Kim has been amazing with our daughter who usually doesn’t take to new places or people very well. The setting really feels very homely and my daughter is always telling about all the little creative projects and fun stuff she gets up too! Would highly recommend!

Kim is amazing. The care and love she gives to the children in her care is second to none, she is kind, considerate and treats the children like family. She is flexible and helpful and sees everyone as an individual. My daughter absolutely flourished in Kim's setting and we could not be more thankful xx

Thank you. It’s been my pleasure x
Kim has been an outstanding childminder to my 13 month old son. I could not recommend her more highly. As a first time mum, it was very daunting trying to find someone to look after my son when I went back to work. But Kim has been a God send. The service she provides to all of the children is better than I could have ever hoped for. She is always thinking of new activities, crafts, and experiences for them and goes above and beyond to provide them with the best care and a stimulating environment. She keeps in great touch, sending me photos of what my LO is getting up to in the day and keeps a logbook of what he’s eaten, how he’s slept and what he’s been up to! I honestly don’t know how she does it! But I’m very grateful I found her 🥰

My daughter was with Kim for a short time while we were waiting to move house. My daughter settled in straight away. Kim was very attentive, caring and encouraged development through play, attending playgroups and reading. Kim kept a log book which would tell us about my daughter’s day including food eaten, toilet and naps. We could put info in the log book too. This was a really useful and helpful tool for communication. My daughter would always be so happy in the evening after spending a day with Kim, a sign she had a great day!

Kim has been looking after my 18 month old son since he was 7 months and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after him. Her level of care goes above and beyond. Kim is always doing different fun and educational activities with the children and my son has learnt so much from her. Her communication is amazing and it’s lovely to have a book filled in each day to tell me what my son has been up to.
She truly loves and cares for each child she has and it’s a relief to know my son is so happy with her while I’m at work. Thank you Kim!

Kim has looked after my daughter who is now almost three for the last two years. My daughter has thrived during this time even in the midst of a pandemic Kim has offered structure, consistency and a loving caring environment. My daughter is very content and loves the engagement and support that she receives there. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone who is considering using a Childminder in the area.

Kim looked after our son for over two years & he loved his time with her. We have had a fantastic experience with her & am so sorry to be leaving. ( We have just left as I have just had a baby ) Kim does lots of activities with the children & attends play groups. I loved reading what he had done, eaten and how he behaved every day, communication is fantastic! I can’t recommend her enough. We’ll all miss Kim x

Kim looked after my nephew from the age of 4 months (he is now 11). When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter there was no question as to who would be looking after her when I returned to work. Kim has been childminder to my daughter 5 and my son 3 since they were both 6-9 months old. She is truly wonderful and I don't know what I/we would do without her. She attends toddler groups each week and encourages/develops their learning through singing, colouring, writing, reading and playing. She really is fantastic.

Kim has been childminding my four year old daughter for three years now and it's been a brilliant experience. My daughter absolutely adores her and I've loved the fact that Kim is really active with all the kids - taking them to playgroups, lots of walking as well as plenty of educational activities. Would highly recommend Kim to any moms.
