Kerry is a phenomenal childminder who has worked wonders with our little boy, Joey. Since starting with her, Joey's confidence has soared, his manners have become impeccable, and he's developed a genuine love for learning. Kerry goes above and beyond, providing diverse and enriching experiences daily. The communication is excellent, and it's clear that there's a special bond between Kerry and Joey—they adore each other. We feel incredibly fortunate to have Kerry as a guiding force in Joey's life, shaping him into the confident and happy child he is today. Highly recommended!

Kerry is not only an excellent childminder, she is also an excellent Mummy. Since the moment I met Kerry and her family, I had no doubt about enrolling Danielle.
Kerry works with other (also excellent) childminders in the local area, giving children in their care some great opportunities for socialisation and fab days out!
Danielle loves going to Kerry's and often asks to go back into her house once we have left.

Kerry offers our daughter a home from home experience allowing us to continue to work worry-free. She understands our daughter's special needs and caters very well, always making days out interesting for her. There is never a dull day!

My little boy absolutely loves going to Kerrys every day & having lots of fun.
I love knowing I'm sending my son to a caring & safe environment where he feels happy! Being a working mum is much easier when you know your child is happy & safe with a genuinely caring child minder !
