After a turbulent two years and a half years on the planet, Kayleigh has been a constant in my daughters life. After a nasty split and so much uncertainty she knows that every week she will be going to see Kayleigh. I can’t recommend her highly enough, she always opens the door with a smile on her face and my kid always runs in for a hug. Since going to see Kayleigh she has come on leaps and bounds with talking, her mood is always better after going and when I get her back she’s excited to tell me what she has been up to (also in the evening she goes to bed nice and easy thankgod). Kayleigh always keeps her busy wether that’s painting, playing, looking for bugs, guessing the fruit, going to the park or much more. Those were just what I have been told about in the last week. So rest assured your kids are in safe hands with Kayleigh, I was so nervous the first time I dropped her off, within an hour I was being texted pictures of my little girl playing and settling. Since then it has been bee’s second home, from an adult perspective I honestly can’t thank you enough Kayleigh for being in our support network it’s meant a lot.

Kayleigh is an absolutely fantastic childminder who became part of the family very quickly! She couldn't do enough for my son and always went above and beyond for us. My son was always so happy to go to her and I think her house became his second home. The activities kayleigh planned for him as he grew we're always varied, fun and age appropriate. I believe his development was positively encouraged through the activities Kayleigh planned. Despite moving to another town we are currently expecting baby number 2 and plan to use her again when the time comes.

Kayleigh is worth her weight in gold! She has cared for our eldest son, who now goes to school but regularly asks to go back to Kayleighs, and currently has our youngest child.
Kayleigh’s home is such a caring, cosy and safe environment. The variety of toys, puzzles and activities she has available is just incredible and there’s always activities set up when we arrive.
Kayleigh regularly updates us through the online portal and shares lots of pictures of our little one - which I love to see whilst I’m working, it’s so reassuring to see how happy our child is.
Kayleigh has such a lovely, friendly and gentle personality that makes her an amazing childminder. We were so lucky to find her! Highly recommended!

Kayleigh looked after my son once a week and picked him up from Grove Primary school for after school care. Kayleigh did this from reception until COVID lockdown. My son would still be going to her now, if my hours at work hadn’t changed. My son loved going to Kayleigh’s and she was always so flexible with his care even when he took on an after school club, she still collected him.
I’ve recommend Kayleigh’s childminder services to my family, and she was highly recommend to me when I was looking for childcare services for my son.
We had an incident at school and Kayleigh dealt with this professionally and ensured all paper work and communication was covered with myself and the school. This was in reception class and I felt so reassured that Kayleigh was looking after my son as if he were one of her own.
If my hours at work changed again, I would 100% contact Kayleigh to start back after school childcare!
