Bumblebee Childcare

The Best of The Best!

As soon as we met Kelci, we knew we wanted our son to be with her when I went back to work. He started at only 10 months old and has had such an incredible time in her setting.

She is warm, kind and nurturing. She works from the EYFS curriculum and the children in her care are very well looked after. They eat healthy, home cooked nutritious meals and learn through play in the most exciting ways.

My son absolutely thrived with her, and we were very sad when I was his time to leave and go to nursery. However, the skills she taught him meant that he skipped in on his first day, feeling confident to socialise with the other children. Thank you Kelci!

Excellent!

We have been with Kelci and Erika for two years. My daughter started at 18 months and we are leaving now she is 3 as we are moving country. The ladies have been such a huge and integral part of her life and therefore our lives and we are forever grateful for their love and care.

After touring many nurseries around the area we finally found Kelci had an opening and from the moment we met her and toured her facility we knew this was where we wanted our daughter. The ladies are so kind and warm, it is a pleasure to see all of the little ones running inside to start their day.
They have jam-packed days full of singing, dancing, games, arts & crafts as well as lots of outside time in her beautiful garden. Our daughter has learned so many songs, nursery rhymes as well as numbers and letters!
We receive pictures daily of all the fun they are having :)
She receives home made meals every day and has thrived from the moment she started. Many milestones have been met and celebrated together.
Communication is always amazing, we receive great advice whenever needed and rather amazingly in two years there has never been an issue with sickness.
We are so thankful to have you both taking the absolute best care of our girl these last few years, we are so sad to be leaving you, whoever takes her place with you will be so incredibly lucky! XxXx

Incredible childminder

We were very impressed during our first meeting with Kelci, she was very professional and we straight felt like she was the right choice of childminder for our daughter! Our daughter spend almost a year with Kelci and we saw her growing, getting confident and happy to be in the setting and interacting with the other kids easily! Kelci is doing so much for them, a lot of interesting and seasonal activities, the garden is lovely and taking care of, with a lot of games for the kids.
The food is excellent as well, our daughter was eating more and more and got very good at eating with a spoon!
We always got somes pictures during the day during the activities, napping or playing even sometimes adorable videos of the kids singing and dancing together.
We couldn't have dreamed of a better childminder for our daughter and it was with very heavy heart to leave her. It is going to be hard to find a similar incredible person in our new country ❤️

Best Childminder ever!

From the moment I first met Kelci I felt so relaxed and at ease, I had a strong sense of peace that she would look after my son...and she and Erica have surpassed everything I could ever hope for!! I have never ever met anyone so genuine, caring, loving and CREATIVE!! She takes childcare to a whole new level. My son Jonathan has been attending for the past year and a half and he has honestly flourished in every area of his development. When he first started he had bad eczema and lots of food allergies and she handled it all wonderfully. She has supported us through lots of milestones and prepared my boy perfectly for a larger setting at nursery. I'm so sad to say bye and would have stayed as long as possible if it wasnt for having to move abroad. I could write a book full of praises, but I will end with saying that I couldnt have been more fortunate meeting Kelci and Erica - my husband and I are eternally grateful! And if we are ever back I'm Ealing with another little one we will be lining up outside your door! Anyone would be lucky to have their child cared for by Bumblebee childminding!
Lots of love, Loyce and Jonah

Best childminder in Ealing!

Kelci has been looking after our son since he was 10 months old. Our little one settled in very fast. Kelci has a lot of experience and she is so great at communicating and updating us. We love seeing all the beautiful craft activities they do on a weekly basis. Our son is very happy and we are so pleased to see all the progress. She is doing an amazing job to ensure he will be ready for nursery. We honestly couldn't recommend anyone else better than Kelci to look after young children.
