KELLY's Reviews

Extended family

When I first met Kelly at a playgroup I mistakenly thought the children in her care were her own. Her warmth and patient approach and her obvious love for her job is reflected in the close relationship she has with the children.

When Alexander was 16 months old, Phil and I decided we needed some help with childcare whilst both juggling work commitments. That was nearly two years ago now and Alexander has grown to love not only Kelly but her family too. We cannot leave them without him giving multiple kisses and cuddles. Kelly doesn't just mind your child, your child becomes part of the extended family.

Kelly is ofsted registered and we have recently received the child development folder Kelly has completed, a lovely photographic leaning story of Alexander's growth and development over the past two years. It's reassuring that whilst in Kelly's care, your child not only receives the love, care and security needed, but they are also being exposed to lots of different envionments and a vast array of fun activities.

Phil and I are extremely pleased with the quality of care Alexander has received, we would highly recommend Kelly to other families needing some support.

Professional and loving

Florence joined Kelly when she was 10 months old. Flo has always needed lots of attention, hugs and cuddles. I felt very anxious about asking somebody else to step in and provide that level of care. Kelly gave lots of cuddles and reassurance and carried Florence around until she was confident enough to play independently. Kelly and her lovely family have given our daughter a loving, stimulating, lively environment to grow up in, 3 days a week for 2 years now. Seeing Kelly and the friends that she has made is the highlight of her week. Flo is a happy, thriving little girl because we made an excellent choice for her childcare. I cannot recommend Kelly Stroud highly enough.

Michele, thank you for the smashing review, you know how I feel about our Flo, and just seeing her grow from that weeny, dependent baby to the confident, little girl she has grown into is just fab!

Fabulous Childminder

My son Albert has been with Kelly now for 6-months and simply adores her! Just walking to her door puts a huge smile on his face! Choosing childcare for your most treasured possession is such a hard job, but from my initial meeting with Kelly in her home, where I met her own wonderful children I knew she was exactly the type of person I wanted to leave my son Albert with. He has such a varied day with her and throughly enjoys himself. Kelly took on board Alberts established routine with ease - and has in fact helped me change some aspects that weren't working! I never ever have to worry about him whilst he is with her as I know he is safe, happy and loved by her and her family. Everyday I get a report of what he has been up, nappy changes etc.. I would recommend any mum to use Kelly for childcare as I truly believe she has enhanced Albert's life already x
