We feel incredibly lucky to have found Kelley. Our daughter started with her when she was just one year old, and from the very beginning Kelley made what could have been a really daunting transition feel easy and reassuring.

Kelley provides such a warm, safe and welcoming environment. It genuinely feels like a home-from-home, and you can see how much care and thought she puts into everything she does. Our daughter settled in so quickly and now absolutely loves going - which says everything. There are no tears at drop-off, just excitement to get inside and see Kelley and her friends.

The range of activities is fantastic. From arts and crafts to music, playtime and regular outings including the park, every day is varied and engaging. It is clear that Kelley focuses not just on keeping children entertained, but on supporting their development, confidence and social skills. We have seen such a positive difference in our daughter since starting. she has grown in confidence, communication and independence.

Communication from Kelley is excellent. The regular updates about meals, naps and daily activities are so reassuring, especially in the early days, and it is lovely to see photos of what they have been up to. Kelley is always approachable, happy to give advice and incredibly supportive.

Her experience really shows. She is calm, patient, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about childcare. You always feel that your child is in very safe and capable hands.

We honestly could not recommend Kelley more highly. She is everything you would want in a childminder and more.
