My Summary
About Me
Hello! I'm Kerry, an Ofsted registered childminder.
I have two wonderful daughters, Abigail, who is 20, and Freya, who is 12.
We reside in Kingswinford, where we create a happy, loving, and fun-filled home.
I adhere to the Early Years framework and focus on the seven areas of learning and development.
My goal is to offer a safe, enjoyable, stimulating, and welcoming environment for your child.
With plenty of indoor and outdoor space, along with a variety of toys, children can play and learn freely. I strive to create a home-like atmosphere where kids can have fun while they learn.
I organise various activities for the children, including arts and crafts, as well as seasonal events.
I also regularly take the children to toddler groups, soft play areas, the library for Rattle & Rhyme sessions and weekly visits to Sycamore adventure.

Kerry has been childninding my son from the age of 1 until he will start school this September. He is so well settled and happy with kerry, and has been from the start. Kerry provides a lovely range of activities and outings, keeping the children learning and laughing all the time. We will be very sad when he leaves for his big school in September. Can't praise and recommend kerry enough, shes just fantastic 🥰

Twelve months ago I was desperatly looking for childcare for my little boy. I'd taken him out of a Day Nursery and was having no luck finding a child minder I felt comfortable leaving him with. That was until I found Kerry. After a phone call, she invited us round to her home to meet her family, that evening. We felt so comfortable talking to Kerry and Andy. It was as though we'd know them both years! Since then we haven't looked back and charlie has been part of Kerrys extented family ever since! Being a teacher myself, I can see how much work Kerry puts into the job! She knows her stuff and plans enriching activities and opportunities that are geared to 'your' childs development.
Each night I get a detailed diary of Charlies day. Not just a list of the foods he's eaten and what he's done on the toilet but a personal account of his day, with the things he's enjoyed and the funny things he's said.
In July we had to say an emotional farewell as I was starting maternity leave. We have kept in touch with Kerry, who I now consider to be a family friend, and my little baby girl has just stared her settling in sessions!
As I expected, Charlie is really pleased to be spending time with Kerry and the gang again. Heidi, his little was full of smiles during her first session this week. When I collected her she was every bit the contented little baby. Kerry is a natural!
So if your looking for someone to care for your children whilst you are at work, Kerry is a perfect choice! Forget the day nursery's with there regimented routines and go with Kerry, a mother who has raised two lovely children of her own and who sees your child as an individual little character!
We feel blessed to have found her!
