Kelly is worth her weight in gold.

She has cared for my daughter over the past couple of years and really shaped her into the little girl that she is.

Kelly has fantastic professionalism. She always keeps in touch and communicates well. She also keeps you up to date in the day with pictures in the day.

The environment that Kelly provides is always safe, clean & catered to the children she cares for.

My daughter absolutely loved her like a family member as Kelly has that personability. Yet, she can be firm when needs be and offers lots of positive reinforcement. You can really see that she has a lot of knowledge about child development.

Kelly offers snacks & drinks throughout the day and does a variety of activities with the children, which are all aimed at educating and improving confidence and imagination.

We are really going to miss seeing her as my daughter sadly has to leave to go to school. I wish we could take kelly with us!

Thanks for everything. Would 100% recommend.

Thank you Rebecca, it has been a joy, I will miss her!

An absolute diamond of a childminder. There is no one I would have rather left my child with and we have been overwhelmed by the love and support she has shown our son. Kelly provides a fun, engaging and safe environment for all children in her care and soon becomes to feel a part of your family, the children love her and it’s easy to see why. I appreciated Kelly’s kind and nurturing way with my son who she built a lovely bond with. He has developed socially, emotionally and physically whilst in Kelly’s care and she has more than prepared him for his start at school. The children have so many opportunities to create, explore and learn. She provides lovely activities and keeps you updated regularly on what they have been up to which is very reassuring as a parent. She is one of a kind and someone that we will always be grateful for being part of our son’s journey.

Thank you Danielle, I loved having him and will miss him very much but he’s going to love big school.

Kelly is the person you want to look after your child. Kelly is the most kind, caring, patient, engaging and fun childminder to our daughter. Our daughter built an incredible relationship with Kelly from the very start which had only grown with each day they are together. Kelly takes the time allowing children to discuss or communicate in some way their inner most thoughts regardless the size and ensures they’re heard. My daughter has been in Kelly’s care full time since October 2022 and we have noticed a huge leap in her development due to the activities Kelly takes her to or has planned either within the home or on their daily walks to the park, woodland, or local library as they are constantly learning on the go. I always recommend Kelly to any other parents as I couldn’t fault any part of Kelly’s care whatsoever.

Thank you Yvonne, it really has been so lovely to have her, she is going to love big school xx

My child has been in Kelly’s care for 2 years. He has absolutely loved attending and has improved so much in every aspect. Kelly has really helped in getting my child ready for school and he is really sad to leave his old setting.
Kelly has excellent communication skills both verbally and via WhatsApp. She constantly sends photos of what the children are involved in daily and how they’re getting on. It’s a pleasure to chat to Kelly at pick up and listen to the stories of what’s been going on.
Kelly covers all subjects and topics with the children throughout the year and this really helps with keeping the children interested and entertained.
My child has enjoyed all the walks and little trips that he has been involved in with Kelly over the time he has spent with her and he speaks extremely high of her when at home.
Keep doing what you’re doing Kelly, the children love you.

Thank you Bianca, I will miss Jonah but he will love big school xx

Kelly is one of the kindest and sweetest people you could ever meet. She cares so much about every child she looks after and is 100% committed to their happiness, their well-being and their development. I will always be indebted to Kelly for how she looked after my daughters when I was seriously ill. Knowing they were being so well cared for before and after school was a huge relief. For above and beyond and for keeping your child at the centre of all she does - Kelly is the best.
