My daughter has been going to Kerry's since she was 18 months old (September 2010), and I am so pleased to have found such a reliable, flexible and caring childminder.

I have no worries about leaving my daughter in the morning, as I know she will have a day packed with activities (whether it be playgroups, baby gym, library visit, run arounds at the park, cooking, gardening) and she is always excited to tell me what she has been up to during the day. Kerry also provides a diary stating what she's eaten, how long she slept, what they've been up to and whether my daughter had any likes or dislikes that day. It's brilliant to be able to have some much detail about her care.

Kerry is exceedingly reliable, and has a very welcoming household (other family members included!). It is a safe environment with plenty of stimulation and adherence to the Early Years Foundation Stage. Kerry will also tell me if she has any concerns about my daughter's development, as well as praising her when she exceeds.

Kerry is also great at putting children (and nervous parents!) at ease, taking into account any concerns you may have. She has a very caring nature, and children warm to her immediately.

I have no hesitation in recommending Kerry as a superb childminder who goes above and beyond the call of duty.
