My Summary
About Me
**Spaces available from September 2026**
Hi to all you mums and dads, my name is Keeley Maher.I have a level 3 diploma in childcare learning and development. I am also fist aid trained. I have 3 daughter’s one who is 11 years old, 4 years old and a 3 year old. My daughter attended a childminder for about 9 months and while she was here this gave me the idea of starting up my own setting. We have lots of fun together going out to local parks, going for walks, baking together, etc. We would like some other little friends to come and join our fun too!! I provide a warm safe, happy and stimulating home environment within my home. I have a large garden which is well equipped for the summer time.
I have converted my garage into my play room and made it as homely as can been. We have lots of space for the children to relax on the carpet or have some messy fun at the tables.
I accept government funding form 9months-2 years.
I do not accept 3 and 4 year old funding.
My Experience
I have worked in the child care industry for the last 15 years and have gained experience working with children from 3 months to 5 years. I also have experience working with children with additional needs. I find my work very fulfilling and rewarding and feel the time is right to start this new adventure. I have 3 daughters so have plenty of personal experience. As well as working as a childminding assistant for a year, where I gained a lot of experience in the home to home care environment for children.

Keeley had our little girl from when I went back to work until she went to a school Nursery.
She has always been so accommodating as my work can be a bit all over the place, Isla felt comfortable going in every morning & was happy at pick up.
I would recommend Keeley to anyone looking for a happy place to send their child.
Thank you so much for everything

Keeley and Carly have been amazing in providing our son a safe, fun and loving environment over the past few months. He’s absolutely loved his time there and would always tell me he’d had a lovely day when I picked him up. The environment is always clean and tidy, the garden is spacious with lots of outdoor activities which our son loved being out in, and there were always plenty of toys to play with and activities to do. He loved all the food and kept telling me that Keeley’s quiche is also better than mine! He’s going to really miss the setting and we’ll be looking to send our other little one there when the time comes. I feel very comfortable and relaxed leaving him knowing that he was being very well looked after

Keeley currently looks after my daughter. Keeley has been very flexible and has made life so much easier for me to balance working part time as a single mother. Would recommend Keeley to anyone.
