My two children have been going to Kim’s Kinders for almost 4 years. My daughter started when she was 12 months old and has thrived, as has my son. Kim is very flexible and is kind and caring. The staff who work there are amazing. Both of my children are very happy and I couldn’t recommend Kim’s Kinders enough.

My daughter has been with Kimmy and her team since before she was 2 years old, my daughter was not an easy child to take care of and tested the capability and patience of Kimmy and her team, but to their credit, she is now a confident, capable, kind little girl who is more than prepared to start school in a few days time. Her social skills are fantastic and she has a passion to learn, encouraged through her time at Kimmy's. She is always excited to go to Kimmy's house and see who is there to play with and what amazing things they will do that day. The activities they take part in range from crafts to woodland walks and everything in-between. Kimmy and her team communicate very effectively, and always encourage that the adults work together to support the children. I cannot recommend Kim Gilliar and her team highly enough. You are all fantastic and I am eternally grateful for what you have done for my little girl.

Having sent my son Stanley to Kim for several years i didn't think twice about sending my second son Vinnie when i returned to work. He has been going to Kim now for 2 and a half years and is really flourishing under her care. My eldest boy looks forward to school holidays when he gets to see her again and both boys are extremely fond of Kim and her family.
