Kerry's Reviews

Childminder Review

Kerry looked after my daughter (aged one) once a week for a few months when I returned to work following maternity leave. She initially started in a nursery but when she did not settle I decided to try a childminder for a more intimate setting.

After our experience with the nursery I was really concerned about leaving her in another childcare setting but Kerry was really patient, understanding and reassuring. She listened to all of my worries and bent over backwards to ensure our little one settled with her. She consistently showed enthusiasm, attention to detail and compassion in everything she did. She would tailor the day to suit my daughter if she was unsettled and was able to calm her down when she was initially going through separation anxiety. She communicated brilliantly and I loved getting regular updates and a diary at the end of the day detailing everything my daughter had done. She was always very professional and all of the children I saw in her presence seemed really happy. Her home was always clean and well presented and I loved all of the children's artwork on display. She offered home cooked, healthy meals and finger foods tailored to my daughter's needs. I loved all the activities she did with the children and the option of forest school on a Tuesday.

I had planned on leaving my daughter with Kerry for the foreseeable future but my own parents who have recently retired requested to look after her therefore I am hoping she will return to Kerry's care when she is older and Kerry has an opening for more days.

Thank you so very much for all of your hard work and care with my daughter!
