My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder and live at home with my husband, two boys (born in 2009 & 2011) and our border collie dog. We live in Halterworth, Romsey in a 3 bed semi detached house with a large garden. We have lots of room for the children to move around and have plenty to keep them busy and active throughout the day.
We are always out and about exploring the New Forest and surrounding areas with the dog and we love to find new places to walk and explore!
My Experience
I have many years experience working within schools, in all year groups and worked very closely with school SENCO's. I have assisted in 1 to 1 speech therapy, physio sessions and other interventions within the classroom and have a keen interest in children’s mental health, autism, behaviour management and sign language and I am very keen on constantly improving my own learning by completing CPD’s and courses.
I have plenty of places where I like to take the children to improve their mental and physical skills and regularly attend local play groups, parks and plan other exciting days out! I have also managed after school clubs where I have to provide children with imaginative things to do to keep them occupied.
I also regularly meet up with other childminders and we go on adventures and days out to give the children lots of interaction with others there own age.

Following covid-19 we needed some childcare for our son. We found Kiely and she has continually exceeded all our expectations. Our son loved his days with Kiely, she always provided the children with lots of fun activities, inside and outside her clean and family friendly home. She also took our son to various parks/museums which he loved. He has just started school and whilst he has settled in nicely, he's misses his time with Kiely.
We have already booked ahead Kiely for our 3rd children and would not hesitate to recommend Romsey Rugrats to anyone :)

Kiely (Romsey Rugrats) is an excellent childminder and exceeded all of our expectations. Our son was with Romsey Rugrats full time for two years (2-4 years) and he truly blossomed while he was there. Kiely and the children are always off out on trips and when looking over their photos from the week we would often joke that he was living a much more exciting life than we were. With all these adventures and the kind and nurturing environment provided he has gained greatly in confidence and came out of his shell notably.
Our daughter was also with Kiely after school, she loved her time there and it really felt like Kiely had welcomed them both into her family when they were with her.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Romsey Rugrats to anyone looking for a caring and enriching childminder service.

Kiely has looked after my 2 year old for over a year and I couldn’t ask for a better childminder. My son has loved going to Kiely every day & has always been made to feel so at home by her and her family. Kiely always has lots of fun activities for the kids to do and also has great space for them in the house & a brilliant garden for the kids to spend time in. The children are always out & about whenever possible going to the park, woods etc. Kiely also is really organised & goes above & beyond to make your life easier where possible. We are really sad that our son can no longer have Kiely as a childminder due to relocating & think it will be extremely difficult to find a childminder as good again.

Highly recommend Kiely for anyone in need of a childminder. My son (3) absolutely loves going there. He gets so excited. Always has loads of fun whatever they do, there’s something for every child. Kiely is definitely passionate about caring for the children & making sure they have the best of times. Best childminder my son has had by far! So glad I found Romsey Rugrats- & very flexible too!

My two children have been at Romsey Rugrats for a few months now and I couldn’t be happier!! Kiely takes such wonderful care of them both and they always have a great time!! The developmental work she does with my son, encouraging him with his writing is just one example of the amazing job she does!! It’s always great to see what the children have been up to whilst there, they are always up to different exciting things!! Highly recommended!!
