I don’t know where to start, I literally have nothing but good things to say about kerry & the girls, my daughter has been here since she was 6 months old and will leave when she is 4 to go to reception ( she cries about this a lot😂 as she doesn’t want to leave) I couldn’t of wished for a better place to send Bella, even after changing jobs we still do the 6 mile round trip to get her here! I am so grateful for everything Kerry’s Kiddywinks have done for not only my daughter but me also, kerry is always there when you need her to offer her help or just to be there for you if you need help with ANYTHING! Be it childcare issues, personal issues or just being the brilliant person she is, she always remains professional, but also has the approach of a mom & friend. my daughter has been looked after like she is one of there own here & I can’t praise her & the girls enough.. from everything she’s learnt to even the little plaits she comes home with in her hair! I will be forever grateful for everything from 6 months to starting school ♥️♥️

My son was with Kerry from the age of 9 months up until the age of 3 when he started nursery. She a fantastic childminder and a very friendly and caring person. The children are always given her full attention and learn along the way. My son changed so much after spending time with Kerry.
Highly recommended

I have a 5 year old and a 3 year who have attended Kerry's kiddy winks for almost 3 years and I could not be happier with the care provided. I have been training as a midwife for the last 3 years involving very unsocial able working hours and Kerry and her staff members have been nothing but completely accommodating to me and my family needs.
The childcare is first class, meeting all developmental needs above and beyond.
Communication is faultless as is the paperwork. The amount of time and effort put in to making the childcare setting the best is clear to see and has also been reflected on recent ofsted reports. Kerry is kind, caring, loving and very professional, as are the 2 assistants and work experience girl.
Each child is treated as an individual and all get individual time and attention. My boys have been encouraged to develop freely and at their own pace, being praised along the way. Kerry's kiddy winks go the extra mile every time!
My boys loved their time there and we are sad to be leaving, however we feel we have made friends for life and we always remain in contact.

My son was in Kerry's and her staff care since he was 7months old, he's now 2and a half. Kerry is accommodating to you needs with regards hours and the best care for your child. Kerry and her staff are friendly , trustworthy and reliable. Have all the time in the world for the children very encouraging.Will offer help whenever possible. A true home from home environment for your child. A wide range of activities offered. A lot of outdoor play and visits. The only reason for my son finishing with Kerry was due to us relocating, was really sad to leave.
Really would recommend Kerry's services, just excellent.
