I transferred my son from a public Nursery because he cried every day and said he didn't want to go. It was the best decision I made. Since then, Antony gets up happy, goes to Kerry with a smile and sometimes even forgets to say goodbye and just goes straight in to have fun. Kerry, Nanny K and Jackie are very friendly and have a family atmosphere. My son loves the trips they have and always talks about them with excitement. He learned a lot of songs, the alphabet and counting. I see a huge difference in his development since he started going to Kerry. It's also nice that when the children bake something with Kerry, Nanny K and Jackie always get a cookie or muffin to take home.
Thank you for the great care, thanks to you I can go to work peacefully and not worry about my child.

Firstly I call Kerry Mary Poppins as she is exactly that, our life saver. Nanny K (super Nanny) and the sweet Jackie. The best 3 women you could ever have look after your child. When I first reached out to over 20 childminders Kerry was the only one to answer all my crazy long questions with such detail and understanding. I knew then she was made to do this job.
She didn't push us into making a decision and let me visit after hours to accommodate me. I had a nursery placed secured and I knew we wanted our daughter with Kerry and even lost my deposit with the nursery to join her on the first meeting. On the first meeting my daughter smiled at Kerry and sat down to play, at a time she was going through severe separation anxiety and I was shocked. My daughter had a immediate connection with her.
I then starting settling in sessions and Kerry went through every single tiny detail of my routine and understood why it's so important and followed it perfectly. Within 1 day my daughter was settled and everytime we walk up the drive she's smiling and wants to go in. Hands straight over to Kerry with no tears. I'm still in shock. My daughter goes to nobody not even family but Kerry, Nanny K and Jackie she loves like family, as we do.
I then get daily updates, pictures throughout the day of eating sleeping playing and it makes my day to day life so much happier. I'm a mother with a strict routine and anxiety of leaving my baby and Kerrys updates takes it all away. She gives her lovely food, home makes all the food for the kids and she completely understands my crazy need for fresh and healthy food. She follows my crazy routine and is always so kind to help. Even a blip in my childcare funding application and Mary Poppins was there to help me when she didn't need too. Purely out of the kindness of her heart.
Lastly her home is immaculate, child friendly safe and secure. Nanny K even went out and brought a new rug so my daughter could practice walking. I now have a baby with no separation anxiety, who's happy, growing up fast watching rhe older kids, developing faster than ever and coming home with new skills everyday. Kerry even talks to me in the evening after hours and feels like a new friend who I can bounce off.
Kerry has even made a little cupboard for my daughters belongings so she feels at home. This is what their service is home from home with so much love.
Her ofsted score should always be outstanding plus a million stars. We couldn't of made a better choice for our daughter since she was born with picking Kerry and her team.
My daughter has a new bestie for life and so do we. The best childminder service there could be for our family. Thank you for everything xxx

Kerry and her family team are amazing! Kerry’s home is a home away from home which provides amazing fun activities for the children to learn and thrive.
My son was 16 months old when he started and settled in really quickly, which I put down to the caring and nurturing nature of Kerry and her family.
Kerry makes lovely fresh meals everyday and I receive regular updates throughout the day of pictures and videos of fun activities my son is taking part in. From baking, to dinosaurs exploring volcanoes, and painting with flowers, they are really imaginative with everything they do!
As a family we are delighted to have found Kerry and her wonderful setting.

Kerry was the first childcare provider to my son and… we couldn’t have a better choice!
He loved her from the first day. She is the most caring, flexible, helpful, creative and patient person I ever met. Every single day she was welcoming us with smile and open arms.
Every day she sent me a lots of pictures during creative and interesting works with kids!
If I could give here more then 5 stars I would!
All meals which they are preparing for kids are healthy and various.
I hope we will come back soon 🤞🏽
Well done Kerry, Karen and Jackie ♥️♥️♥️

My little boy has been with Kerry and sunny side for over a year and a half now, and I wouldn’t trust to take him anywhere else up until school. Kerry updates me with multiple photos, if he has slept and what he’s eaten during the day . The setting is child friendly and nursery like. He loves the food they make there and always asks for seconds. He learns so much and has gained so much patience from being in the setting. His social skills are absolutely brilliant now compared to when he started. My little boy loves nanny k like family and A childminder that became a forever friend for me, I wouldn’t recommend anyone more than kerry and sunny side childcare.

Our now 15 month old was with Kerry and sunnyside childcare for 5 months, and things were lovely to start out with, our daughter really enjoyed the setting and got in great with Kerry and Nanny K and we really liked them too. But the last month or so things started to change and become unpredictable with a whole new closing time given to us which started on that same day.
We gave our notice date of 6 weeks time for her to find someone new, and things just went quickly downhill from there. We were asked to leave in two weeks, at the end of July so she can fill our child’s spot, leaving us with no childcare for 4 weeks. We tried to explain how unfair this is and how difficult it is to find a new childminder at such short notice but the next day we were told that we were out, and not to come back.
This was extremely upsetting and caused myself and my husband a very stressful weekend, trying to find our daughter urgent childcare. We are truely gutted that such a lovely environment for our daughter ended in this manner.

Hello Claire
Thank you for the review I will make sure I try to cover all of said above.
We are so sorry that we had to give you notice, it wasn’t something we did easily but with the sudden leave of my sister/assistant I had to make a few decisions about ratios.
I did offer you the 4 weeks notice from our contract, you said that wasn’t good enough. I also never and would never word it “do not come back” it was a very apologetic text.
I see you gave us 2 star for communication. I just went through our messages of Olivia’s updates last week, her 3 days Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday you was updated with 49 photos and messages from me. 49! That’s just one week. This was done to you every day without fail. I doubt you will find anyone with better communication than 49 updates in 3 days just alone. Let alone 5 months. That is why people love us as we constantly update on your child's day activities, water intake, nappy changes and food intake, sleeps.
You gave food a 3 star, we have two hot home cooked dinners per day followed by healthy snacks fruit yogurts etc. If our food is a 3 star can I please ask why you didn’t provide your daughter with a packed lunch. 9-10 hours is a long day and if you wasn’t happy with food we advise you provide with what’s best with you. You never once mentioned the food to us.
Olivia was a very pleasant child to care for and really loved our setting and certainly made loads of friends. Built great relationships with everyone. I’m sure she will miss the setting a lot
Again apologies for the short notice to end your contract, it’s something we’ve never ever done before and we really are sorry you wanted to stay with us til September.
Wish Olivia all the best on her new journey

Kerry and her team are incredible. Knowing my son and daughter are so well looked-after there is a great feeling. I trust them completely. They provide a fun, educational setting where the children feel part of a family. I feel lucky to have found somewhere so special.
My son was born during lockdown and was scared of everybody and everything. But he has settled in there so well. Kerry spent one-on-one time with him constantly and went out of her way to make him feel comfortable and secure. Now he is a happy, smiley little boy.
At Kerry’s, the children are all appreciated as individuals with their little quirks and personalities. As well as being constantly stimulated and educated, they are loved, and that’s something I don’t believe you can find just anywhere. An outstanding setting with outstanding people who go the extra mile.

Kerry and her team are wonderful, my son is 24 months and has been there for 4 months now and he has settled in very well. I get updates throughout the day on what my little man is doing. It makes my day at work even better knowing my baby boy is having a wonderful time with Kerry and the others he comes out happy as ever with makes it even more better. I know for sure My son wont be leaving until he starts primary. It’s like his second home with is lovely.
Kerry is very very flexible with the days and hours and is a god send. I would recommend her 100%. Your child would be happy as ever in her care :)

My daughter really loves Kerry’s setting. She adores Kerry, Kirsty & Nanny K. She speaks about them often at home and asks to go and see them on her days off. She’s made really good friends with the other children which is really lovely to see. Kerry updates me regularly with pictures & messages. They do really fun activities too! They are very accommodating & flexible with hours and will do all they can to help. It’s been a really great experience so far and a god send for our family. Would recommend Kerry’s setting to anyone. Thank you for everything ladies ♥

Kerry, Karen and Kirsty are an amazing team. Our two year old joined them following a disruptive family time and I cannot tell you how much it has meant to have him in such a happy, fun and and safe family environment. Kerry and the team do so much with kids as well as understanding when they need downtime. I'm pretty sure that our boy thinks they are his family and he loves his time there. I couldn't imagine we could have found a better place anywhere! Knowing that a child is happy and feels secure is everything and Kerry and her team provide that - and more!
