Kelleys's Reviews

The BEST

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.

Highly recommend

Kelley has made a daunting experience of leaving my child so much easier! My toddler has a great time every week, has made some good friends. Kelley uses an app to update on all the need to knows, amount eaten, nappies sleep time etc and uploads photos of what my toddler has been up to. Kelley puts a lot of effort into activities done and often does trips to the park. I have moved out of Watford but decided to keep sending my toddler there as not sure I’d fine someone as good in my new area

The best

I couldn’t recommend Kelley more. Our 2.5 year old has been in Kelleys care for 1.5 years now, and is absolutely thriving. Kelley was great from the offset, our initial settling period went well but we had a few tricky weeks later down the line and Kelley was very understanding and patient, going the extra mile, giving her time to adjust, soon after that she was loving her time there.

My daughter loves the little friends she’s made there and is constantly chatting about them, Kelley, her dogs and what they get up to. I’m always impressed with the range of activities and the trips out of the house they make.

Kelley is lovely and always happy to offer her advice and answer endless questions. The updates she sends are very helpful, especially in the early days they gave me peace of mind that my daughter was sleeping, eating, and generally happy.

Kelley always does her best to accommodate extra days / changes of schedules where possible, which we really appreciate.

We are so happy that we found Kelley, you can really see the care and attention she puts in to what she does. She’s a gem and our daughter loves her.
