Kerry

The perfect childminder

My Son has been with Kerry since he was 8 months, he is now 3 years old, I am always thinking how lucky we were to find the perfect childminder on our first attempt!

It is hard to put into words the positive impact that Kerry has had on my son and on me, she has enabled me to go back to work without worry, not only is Raiden safe but he enjoys activities inside and outside of the house, he took his first steps with Kerry, and has developed so many skills, he has also met his first best friend, another little girl also in Kerry's care.

Communication is always incredible, Kerry will never let you down and she genuinely cares about the children she looks after, we are very lucky to have her! An additional bonus is her incredible garden, it is an amazing size and Kerry always has fantastic garden toys for the Summer.

Oh my goodness - thank you so much for a really lovely review xx

Excellent Child Minder

Kerry took on my son when he was only 5 months and has been a second mum to him. She is great with the kids and treats them like her own. Highly recommend. She made my return to work so much easier

Thank you - it’s a pleasure to care for your gorgeous boy, I can’t wait to see him develop x

The best I could have asked for

Kerry has been looking after my daughter since August 2023 when she was 9months old.

My daughter loves going to Kerry’s house every morning and often doesn’t want to leave in the afternoon.

She has developed so much since being with Kerry and always has the best days. Kerry takes them out to play groups/parks/fun activities and every day is a new adventure.

Myself and my partner are shift workers and if we ever need to change our hours with Kerry last minute she is so accommodating and understanding.

I could not have found a better childminder for my daughter!

The best childminder

My daughter has been with Kerry since she had just turned 1, she will now be turning 4 this year. Kerry is the perfect example of a fantastic childminder. She always goes the extra mile for each child and for the parents. Kerry takes the children to playgroups and does lots of fun/learning activities with them. My daughter has developed a huge amount of confidence and learning which now she goes to nursery her teachers comment on how positive her confidence is! Kerry still picks up my daughter from nursery and has her during half term as I would much rather she stayed with Kerry than arranging after school club etc. I highly recommend Kerry as a childminder as the environment is like home from home which I found extremely important when looking for a childminder. Thank you for being the best Kerry!

A lovely, home from home nurturing environment

Our daughter has been with Kerry since September 2021 and has flourished with her support and care. I wanted a homely feel with a nurturing childminder because she was so young, just one, when I returned to work and Kerry has delivered. Kerry is warm, friendly, considerate and has been flexible with our needs and changes to work schedules. Our daughter enjoys her week with Kerry and the variety of activities they get involved in, the regular groups they attend and making use of all the toys and enrichment opportunities Kerry provides. I would 100% recommend Kerry and the experience and skills she has with young children.

Simply the Best!

Kerry has been childminding my son since he was 9 months old ( he is now nearly 2). Kerry helped ease my anxiety over leaving my son and returning to work for the first time, she is very patient and understanding. I couldn’t of wished to have found a better childminder.

Kerry provides a fun and comforting environment for the children and you can see she has a genuine passion for childcare. My son even took his first steps at Kerry’s, which Kerry instantly sent me the video of and I will treasure forever. I love hearing the report of his day and he is always coming home talking about the other children he has played with (including her own 2 children who are so polite and welcoming) or with paintings and crafts they have done that day.

I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him develop into a confident and self assured little boy.
I would absolutely recommend Kerry as a great and reliable childminder.

Gosh - thank you so much. A pleasure and an honour to care for him. X

Outstanding care, like a second home!

Kerry has looked after our son since he was 10 months old, now nearly 3, we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.
He has thrived and developed into a well rounded young man with Kerry’s support. I am always keen to hear where they have been and what activities he has been involved in as she offers such a wide range of experiences.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kerry to other parents!

Thank you so much - it’s an honour and a pleasure to care for Rory - can’t wait for baby no.2 x

Like a second mum to my daughter

Kerry had my daughter from the age of 8 weeks. From the very start Kerry made everyone one of us feel like part of the family.

Always a warm welcome in the morning. My daughter NEVER once refused to go in.

Kerry is approachable, practical & accommodating.

Kerry is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of childcare but also puts a mothers touch to situations.

We were all devastated when we left which was purely because my daughter started school.

Your child will blossom with Kerry

My son joined Kerry in 2014 when he was 10 months old and he's currently still with her. I have seen my son grow, develop and become independent with Kerry. Kerry has been very understanding, accommodating and flexible with the individual needs of my family. My son spent time away abroad for some months and Kerry was kind enough to take him back when he returned which made it easier for me not having to worry about my son developing a relationship with another childminder. In fact after the time spent away from Kerry my son easily settled back into Kerrys care. Kerry was a star supporting us when my son was potty training and continued the work we did at home in her own home.

Kerry has been supportive during times of needs and never puts pressure on us but always tells us "dont worry we can sort it out later". Kerry has a lovely home, with a lovely friendly dog Harley and tow very polite kind helpful children who always say hi when they see us. Kerry is great with communicating and giving us a summary of my sons day. She is easily contactable about any questions.

My son has made great friendships with the other children in Kerrys care and always comes home talking about his time with them and the things they got up to.
Kerry provides fun activities such as going to see Santa clause around Christmas time or to the beach during the summer time. I highly recommend Kerry as a childminder. Anyone would be happy to join her

Fabulous, fun and in control

My son went to Kerry at just 6 months, he is my first child so I was a bit nervous. But kerry was very relaxed and in control in a fun and clean home. All the children she looked after were happy but obviously respected her when she asked or told them to do something. My son went to kerry 1 day a week and was very well looked after, was safe and happy. What more can you ask for!
I went with kerry to a play group as part of the settling in period so I would feel at ease about leaving my son which was great and I met her other childminder friends and support network who were all great. Kerry certainly made my transition back to work easier as I didn't have to worry that my son was safe and happy. Highly recommend.
