My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Kayleigh and I am a GOOD rated ofsted registered childminder. I live in a gated premises with CCTV covering the grounds and I run my setting from my very large annexe in my beautiful garden. It has it's own picket fenced astro turfed garden and a very spacious inside.
I am qualified in paediatric first aid, level 2 in food hygiene and have completed all of my EYFS training. I am also a member of the forest school and aim to get all children outside everyday. I continue to take supplementary courses and I'm particularly interested in the mental health and wellbeing of children having had a child of my own who suffered with PTSD after a major surgery.
I have my own car and relevant insurance to take the kids on educational trips or take a walk to the local park which is Rushmere and Adams bottom park. I have a wide range of educational, fun and inclusive toys that the children all have access to at all times.
I follow the EYFS framework to prepare the children for school. I work closely with parents to ensure my home is a happy and stimulating environment. And I pride myself in having the most wonderful reviews from previous parents upon request.
My Experience
I have experience as a mum of a 8 year old and a 5 year old, as well as regularly having my niece and nephew.
I have been running my very successful setting for the last 2 and a half years and I do regular training for the continued development of children in my care.

Kayleigh (The Happy House) has been my daughter’s childminder for over a year and a half and she is absolutely excellent.
An attentive and nurturing person who treats the children in her care as her own. She always organises fun, developing weekly activities for children in her care and ensures that parents are updated on daily/weekly plans.
She has gone above and beyond a few times and shows true compassion and interest in the families she meets.
My daughter absolutely loves going to The Happy House and I have peace of mind when she is in Kayleigh’s care as I know she is safe and well looked after.

We had the pleasure of hiring Kayleigh when my little girl started reception to help with pick ups from school.
From the moment we met Kayleigh, it was clear that she had a genuine passion for working with children. Her warm and welcoming demeanor instantly put us at ease especially at a transitional time for my daughter as she was starting school.
Kayleigh’s approach to childcare is holistic and nurturing. We have never had a childminder before and were pleasantly surprised by Kayleigh’s approach. Every day after school she would do fun activities with the children such as arts and crafts, outdoor play and themed play which we weren’t expecting at all. She also helped my daughter build her confidence and a lovely community of friends as well as get comfortable with 4-legged friends too!
Communication is also a highlight of working with Kayleigh. She provided regular updates and shared photos of my daughter.
Kayleigh’s company is call the “Happy House” and it truly is! Her home was always tidy and organised and full of warmth and fun.
I highly recommend Kayleigh to any parent looking for a reliable and nurturing childminder. We will miss her and her family so much! Thank you Kayleigh for everything
