My son has been going to Curious Cubs since my partner went back to work after her maternity leave ended, as any parent would be, we were worried about leaving him as he became quite clingy in the 10 months my partner was off with him but we soon realised it was the best thing we ever did. He has learnt and developed so much since going there. His speech has improved massively and he has learnt to play nicely with other children. We get regular updates, pictures and most weeks he comes home with something arty he has done whilst with Kelly. I can't thank Kelly enough for all the effort she puts into the upbringing of my child, I would certainly recommend.

Kelly is by far one of the best childminders in Luton! I can highly recommend Kelly shes absolutely fantastic with kids and makes sure they have a fun filled day my daughter said shes the best childminder ever! she always comes happy and full of life chatting about what they've done in the day literally couldn't be happier with Kelly and her service

My son loves going to Kelly’s house every day and always looks forward to it. I couldn’t ask for more from a childminder, Kelly always goes over and beyond what is expected of her. She is very patient and understanding. I would highly recommend curious cubs!

Kelly looked after my son Oscar for a little over a year. In this time my son formed such a lovely relationship with her - she always made me feel so at ease leaving my little boy 4 full days a week - especially when he couldn't wait to get there in the morning! Kelly would provide detailed information about meals and activities during the day which was fantastic for me as a worried first time mum. The activities were always diffetent and imaginative - often cooking, going out on day trips and bringing home souvenirs! Can't thank you enough for all your hard work Kelly, Oscar is a credit to me and a lot of that is down to the fantastic care he received - at the testing age of 2 he is already streaks ahead with his speech, counting and colours. Thank you for your care, encouragement and support. Anyone looking for childcare won't be disappointed with everything that Kelly has to offer.

Kelly was looking after my little boy from when he was about 7 months until 3 years of age. Every single day I would go to work knowing he would have a fun,educational and exciting day! from teething,walking, potty training, and learning to dress she helped us through all the milestones and kept me uodated continuously with lovely photographs and videos. Kelly has made such a big impact on Oscars upbringing it is a great shame that she has moved on to start her new business. I know Oscar will remember the amazing memories Kel helped create. fantastic childminder. good luck with your new adventure :)
