Amazing childminder!!!

Our son has been with Kim since he was 10 months old (he is now 3). Archie settled in so well, he practically runs through the door every morning :-)
Archies development since being with Kim has been amazing, she goes above and beyond and makes it fun!
Since Archie has been there we have had no concerns at all, we know he is being well looked after and is having the best time. Receiving pictures & updates of Archies day and seeing the big smile on his face having the best time with Kim and the other children makes us so happy.
I couldn’t recommend Kim enough!
Thank you Kim for everything x

Amazing! Highly Recommend!

Kim has been fantastic for our little girl. Evie joined when she was 16 months old with a broken leg. Kim was extremely accommodating and happy to help us with Evie’s childcare as much as possible whilst her mobility was limited. Evie continued to attend Kim’s setting until recently, only leaving as we have relocated. Kim is great with the children, they do lots of fun activities and great outings whilst incorporating learning as well. Communication is great and the daily diary is extremely informative. Evie has definitely built in confidence whilst in Kim’s presence and we are sure that being with Kim, has helped her to grown into the thriving toddler she is. If we could have kept Evie with kim, we 100% would have but distance did not allow. The setting is fantastic, we always felt comfortable leaving Evie knowing that she was having lots of fun. Thank you Kim for all of your help and providing such a safe, loving, fun environment for Evie. She will miss you xxx

My child is thriving thanks to Kim

Ethan has been in Kim's care for nearly a year now and he loves every day with her.

I've never had a problem at drop off as Ethan is always greeted warmly by Kim and loves going to her home.

She provides a fun, safe and secure environment for Ethan to enjoy playing and learning. He loves being around the other children too.

I honestly feel so comfortable with Ethan in Kim's care. I'm beyond please :-)

Kim is worth her weight in gold xxx

We are so lucky we found Kim! My son has settled in so well with her and I honestly feel so relaxed when I go to work knowing that he is having fun, learning and also being well looked after. Kim goes out of her way to keep us updated with his progress and it’s the little things like that make us feel happy during the day knowing our son is also happy. Thank you Kim!

Thank you for your positive feedback. I love my job and knowing that I make a difference to the families I work for. Seeing the children happy and thriving makes my job all the more rewarding.

Amazing childminder!

I don’t even know where to start in writing a review for Kim because there is just too many good things to write about her. Going back to work for me was so hard and I felt so guilty leaving my son and trying to find the right childminder seemed to be impossible until I met Kim. She made us feel so welcome from the start and I was so impressed with how organised she was with everything. I knew I wanted my son to go there straight away. Her communication me with is brilliant and she makes me feel like I have been part of my sons day without me even being there. Kim always updates me on what he has done throughout the day and has communication books to let me know what they have been doing, when he has had a nap and what he has eaten that day. Kim also sends home anything they have been doing like painting and amazing craft creations. Kim also sends photos to me at the end of each week which is really good because I can see how happy he has been and what they have been doing. Kim is so thoughtful and goes out her way to do little bits for the parents as well like getting him to make little things for us. My son was only 10 months old when he started and Kim made sure he was involved in everything they were doing which surprised me because some of the things I didn’t even realise a 10 month old would be able to get involved in but Kim will cater to the needs of every child and their age and made sure he felt part of everything they are doing. My son is now coming up to 15 months and I feel Kim has had a huge impact on how well he has developed in every aspect she really puts 100% into everything she does with him to help him learn and most importantly have fun. Kim has very good values and I really like the way she respects the children and puts in boundaries with them so they know right from wrong. Kim has a very fun and bubbly personality and and my sons face lights up as soon as we get to her front door. Kim really encourages him in everything and takes on board my views as to what I would like for my son. Kim is very easy to get along with and I feel comfortable to talk to her about anything. Being a first time parent I can always ask kims advice on things because she has had so much experience and she will always give me her honest opinion. Kim works so hard for the children and they get to be involved in so much, they go to playgroups each week and to the park and get involved with different things going on in the community like recently going to the church to see a nativity and sing along to Christmas carols. Kims home is very warm and friendly. Her house is always clean and there is a lot of space for the children to be able to play. She has a wide variety of toys and learning activities that the children can explore and play with. Kim always comes up with fun ways for the children to experience different things and always seems to have new activities for them each week. Kim sends out a termly update on what the children will be doing for that term and what they will be learning about. Kim has a lovely big garden and everything in her home is child proof and I know I can send my son to her knowing he will be safe and secure. My son settled in so well with Kim and I feel comfortable leaving him each day. Kim interacts really well with the children she looks after and they seem to create a very good bond with her. Overall Kim has an outstanding setting as a childminder and I would defiantly recommend her to anyway looking for childcare.
