My daughter loves going to Kerry's. She is always excited to see Kerry and the other children at the setting. Since being there her speech and gross motor skills have improved and she has formed some strong connections with children of different ages.
Kerry keeps me updated on her progress and sends pictures every day.
One of my favourite things about my daughter being at Kerry's is that she was able to provide her extra support she needed to sleep when she was the only one napping more than once a day and she also takes the kids out to explore outside, which they don't often get to do in a nursery setting.
Kerry works with me to understand what our boundaries are and makes sure we're all working together to give my daughter consistency between home and Kerry's house.
Highly recommend!

My little boy has been with Kerry for a few months now and I can hands down say she is the absolute best with him. His speech and confidence has grown massively and that’s all thanks to Kerry. She truly is home from home and it’s exactly what I wanted from a childminder. I’ve been a stay at home mum with my little one since he was born so I found the first couple of weeks very hard, but Kerry checked up on me and always sends updates and pictures of what they’ve been up to throughout the day (I love this bit the most)
Kerry thank you for loving and caring for Fred just as we do!

We knew of Kerry as she looked after my niece, we placed my son with her 2 days a week when he was 16 months and he has come on leaps and bounds with his speech his confidence, he loves going, and we get lovely updates throughout the day. She treats him as one of her own and cares deeply for those in her care. Would absolutely recommend.

Kerry has looked after all three of my children. She has built up an amazing bond with all three individually and they thoroughly enjoy spending time in the setting. They all partake in age appropriate activities and Kerry is great at supporting all the children’s needs. Kerry has always had great communication and has always been reliable which has made it easier for me as a parent. I will continue to rely on Kerry to provide childcare services for my children until they are all grown, I cannot recommend her enough.

Kerry has been looking after our son since I went back to work ( just over a year ago) she is amazing with him and he loves spreading time with her and her family especially her dogs. She has helped us so much when my husband is deployed I'm so grateful. Our son loves Kerry and is excited to see her every morning.

I have used Kerry for all my children in last 18 years.
I can't ever fault her.
Kerry Efforts are always 💯 % in everything she does.
It never a dull moment and always Fun Fun Fun to be hard. From day trips out, slip and slide in garden, river and seaside visits, art and crafts. Adventures, messy play, cooking,muddy walks and animals Kerry has everything.
Nothing is ever to much trouble from 6 30 am very early morning starts to covering if you late from work.
Kerry Always there to greet you with a smile and even with a hug.
Kerry not just a child minder she becomes part of your family. Your kids will love her even ditch you for her somedays.
I can't praise Kerry enough, Bella 11 now and still walks there to see her says she will become her Helper that how much she loves it there .

Having two young SEN children means finding adequate childcare is extremely important. I honestly can’t speak highly enough of Kerry. Both children were so happy and their unique, individual needs were met superbly helping them flourish.
Kerry spent time researching techniques and ideas to assist with differentiating activities meaning both children thrived. Kerry certainly demonstrated her understanding of both children and they made it perfectly clear they felt safe and happy with her.
Communication is a must with any childcare setting and Kerry proved not only to be an excellent childminder but also a fountain of knowledge and a big support with regards to any difficulties that cropped up.
Sensory needs, communication difficulties, eating issues and many other barriers were overcome swiftly and it was lovely to see both children develop such a positive attachment towards Kerry and grow in confidence.

When I first looked into having a childminder I was apprehensive but as soon as I met Kerry I knew my daughter would be in good hands. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since she started and I couldn’t rate her service highly enough. They are always out doing fun things and have lovely photos sent daily of what they are up too. She has such a lovely kind way about her that instantly makes you feel at ease. They both have a lovely relationship together and I couldn’t ask for anymore. I would highly recommend Kerry to anyone.

I have always felt confidence leaving my son with Kerry. Kerry has been childminding for my son for 3 years now and always goes above and beyond for my family.
I am so grateful for the care she provides and I always trust she’s taking great care of the children.

My 3 kids (2,4 & 6) love going to Kerry before school. I thought they would really struggle to go somewhere new before school but they all settled straight in and come home talking about Kerry.
I love receiving pictures as I get to work of them all happy and enjoying themselves.
Kerry was able to help me out so last minute and I’m so glad I managed to get my kids in with her.. always a happy face in the mornings as well 😀😀

Kerry is not just a wonderful childminder but also a wonderful human.
She goes above and beyond to look after the children in her care and also supports the parents. In the holidays the children are always out for days trips which my daughter loves. I’m always sent the most lovely photos and kept up to date with their days.
The atmosphere Kerry creates is one of support and kindness, you can see this in the way the older children she looks after treat the younger ones.
My 2 year old loves Kerry as if she is a member of the family and I do too.
I couldn’t recommend Kerry more highly.

I was very nervous about leaving my baby for the first time with a stranger, but Kerry has gone above and beyond to make the transition as easy as possible for both my son and for me, my son now loves his time with her, he often waits in the morning by the front door with his lunch box in his hand waiting to go.
Kerry does lots of fun activities with the children, painting and sensory play as well as taking them out for walks or even swimming. It is a great comfort to know that I can go to work safe in the knowledge my son is being incredibly well cared for. He adores her puppy, I am not a dog person and was dubious at first but after meeting the dog in person I found she is lovely (soft inside and out) and has helped my son to settle in much faster than I could possibly have hoped for. I have no issues or worries with her dog at all, and by all accounts my son loves chasing her around and sharing his yoghurt with her!
Kerrys home is very clean and cosy and there is lots for the children to do there, it truly is a home from home setting and you couldn't ask for much more from a childminder. I can not recommend her enough and look forward to my son spending the rest of the year in her care while mummy goes out to work, he is already building a bond with her and the other children which is lovely to see and hopefully will be one which continues growing and helping him as he learns new things and develops further in the coming months.

I have trusted Kerry to look after my son for many occasions over a numerous amount of years.
Kerrys smile and warm welcome can make any child feel instantly at home, and make their parents feel very safe leaving their most precious belongings with her.
Kerry goes above and beyond for the children, nothing is ever too much trouble and her home is warm, clean and most importantly for the children, fun!
Kerry plays with the children, crafts, bakes, walks. My personal experience with her made me feel like my son, Dylan had gained an auntie, as he is extremely fond of her, and partner and children.
They all in all are a brilliant, vibrant family and there seems to be an abundance of love and laughter to spill over and share to others.
On a personal level, Kerry's happy, shiny personality is infectious. And she always put me in a good mood when I was dropping off or collecting my son.
Professional and approachable.
It is a pleasure to reccomend her as a childminder to others as my son is getting too teenagery to need a childminder.
Kerry, thank you for everything you have done for us. X

I have known Kerry over 4 years and Kerry has taken care of both my children as if they were her own. Kerry offers a clean, fun happy home that children love to come to. Kerry offers a wide range of activities for all the children to enjoy. Kerry is an excellent childminder and i can not recommend her enough.

Kerry looks after my two young children, aged 5 and 2, she is a brilliant childminder, she is so caring and genuinely loves all the children she looks after. Both my children love her, they are always so happy when i collect them at the end of the day.
Kerry always keeps the children occupied with different activities and days out and has helped with my children's progress in many different ways, we are currently potty training my youngest and have been working on her speech, it has improved a lot thanks too Kerry's help.
Kerry has such a great way with the children, and they all love and respect her.
For me it is a great feeling to be able to go to work every day knowing my children are happy and so well looked after.
My children and i think so much of Kerry, i dont know what i would do without her!
