About Me
Welcome to Happy Days Childminding
Hello, my name is Kelly, and Happy Days is a fun, friendly, and welcoming childminding setting.
We have a wide range of resources and activities for children to enjoy, as well as a garden that is used throughout the year. We regularly visit playgroups and soft play centres, and we offer a variety of outings to support children’s learning and development.
We also have a great network of local childminders and minded children, providing plenty of opportunities for social interaction and making new friends.
If you would like any further information, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to send you a copy of my welcome booklet and answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and good luck in your search for the right childcare setting for your family.

Happy Days Childminding
My Experience
I have been a registered childminder since 2013 and have continually developed and adapted my setting over the years to meet the needs and interests of the children in my care.
Alongside childminding, I have nannying experience, having cared for a baby from 3 months old through to the age of 4. I have also worked in the kindergarten department of a private school, supporting children aged 12 months to 5 years.
As well as my professional experience, I am a mother of three children. Being a parent has taught me invaluable skills and given me a deeper understanding of children’s individual needs, development, and wellbeing.
This combination of professional knowledge and personal experience enables me to provide a warm, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Kelly has looked after both of my children for the past 2.5 years, they have loved attending every day & I’m so so glad I chose her as a childminder! The children were welcomed with open arms and settled straight away. Kelly has offered so much support to us as a family & helped with getting extra support for my son too. I could not recommend Kelly enough it’s not a surprise she was awarded outstanding in her ofsted report, nothing is ever too much for her & the children have been on so many fun days out from local nature walks to Cadbury world, farms, museums and Warwick castle. They have made so many friends & all of the children in the setting treat each other as a second family. I have found childminding to be so much better than a nursery from our experience with regular updates throughout the day via WhatsApp and many photos to treasure from over the years. Thank you sooo much Kelly you’ve been absolutely brilliant and we are all going to miss you!! Hopefully the children will still get to see their happy days family in the school holidays but in the meantime take care to you all, I know the new children starting will love it just as much!! 🥰

My daughter started attended with Kelly at 11 months, she is now 18 months and my overall experience has been amazing, my daughter has come such a long way with development. I can’t thank Kelly enough for her time and making sure my daughter had fun experiences.

Thank you so much for your review, your comments are very touching and I have loved having your little one here, we have had some very fun times..
Good luck with your next adventures 🥰
We found Kelly at short notice after a previous childminder had let us down and I am so glad she had space. My 15 month old boy absolutely loves going there and has lots of fun. The children do lots of activities, arts and crafts, trips out, singing and learn lots just by playing in a stimulating and fun environment. She provides a really good and varied breakfast and lunch and her house and garden is really well adapted for the children. I am really happy that my little boy has a great time while I am at work (he normally doesn't want to come home!) and I highly recommend her!
