I cannot recommend Kay enough, she has been absolutely amazing in every way. Our little boy started at age 7 months and finished with Kay recently at almost 4 years old. Kays home was his home away from us. She provided a safe, clean, loving environment where he was able to thrive, learn and play. I always knew he was in the best hands, and Kays communication was fantastic throughout his time there. We received photos of his days out and regular updates about activities and things they had planned. Kay always thought of lovely and exciting things to do with the kids and places to go and my little boy always looked forward to going. He also made really good friends with the other children that attended. I really am truly thankful to Kay for helping shape our baby into the young boy he has become.

Our son started with Kay at around 10 months old and was there until he turned three. Following a short spell at a nursery beforehand, we were apprehensive about childcare with it being our first child however Kay immediately put our minds at ease. He had a full time space with Kay, settling in extremely quickly and becoming part of the family. Everyone in Kay's family were extremely welcoming and our son loved playing with them all. Regular days out to local soft plays and farm parks, as well as days in the garden and play room kept him thoroughly engaged and excited to go every morning. We would highly recommend Kay to any parents looking for a childminder, as she went above and beyond to make sure our son felt at home.

I couldn't recommend Kay enough! My son started with her when he was 15 months old and has been with her until starting nursery at 4 years old. She does so much with the kids in her care and my son looked forward to his days spent with her. As a parent, you are always kept updated on your child’s progress and she sends pictures of their outings too. My son went from being a shy, Covid baby to a happy and outgoing toddler who just loves to be involved in everything. 100% recommended

Our 3 year old has just finished up with kay after just over 2 years due to starting nursery soon. She loved going there every Thursday and Friday to meet up with her friends and of course Kay's big fluffy dog Storm!
Kay has been a great childminder and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

My son was with Kay for around 18 months. The only reason we ended our time with Kay was due to us moving house. My son loved going there every week. Kay provides a fun and warm environment for kids to flourish.

Kay has looked after my daughter P1- P7, my son has been there for 5 years also. Kay has been very accommodating and flexible. The service provided is outstanding beachside Kay keeps the kid’s entertained and even learning bagpipes amongst others useful activities. It is a homely, caring and loving environment where Kay dedicates her time well and meets the needs of all the children. Kay has always been caring particularly if anything had happened or if the kids were upset from something at school. Kay always kept me well informed with holidays So I had plenty notice if it affected my childcare. So reliable and never letting me down with the outstanding service. I see Kay as a friend as well as my kids childminder. Highly recommend Kay for kids of all ages. Kay adapts well to each child’s age and stage. Always following procedures, safety, wellbeing, and up to date with all training courses required as a professional.

Kay looked after our daughter and only reason we left was to emigrate. Kay is a lovely person and is brilliant with the kids. Treated our daughter like She was her own. Felt comfortable leaving her in Kays care to go to work. Would recommend 100%

I cannot recommend Kay enough. Our 4 year old daughter had the most wonderful time in Kay's care. She makes the children feel so welcome and comfortable, like a real home from home. My daughter looked forward to going to Kay's every week and still adores her now even though Kay no longer looks after her! As a parent I was always confident Kay provided safe, nurturing and fun environment which makes it easier when you have to go to work!

My 2 boys have been going to Kay after school for 3 years now and they love going, as she always makes them feel welcome and has time to chat.

Kay has looked after my son since he was a year old and he adores her. From the moment I left him, Kay did every thing she could to reassure me that he was fine which included sending me regular updates to put my mind at rest.
Kay often takes the children to soft play or childminding groups which allows the children to mix with other children and enjoy themselves in different environments. My son always looks forward to going to Kay's house to play with the other children which she looks after and the selection of toys that she has available. When the weather is dry Kay also encourages the children to go outside and play.
I trust Kay fully with my son and she has become more than just a childminder for my son, she has become a good friend also. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Kay has looked after my girls (now 2 and 5) since they were 12 and 9 months respectively. Kay has been brilliant with the girls - she always treats them as individuals and with respect and care. She has built a really strong bond with both of them.
Kay regularly takes the children to softplay and toddler groups and knows all their likes and dislikes. The children get the chance to mix with their peers whilst having a home from home at Kays house. Kay encourages them to play outside (weather permitting) and has a good range of indoor and outdoor toys. Everyday Kay takes the time to tell us about the girls days etc.
As a parent the most important thing is knowing your children are happy and cared for by someone you trust (and we trust Kay implicitly) but Kay also goes the extra mile to help us out and is very flexible - she has learnt some signs (maketon) and provides support and feedback for my daughter with a speech difficulty and even babysat our oldest daughter the day the youngest was born!
