My Summary
About Me
I'm a registered childminder since 2010 and I work in partnership with my wife Kelly a childminder since 2005.
We look after children from newborn and pick up from all schools in Fishguard.
We live close to the park and we have a spacious home with two playrooms and a nursery dedicated to childminding as well as a spacious, enclosed garden with various outdoor toys.
We provide lunch and a homecooked dinner with all dietary needs taken into account.
My Experience
As well as having my own three year old son I have looked after children from 2 months - 13 years of which some of those children have had a range of additional needs. As the cook in the household I have catered for various dietary needs including severe allergies.

Kelly and Justin have been looking after my daughter Charley since she was 5 months old, she is now 15 months old and I knew I had made the right decision from day one.
I was due to go back to work as my maternity leave was coming to an end and decided that I wanted Charley to go to Kelly and Justin as they provide a home from home setting and also with the added benefit that it was nearby where I was due to go back to work.
I was sent pictures of Charley at the setting on the first day by Kelly and Justin which really put my mind at ease as I could see that she was happy and being well looked after and still receive pictures to this day which brightens my day.
Each child receives a diary which Kelly and Justin fill out to let you know all about your child's day at the setting which they then send home with your child, this includes times of naps, what they had to eat and how well they ate, when they had a nappy change, what the child did today as the children are taken to many places including the local park, local soft play, local beach, various walks, local cinema and baby and toddler groups and also trips to Folly farm, Scolton manor, Cilgerran wildlife park, Merlin magic, Withybush woods and Pengelli woods. Last of all your child's mood, I love to read this diary when I pick Charley up and am thrilled that her mood always says happy.
Truly are fantastic childminders, myself and Charley are very lucky.
Kelly and Justin have been looking after our son for 6 months now, and they made his transition to a new town very smooth. They are respectful of our parenting practices and are approachable when we want to discuss anything with them. They have embraced his routines and give him a warm, friendly environment with lots of fun activities as well as quiet time. It's a good balance and he seems very happy there. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Justin has been childminding my children for the last 7 years, and he is brilliant with them. He also makes them wonderful food to eat!!
My children have been going to Justin and Kelly for between three and four days a week for the last 8 years. They love going, they are very happy and secure there. my children adore Justin.
Justin ensures that they are given healthy food choices, this is very important to me and my family as my daughter suffers from Prader willie syndrome. I never have to worry about her overeating or eating junk food.
My children mix with other children on a daily basis and have made some very firm friendships with some of the children, this has helped them to gain social skills. this also means that they are never bored when they are with Justin and Kelly as there are always other children to play with.
Justin and Kelly offer a warm, safe,nurturing environment, I am very lucky to have Kelly and Justin looking after my children.
Not many childminders would have taken on a child with such a complex disability as my daughters, Justin and Kelly are patient and caring with her, Justin and Kelly treat her and my little boy with love, and kindness. i could not ask for more. I would 100 per cent recommend Kelly and Justin.
My little boy has been going to Justin and Kelly since he was 13 months and is now 3 and they are amazing.
From day one my little one took to them both immediately as well as all the other children and now theyre all a second family. He absolutely loves it there and I think he's made some friends for life.
We now also have our own private FB page for all the parents that photos are posted to often which I think is great.
During his early days I'd get text message updates throughout the day to say how he was doing so I didn't worry and now the odd message if he's done something new or interesting.
Having both a male and a female looking after him is better in my opinion than the usual female only setting as hes able to learn different things from both of them.
There is no one else I trust more than Kelly and Justin to make sure he is safe, well looked after, well fed and happy.
