Kerreyanne

Amazing childminder

My son (now diagnosed with ASD) attended Kerreyanne settings for just over 18months. Couldn’t fault her, she did an excellent job and paid attention to him when he began regression with his speech and behaviour she told us her concerns , advised us and supported us throughout. She attended paediatrician meetings with us and even wrote reports as supporting evidence for us to take to appointments we may have. She was such a brilliant childminder, her shoulder to cry on.
Unfortunately we had to move away from Luton and be near family members. I wish she was nearby so she can become my 2nd born’s childminder.
Keep up the good work Kerreyanne ❤️

Kind regards
Noella & Furcy

Best childminder

You'll be hard pushed to find a childminder like Kerreyanne. She cared for my child for 2.5 years providing outstanding care.

Kerreyanne's setting became my daughter's second home where she felt loved and cared for. My child enjoyed every minute of her time there enjoying a wide range of activities and days out.

Kerreyanne regularly updates parents on where their child is at and her day to day communication is outstanding.

I could not recommend Kerreyanne enough.

Thank you very much

The Mary Poppins of childminding, practically perf

I am truly devastated that Maddie has to leave Kerreyanne but a new iob in a different area has meant I need to move my little girl. Maddie instantly settled and has everything she could possibly need from Kerreyanne. She has beautiful toys and resources to inspire and interest the children and constantly tailors the days to ensure they are all flourishing in her care.
She provides excellent meals as well as healthy and varied snacks during the day and all the children love her.
Kerreyanne offers a broad range of activities and she is an impossible act to follow. She knows every child so well and constantly helps them progress while having lots of fun. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She is knowledgeable and totally dedicated to giving the best possible experience to the children she looks after.

Best person/childminder I have ever met!!!

My daughter Olivia started with Kerreyanne about 3 years ago( Olivia was about 11 months at that time). From very first day Kerreyanne was amazing, her communication skills are outstanding , I always felt that even when I am not there I know what’s happening, as she always updated me. Her setting is made for children to learn, be safe and interact to each ever! She had 1:1 sessions with them, she prepares for each day something different to do, she takes them on days out! Kerreyanne is always there if you need her, always ready to give you advice if you want. Olivia will be starting school this September and I know she will miss Kerreyannes house and all her friends terribly. I am pregnant with our second child and I just hope that she will have space for our new bundle once I will need to go back to work after maternity. She is truly incredible, we love her so much, she became part of our family!!

Amazing Childminder

My son Oscar has been with Kerreyanne for just over 7 months now (he started just before turning 6 months old). Kerreyanne provides exceptional care and from the start I felt so comfortable leaving Oscar there and going back to work. Her house is tailored to the children’s needs and she provides a wonderful learning environment. Communication is fantastic; she always lets us know what steps he has made and what we can do with him at home to help his learning. Kerreyanne is very dedicated to her job and all the children in her setting are really happy.

*** Wonderful childcare ***

It is hard to sum up Kerry-Annes wonderful approach to childcare in a short review. My daughter has been going to Kerry-Anne for nearly a year since she was 9 months and i just cannot complement her enough! Delilah loves attending and looks forward to going every morning we had a very gradual transition and Kerry-Anne has supported us all the way offering lots of advise and helping Delilah meet all her milstones at such an age where she is changing all the time. Her house is beautiful and welcoming the setting is focused completely around her profession and the children. It was so important to me to find an excellent ofsted registered 'outstanding' childcare provider we felt comfortable with and Kerry-Anne ticks all those boxs and so many more. She goes above and beyond in so many ways which just adds to the excellent care, love and service she provides to all us parents. I cannot recommend her enough i am expecting another and i pray she has place for them to when the time comes my children will never be going anywhere else! We love Kerry-Anne and her wonderful family and cannot thank her enough for the constant support, experiance and advise she gives us helping our daughter grow into such a wonderful little girl.

First Class Childcare!!

Kerreyanne continually demonstrates she is committed in providing parents with exceptional childcare in a safe, comfortable and enjoyable home from home setting. Both Kerreyanne is extremely passionate about putting children’s learning and continuous development first and foremost.    
 
I started researching childcare when my son was three months old as I was keen for him to be in some form of childcare from the age of 6 months. I visited two nurseries and one childminder. During the visit with Kerreyanne I instantly knew this was the environment for our child.
 
The initial process and settling in period was seamless and gave mum and dad that much needed reassurance. Kerreyanne communicated with me to let me know what service she would be providing and explained although our son was only a baby he would participate in all activities and wouldn’t be excluded in group activities due to his age.
 
Our son (now age 2) has developed well and we are pleased his learning and development is on track. Walking four weeks before his 1st birthday, able to wave say bye and thank you. He's now confident in letting Kerreyanne know when something is wrong and equally clearly communicates when he's happy or would like more food :)

Kerreyanne provides good nutritional home cooked meals and our sons special dietary requirements are always catered for with minimal fuss.

We are always kept informed of our sons daily activities via the daily communication book. Photographs are also provided on a weekly basis. These diaries are great records of our sons development as well as a being a keepsake.  

When our child is unwell, we are always informed and kept up to date. Kerreyanne always show love and genuine concern by asking to be kept up to date when our son is in our care.
 
My husband and I have every confidence our son is being nurtured into becoming a settled, happy and confident little man.

Childminder who truly cares

Kerreyanne began childminding my 2 children - a boy of 6 and little girl of 2 in 2006 so they were some of the first few children to attend her setting. My previous childminder left the profession at short notice. From my very first conversation with Kerreyanne she has proven to be a professional, friendly and genuine individual who will always put your child's welfare and needs first. She took the worry and anxiety of leaving your children with a carer away.
Throughout their stay with Kerreyanne my children have learned and grown and felt comfortable whilst being very well cared for. From daily activities to planning parties for occasions there is always plenty of fun to be had at this setting alongside learning and teaching.
My children have now moved on as they no longer require childcare but I truly believe Kerreyanne has played a positive part in their young lives and we still have an ongoing relationship away form the childcare service....We have also got to know Eva more recently and together they both make this childminding service a fantastic experience.

Such an AMAZING childminder

My son has been with Kerreyanne since July 2012 when he started at just 9 months old. Now a very lively 3 year old, he has flourished in Kerreyanne's care. Kerreyanne has come to know Jack so well, his personality, likes and dislikes. She plans appropriate and fun activities to ensure his individual developmental needs are not only met but exceeded. The developmental progress reports she keeps on each child are brilliant. Kerreyanne is currently helping Jack prepare for starting pre-school in terms of letter and number recognition as well as writing his name etc.

Communication with Kerreyanne and Eva is fantastic. As well as daily verbal and written feedback on Jack's day, I particularly LOVE the masses of photos we are given in Jack's diary; they give a fantastic insight into Jack's day and the fun he is having and I feel I am not missing out on his day. The diaries will be a fabulous momento in the years to come.

Whilst in Kerreyanne's care, Jack is exposed to many different social environments - playgroups, Library visits, soft play centres, trips to the park and walks through the woods. Jack has so much fun on their trips to the zoo and he loves the weekly swimming sessions with Kerreyanne, Eva and his friends. Jack has so much fun, he even asks at weekends if he can go to Kerreyanne's house!

Kerreyanne's house is very child-centric with everything accessible for the children. Jack runs in every morning and makes himself at home!

Childminding is not just a job for Kerreyanne, she feels very passionate about the care and education she gives the children and this comes across in the quality of her service. I cannot reccommend Kerreyanne highly enough - she truly is a star in the eyes of any working parent.

Fantastic childminders!

My 2year old son has been with both childminders since January 2014 and over that time I have been thrilled with the level of care that he has received from both Kerreyanne and Eva.

The first thing that struck me when visiting ahead of my son starting with them both was the sheer enjoyment that they both of them have for what they do. They are both emotionally in tune with all the children under their care, and provide a wonderfully stimulating environment which is demonstrated by providing different daily activities, which include messy play, arts and crafts, baking, as well as attending local playgroups, library, swimming, zoo's and soft play, all of which my son has greatly benefited from to meet his developmental needs.

My son has certain needs that have required some additional attention, the positive way in which he transitioned in to the child care setting I think evidences the positive nature of the environment he is attending. Kerryanne and Eva have supported us with various elements of his needs by attending and heavily contributing to his assessments processes as well as always sending reassuring words when they were needed. This has proved invaluable to us as a family.

We receive regular feedback, both verbal and written (with photographs) on what he has been up to, which serves several purposes; we can see how he is developing, which activities they are performing that he is responding to and it will also be a lovely keepsake for when he is older.

My final comment would be in regards to the flexibility that Kerreyanne and Eva allow, they understand that unexpected events can transpire and changes (within reason) are absorbed without issue. They are completely committed to putting the child and family first which makes the service they provide all the more unique.

Kerreyanne and Eva are outstanding child minders that will go the extra mile, I could not be happier with the care they offer my son.
