My Summary
About Me
My name is Kerry I am an Ofsted registered childminder located off the A610 not far from phoenix park and Wilkinson street tram stops offering a home from home environment for all age groups of children
I live with my husband of 15 years and our 3 children now aged 11,10 and 8 we also have a family dog teddy who is a small dog that loves a belly rub, we have a large garden where children spend time learning though play. Noah's arc has a rabbit that we all take part in looking after all the children enjoy taking part learning how she lives.
I have over 10 years experience working with children, I have worked as a level 3 nursery nurse in a busy nursery for many years before leaving to pursue my own childminding business where we enjoy anything from messy play and crafts to quiet time with stories songs and free play all tailored around the developmental requirements of each individual child.
My home has sanitizer stations at the front and back doors along with a robust hand washing policy. All areas that are used for childcare are cleaned down and sanitized after each session to make sure all areas are safe at all times
I offer a welcoming home with a friendly environment that promotes traditional home-made healthy cooking. I understand the importance of selecting the perfect childcare for your precious children, therefore I encourage complimentary settling in sessions for the children and also welcome any parents to come and have an informal chat before they make this important decision. Working in partnership with the children's parents/guardians is important to me and I am very open and welcoming to any communication/ feedback and ideas. Milk, water, juice and fruit are readily available to all children throughout the day.
I have my own 7 seat vehicle with full business car insurance, and I also have full public liability insurance.
My Working hours are from 7:30 am until 5.30 pm. I offer local school drop-off and pick-ups which are currently hempshill Hall and crabtree farm and rossalyn primary school.
My Experience
I have previously worked in a busy nursery and have my own children and ran my childminding business for nearly 7 years.

Hi Stacey
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review .
We are definitely going to miss little miss and wish you all the best in the future
Thanks kerry
Our son wasn’t happy at his previous nursery. Luckily we found Noah’s Arc and now he couldn’t be happier, every day he talks about “Kerry’s House” and loves the family home environment that Noah’s Arc provides.
I strongly recommend Noah’s Arc, very profession whilst still keeping that personal touch.
Thank you so much!

We are over the moon with the care our son is receiving at Noah's arc. Our little boy absolutely loves going to her she always does wonderful activities with the children. she writes each child an entry in there very own diary to let you know what your child has been doing, what they have eaten/ drank, nap times, nappy changes etc. Shes easily contactable & she puts your mind to rest about any worries with picture messages etc to help you feel at ease. Kerry is very flexible and will try her upmost to help and support you. She has a wonderful family who are all kind and welcoming. We have been so lucky to find Kerry at Noah's arc as shes very passionate about her job & genuinely cares the children she takes care of. Kerry is a kind and warm lady and is never too busy to chat at pick up times. I am so happy we chose a child minder like kerry instead of a nursery as it's much more personal and our son gets lot more attention. Our little boy has come a long way with his confidence and socialisation since being with kerry at Noah's arc. The child minders home is a wonderful and warm setting, very clean & full of things for the children to do. The food provided is amazing home cooked meals & even our little fussy eater eats everything! Couldn't recommend her enough!
