My name is Kerry and I am 48years old. I have two children age 20 and 17. I live in Shepperton. We have a cocker spaniel called Reggie
I Have been childminding since 2007, I offer a welcoming, fun, safe and stimulating environment for the children I care for. I have a very large garden with slide, bikes, ride ons, blackboard, sandpit/water table etc
I take the children to the local toddler groups, childminding groups, soft play, gym, parks, library, childrens centres etc.
I have a large playroom with lots of toys, games, books, arts and crafts and other activities.
My aim is to create a home from home experience for the children I care for and to support the parents of the child in anyway I can.
I currently pick up/drop off at Kenyngton Manor School/preschool

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
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
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!

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!

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.
