FUN DAYS OUT! Do you have a child who loves rollercoasters and is over 140cm tall? Because this is my favourite thing to do let me take them for a fun day out at Alton towers - I try and take a small group (1-3 children once a month or so) especially if you have other children to juggle or you can’t easily access/don’t like theme parks, this is getting popular for those big kids that deserve a treat!
I love swimming, yoga, being outdoors and spending time with my family. I’m interested in fitness, nutrition and promoting wellbeing and mindfulness :)
FAQ’s:
Q: What ages do you care for?
A: All ages - newborn to teen and beyond. I’m also experienced in care of adults with disabilities and elderly care (although my main career has been based around childcare)
Q: Where will you care for my child?
A: We will usually be based at your home (or venue), however I love to be out and about, and have the option when nannying locally to pop home from time to time to see my gorgeous little Dachshund, which I ensure is a wonderful learning opportunity for children, especially if there are no pets at home
Q: How can I work from home with a Nanny?
A:Work from home? No worries - we can go out exploring, learning and playing, out from under your feet - I know all the best fun and educational places to visit
Q:Nanny, Nursery, Childminder, or Pre-school? What do I choose?
A:All settings are different, I have experience with all of the above and my preference is a Nanny, but not all Nannies are the same, or offer the same services so it’s important to choose the right person. Worried your child won’t develop social skills with a nanny so your not sure what to do? Let’s talk! We can chat about this or organise a nanny share! Children thrive in my care and learn so many skills, we interact within the local community, go out for lunch, and plan positive learning experiences every day.. I follow the same curriculum as nurseries, preschools and childminders, in my own unique and creative way
Q:I just need ad-hoc childcare or an occasional babysitter, can you help?
A:Yes of course! Message me with your requirements and if I’m available then I’m all yours!
Q:Are you available on the weekends?
A:Yes, but I get booked up quite far in advance so if you have a particular important date, please message as soon as possible to avoid missing out
Q:Can you help with my child’s birthday party?
A:Absolutely! I have a successful soft play hire business based in and around the Shrewsbury area with over 60 five star reviews (wahoo!).
I am also available, should you wish to hire an extra pair of hands to help you turn the chaos into calm, and I am also a face painter (I use that term lightly as I’m still practicing - although I haven’t had anyone tell me they didn’t like my work yet - maybe they are too polite but anyway… )
Feel free to message me about any of the above. Many thanks for reading if you got this far :)
My Experience
I have worked in a variety of childcare roles and have over 20 years of experience, I have also 3 years professional experience of caring for the elderly/disabled, and many more years caring for my own father with very complex medical conditions and disabilities. It’s fair to say nothing much will phase me and I’m very calm, even in an emergency

Had the pleasure of working with Kellie this past weekend for a cousin’s wedding. It was our first time leaving our 3 month old in the care of someone other than grandparents and Kellie made us feel so at ease. She was incredibly kind and professional, and she bonded with our little Evie right away. When I came to check in on them, she had Evie smiling and giggling away (a mother’s dream). Kellie also provided a variety of sensory play activities for the wedding day which our little one absolutely loved!! At the end of each night, Kellie gave a summary of the events of the day, including naps, nappy changes, feeds, etc. We did a mixture of bottles and breastfeeding over the day, and Kellie was very flexible with whatever was needed in the moment in terms of feeding requests. If you’re looking for any child care services, would highly recommend Kellie!

We really debated hiring a wedding nanny as I’d never even heard of one before, and it felt like an extra wedding expense we hadn’t budgeted for.
Looking back now, I genuinely can’t imagine how our day would have run without Kellie supporting our little boy Theo and his two cousins (aged 2, 3 and 4).
A few months before the wedding, Theo had a cold and I spent an entire weekend chasing after him with tissues — that was the moment I realised I didn’t want to be doing that on our wedding day and made our booking!
Within the first 5 minutes of her arriving, I spotted Kellie pinning Theo down with a tissue - it really made me laugh and I instantly knew she had it covered!
She helped get Theo ready in his little suit alongside Dad, and from then on, just took care of everything.
Before the ceremony, Kellie kept all three children calm and entertained. I honestly wasn’t convinced we’d get them all down the aisle, but it worked perfectly - I’m sure that was down to her magic behind the scenes.
Theo was exhausted during the ceremony, and Kellie took him off for a 2-hour nap straight afterwards. I don’t know how we would have managed that without her, and it meant none of our friends or family had to miss such a big part of our day.
While Theo napped, his cousins were happily entertained with the soft play and ball pit Kellie had brought along. It worked so well - they had the best time, and it kept everything nicely contained in one area.
With so many family and friends around, it’s easy for everyone to assume the children are being watched - and with our venue also being a working farm, it was really important to us to know they were being looked after. Kellie gave us complete peace of mind that she always knew where they were and that they were safe.
When the kids (inevitably!) didn’t want to sit still through the speeches and meal, Kellie stepped straight back in — keeping them entertained with bubbles and toys, while also making sure they each ate something.
Kellie came fully prepared with a little bum bag packed with Theo’s favourite Hot Wheels and bubble blowers, which instantly won him over. She also stepped in whenever he felt overwhelmed, especially when lots of evening guests arrived, which meant we could focus on welcoming everyone properly.
Kellie made sure Theo was part of our first dance, and when he got too tired, she took him off to get changed into his PJs, gave him his inhaler (he has asthma), settled him to sleep and stayed with him until 1am when nanny and grandad could take over.
Hiring a wedding nanny was the decision I debated the most, but without a doubt it made the biggest difference to our day and I’m so glad we found Kellie.
When we talk about “our little wedding day” with Theo, and we list who was there - family, friends - he always adds, “And my friend Kellie!” 😊

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding nanny. Kellie & team did such an incredible job looking after our 4-month-old son throughout the day which meant we were actually able to relax and fully enjoy our wedding knowing he was in such safe and caring hands.
She also went above and beyond by chaperoning him to the chapel so he could be part of our ceremony, and bringing him out for photos afterwards which meant so much to us. Would absolutely recommend to any parents looking for childcare support on their wedding day ❤️

Kellie was a wonderful nanny at a wedding we went to. My (almost) 6 month old was so well looked after in a group of young babies with several nannies. Whenever I popped in during the event, my baby was being held, was changed, and seemed very happy. The nannies all held an incredible level of energy throughout a long event. Communication ahead of the wedding was fabulous as well, Kellie was warm and reassuring, and listened well to our baby’s needs. Kellie’s help meant we could enjoy the event with the occasional pop in, and without any worry or stress. Thank you and we highly recommend!

Kellie cared for our 8 month old son for 12 hours at a wedding in March 2026. Kellie is professional, friendly and wonderful with children. The communication in the lead up to the wedding and on the day of the wedding was fantastic. This was the first time our baby was in the care of a non family member or friend and it was so important to us that we felt comfortable with who he was being cared by. We could enjoy our evening knowing our son was safe, happy and cared for by Kellie.
Kellie made sure our son was fed his bottles as well as lunch and dinner, ensured his nappies were regularly changed as needed and played with him interactively. Kellie also facilitated his afternoon nap and then successfully completed the bed time routine and sat in our room with our son whilst he slept and until we came up to bed. This was all done on site at the wedding venue and we were able to see our son whenever we we wanted (although we happily left them to it for most of the day knowing how content our son was).

We had the absolute pleasure of having our wedding nanny join us on 26th March, and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough. She arrived at 11am to care for my daughter and nephew, and from the moment she stepped in, everything felt effortless.
She was amazing with the children—warm, attentive, and completely in tune with their needs—which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our special day. Knowing they were in such safe and caring hands made all the difference.
What really stood out was how naturally she blended in with our family and guests. She was so lovely, professional, and approachable, and it truly felt like she was part of the celebration rather than just providing a service.
We’re so grateful she was there—she made the whole day run smoothly and stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for childcare at their wedding or special event.

I needed some last minute childcare and Kellie was absolutely brilliant. My 1& 3 year old immediately look a shining to her and it was easy for me to leave them with her. She is very professional. So. so glad I found her on childcare.co.uk will definitely be using her again in the future.

We had Kelly looking after our little one for two months in Autumn '25. They had a great relationship and our little one really bonded with Kelly. They mostly spent time at Kelly's house and Kelly was pretty flexible about moving things around etc.

We hired Kellie for our wedding day, and she was an absolute lifesaver. From the moment she arrived, she was calm, professional, and so warm with our little one. She instantly put us at ease, and our baby took to her straight away. It meant we could fully relax and enjoy the day knowing he was in the best hands.
She kept everything running smoothly — from feeding and nap times to entertaining and keeping him happy during photos. She even thought of little things we hadn’t, which showed how experienced she is with weddings and children alike.
So many guests commented on how lovely she was, and we honestly couldn’t have managed the day without her. If you’re getting married and wondering whether to hire a wedding nanny — do it, and make sure it’s Kellie! She’s incredible. 💕
