We were so lucky to find Kiera to look after our little boy Brodie. He absolutely loved going to see her every day and always came home with totally new skills, tricks, sounds and words. It’s obvious that Kiera spends lots of time engaging with the children and doing activities. I am really happy with how chilled out and happy Brodie is as a result of spending every day in Keira’s environment. Very communicative, sends lots of photos, spends lots of time outdoors, a great childminder who we will miss very much now that our son is going to nursery.
Keira came recommended from a friend and she did not disappoint. She was kind, caring and adaptable to our needs from the get-go.
Keira is patient and supportive; she provided my 11 month old son with many settling in sessions in the lead up to my return to work. Our son went to Keira for four days a week over a five month period and each morning he was enthusiastic about going to her home.
As a family we are very grateful to Keira for the nurturing environment she provided; her house is equipped with a variety of toys and our son benefited from the playdates Keira has with other local childminders.
We would not hesitate to recommend Keira and are sad not be local anymore. Our son will have many fond memories of his time with her.
Kiera has been a wonderful, caring and supportive childminder for our little boy Odin. He joined her when he was 11months old, and spent 3 days a week with her for a year.
Keira has a wonderful approach to her role as childminder. She is very caring and always has the best interest of the children at heart. She is gentle whilst also being consistent and firm when needed. Odin absolutely loved her and was always happy and smiling at the end of everyday.
She takes the little ones out on nature walks and to the local parks. She develops their play with activities and games in the house. A highlight was how generously Keira's own children will help out and engage Odin in fun play when they were around. It made for a very happy and nurturing environment which Odin hugely enjoyed.
We are very sad to no longer be living nearby and so we've moved on to a new place for Odin. But he will have very happy memories for life of his time spent with Keira and her lovely family.
Kiera has been taking care of our son for over 2 years now and we couldn't be happier. The settling in period was as long as he needed and was immediately made to feel at home, everyday he is so eager to get inside and have fun he doesn't even stop to say goodbye! She takes the time to build a relationship with not only the kids but the parents too, sharing moments with us from his day and giving helpful advice
The kids are taken out most days to local playgrounds, parks and playgroups where they hold activities and mix with an even larger group of children. Over the last year she has also helped prepare him for the next stage (nursery/school). Kiera has created a warm, fun and safe environment our son that feels like a second home and family. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found her and will happily recommend her to anyone.
These are just three words that instantly spring to mind when leaving a review for Kiera. Kiera looked after Freddie, our first baby from 3 months old on a flexi basis, gradually building up the days until he was full time with her and I went back to work. In total Freddie was with Kiera for about 14 months until we left London due to Corona Virus. Kiera was always flexible and very accommodating. It's always a big thing leaving your baby with someone else and this was the first time we had done it, but Kiera made us feel very comfortable and I was happy to leave him even at 3 months old, as I knew he was in good hands and she loves babies. Freddie was always very happy to see her, and we worked together on his routine and he always seemed very happy in the house and fine for me to leave.
Kiera was recommended to me by a friend and I would recommend her to others. In fact, when we return to London I will be sure to be in touch with her again.
