to look after my daughter Gracie.
I went back to work when Gracie was only 6.5 months and it was really hard for me to leave her so young, but when I met Kim - I really knew she was in the best hands.
Kim is so great with the kids and they love her. She does different groups every day with them and also teaches them so much. She sends me picture everyday to show what they have been up to and keeps me up to date with Gracie’s progress every term with a lovely scrap book with photos and info of what Gracie has achieved.
Gracie has learnt loads and has so much confidence and loves playing with other children -this is all down to Kim and her fantastic childminding skills. She loves being at Kim’s so much she often asks to go there at weekends!
My little boy will be going to Kim’s as well when I go back to work in 2020 - She is truly one of the best it town.

Kim has been looking after my daughter since she was 7 months old, she is now about to start school in Sept so the final day is creeping up on us. We are so lucky to have found such a genuine, upbeat and hardworking person who clearly loves her job. In terms of development, Kim's observations and feedback have always been clear and thorough, and she is always looking at the next way to progress my daughter's learning. The home environment is always very positive, welcoming, happy and fun. Kim has been very flexible when we've needed it. We will both miss not only Kim but the rest of her family too who have also been extremely welcoming.

Kim has been looking after my son for just over a year now and I could not have picked a better person for the job. Kim is kind, loving, caring, my son adores her.
I could not rate Kim enough, she is a big part of my sons development progress in his Early Years, all done through fun play.
I can rest at work knowing my son is having fun and most of all he is in safe hands. They are always out and about having fun or if at home they will be doing fun learning. We often have lots of goodies to bring home from paintings to bird feeders.

Kimberley has been our childminder for both our boys, over a period of three years since 2012.
The first time we met Kimberley we were welcomed into a clean, family friendly environment, where Kim immediately engaged in conversation and activities with Jack. We were extremely pleased to see that Jack was made to feel safe and comfortable right from the start. The activities on offer were outstanding and Kimberley always found new and exciting ways of stimulating the children, whether it be outings or raining days, there's always lots on offer. Kimberley creates an outstanding book, in where all their activities and achievements are recorded. It was great being able to look through the pages and see what fun things Jack and Ben were doing. Kimberley was always very professional and kept us well informed on our child's development and daily activities.
Both our children have had the most amazing experience and I am very grateful of Kimberley's services. My eldest son Jack who is nearly four, still asks about "Kim-Kim". A real pleasure, I cannot recommend her enough.
