Kellycare has been the ideal early years setting for our daughter - the best we could have hoped for. It was recommended to us by a local family and we can see why most of her families come to her by word-of-mouth. It was by far the nicest childminder setting we saw - and we visited a lot!
Kelly's home setting is such a beautiful space, with a large, well laid-out playroom ideal for the children's learning and play and very well equipped. There is a homely kitchen for the children's meals and both spaces lead out to the garden where there are outdoor play resources and a climbing frame. It’s like a little nursery, but with the close relationships and consistency of carers that comes with a childminder – this has been the best of both worlds for us. Kelly formed such a caring, supportive relationship with our daughter as did her wonderful assistant who is also brilliant with the children. Our daughter's had lots of individual attention and it's obvious she's flourished because of it - in her learning and development but also in growing into being a happy, confident child who looks forward each day to coming to Kellycare and comes home full of happy stories each day. She's also benefitted from playing daily with slightly older toddlers and we feel this has boosted her learning.
Our daughter has learned a lot in her time with Kelly - Kelly does not simply provide care but is also an experienced early years educator and integrates learning into the play, activities and outings the children go on. The activities provided clearly have an impact on her as she comes home being able to do things we wouldn’t have thought to introduce to her yet, eg. identifying letters in her name and counting to large numbers. We have really appreciated the exciting outings you have taken the children on, giving our daughter lots of new experiences and fun with the other children.
Kelly has always communicated well with us as parents, giving us daily updates at pick-up and sending through ad-hoc updates and photos through WhatsApp during the day. We also receive monthly home learning packs that outline our daughter's achieved milestones and next steps. Kelly has always been flexible with us around adding extra childcare days, switching days etc, and this has been really helpful for us as working parents.
Kelly has expertly prepared our daughter for joining her big brother at school in the autumn. We feel very lucky to have been recommended Kellycare and are very happy that our daughter gets to spend her days away from us with you. Our daughter will definitely be coming back to you in the school holidays. Thank you for taking such good care of her!

Kelly has been looking after my son since September 2013. During this time she has ensured that not only his physical needs but also his social needs are met. Good relationships have been fostered with the other children in Kelly’s care, where she treats the children fairly. She provides age appropriate activities, both indoors and outdoors, as well as supporting work done in school. Kelly also has an understanding of parents’ needs and aims to support parents when possible.
I am very satisfied with all aspects of Kelly’s care and highly recommend her as service.

Kellycare is an ideal place for childcare especially if you're looking for home from home childcare. She has the perfect settings and adapted her home for young children. My daughter came to Kelly when she was about 2 and a half and loved every moment, never wanted to leave. She has the best staff who are as loving and caring and passionate about childcare just as much as she is. Kellycare is very flexible where possible and you always know your child is in safe hands. Very understanding with new mums and will keep you up to date throughout the day with pictures and messages when your child hits milestones that you may miss. I will always recommend Kellycare as its such a lovely environment for children, very loving and caring, great variety of food and learning too. Kellycare takes your child through their expected learning stages as well as help with potty training, and will also try and push your child if they see they are exceeding. We miss you lots Kellycare and when I have my next child I'm definitely coming back to you.

Kelly was recommend to us by another fantastic childminder and we really had a great experience with her service. My child was very safe with her, he learned a lot. Because she had a good educational background, the children were able to benefit from her and the setting. My child cannot forget about the from life cycle and the numbers & sounds she helped him with. I would recommend Kelly childcare to everyone.

I trusted kelly with my little girl when she was only 4months old. Kelly made sure she had a one to one member of staff for my daughter daily. They looked after her with so much love and care and followed the routine I wanted them to. Kelly has a very clean and home from home setting which makes me feel like it's different from any other setting. Babies and toddlers are kept in their own little area away from older ones so they get a good rest when needed and noise levels are managed well. She provides all food etc if required and nothing is ever too much if needed from her. They always take them out into the community or even to the local park so they are never just stuck inside. They have a wide range of activities on a daily basis and everything is done professionally. Kelly deserves a 5 star review as she literally gives up her home for the children she cares for and always has their needs and best interests at heart xxx

Kelly is amazing! I have three children (9, 6 and 2) and Kelly has looked after all of them at some stage, two of my children first went to her when they were 5 months old and my youngest is still with her. My children have loved being with Kelly and her team. The activities she does are all things I would do with my children. The children go to playgroup, sensory play, messy play, day trips, parks, the cinema on occasion, and when at home, Kelly has organised her space so well, with meaningful toys and a lodge purpose built for children. I honestly couldn't be happier and neither could my children.

Kellycare provides a calm, safe and exciting setting for my daughter and all the other children in their care. My daughter started at Kellycare almost 2 years ago and since starting she began walking, massively developed her speech and is now fully potty trained- all with the support of Kelly, staff members and the children she is surrounded with. I feel so comfortable and settled when I drop my daughter off each morning and every afternoon she has a new story to tell! Kellycare provides a warm and loving setting. My daughter really enjoys her time there, I have great trust in everyone at Kellycare and I am very grateful for their services.
