Testimonials

I can put you in touch with the parents of the children I currently care for but below are some testimonials from past clients.

Dr Stephen Attard Montalto & Eva Dijsselbloem
Our daughter Nova has been going to Kevin for over 18 months ever since she was ten months old. We were very happy with Kevin as a childminder as he used to take care of Nova just like his own child. Every day they used to do different activities whether it was arts & crafts, baking or attending playgroups in the area. He makes sure he regularly takes them to the park or they play in the garden, where he shows them different bugs, birds and plants. She always used to go to Kevin's happily in the morning and we felt safe leaving our daughter there. Kevin paid particular attention to the development of the children he cared for and our Nova has developed very well indeed under his direction. He always made sure he updated us about anything new that she had learnt. We were very pleased with Kevin's service which was very professional and fun for our daughter. We recommend him very highly as a childminder and have no doubt that he is one of the best in his business. You are very welcome to contact us if you have any questions.

Claire Robinson - BR1
I have known Kevin Howarth and his family for 3 years, and he has looked after my two sons, Harry (3) and James (1) when I have needed childcare. He seems very organised and shows a good balance of being firm with the children while ensuring they have a good time. He creates an atmosphere of fun and warmth in which any child would thrive.
My children clearly enjoyed their time spent with Kevin and I would be very happy for him to look after them in the future.

Kevin has looked after my kids (aged 4 & 6) for 6 weeks - after school care. I have been very pleased with Kevin, but more importantly, my kids have enjoyed being with Kevin and his family. They have always looked forward spending time with him.
The food provided by Kevin has always been balanced and healthy - my kids have loved it !
As an added bonus, Kevin has even managed to find time to read their school books with them.
I would be happy to use Kevin's services in the future.

My son could not wait to return to Kev's house each week.  Our kids had a great time and both were very content when I arrived to pick them up.  Kev was calm and very communicative with the children.

Registration Reference
Below is the reference I submitted to Ofsted for my registration from the Head of Business Studies at St. Angela's Ursuline School, Forest Gate.

 

 

I have known Kevin for 6 years as a friend.

 

In my opinion Kevin is eminently suitable to look after young children.

 

He is a very calm, organised person who has successfully balanced a potentially stressful marketing position with his family life. He is the sort of person who plans ahead, but can still cope with unforeseen circumstances.

 

He clearly loves his own young children and at social events with other young children such as my niece and nephews, Kevin displays kindness and warmth towards them. He is able to relate to youngsters in a playful and humorous manner. What is more, he clearly enjoys his time with his own and other young children.

 

Kevin is well educated and from what I have seen with his daughter, he is keen to encourage learning through play. He seems to have endless patience where his own and other children are concerned.

 

Finally, I would say that Kevin is very safety conscious, ensuring that children in his care come to no physical harm. I have seen him be firm with his daughter when necessary, without compromising the wonderful relationship he has with her. I am sure he could transfer all of these skills in dealing with other children.

 

Yours faithfully
