About Me
TERM TIME ONLY CHILDMINDER
CHILDCARE FUNDING ACCEPTED
I have space avaliable on Tuesdays and Wednesdays
Highly qualified professional Childminder with 20+ years child care experience. NVQ4, first aid trained, DBS checked.
Hello Parents and Guardians,
My name is Kelly, I am childminder with my own children. Oliver born 2020 and Mila born 2023. We live on Birkbeck road in Sidcup.
Oliver is a pupil at Birkbeck primary school. I provide wrap around services from this school.
Mila and I are very excited for other little ones to join us during the day so we can go on lots of adventures together to playgroups, parks, for nature walks and to share our lovely toys and garden space. We have a large garden with playhouse, sandpit, water tray, swings, slide and nature area. I offer the 9month + funding.
I am a non driver but am very confident using public transport when needed. I have a double pushchair with buggy board.
I am a gentle but firm person who values good manners and learning through play and experience. I love taking the children in my care to the park, woods, farms, any green space I can find really.
Letting them explore and learn through the environment and their senses. We are an environmentally friendly family and love growing our own fruit and vegetable in our garden and at our allotment. From this I enjoy cooking home cooked healthy meals as often as I can. I believe I am a fun, happy and energetic person who can provide responsive and stimulating care.
I am sometimes the crazy lady you will see playing peekaboo in the supermarket or singing out loud walking down a street to calm an upset child. The children are my number one priority and I don't embarace easily.
I have been a professional Nanny working in Blackheath and Greenwich for a decade and previous to this I have worked in private schools and day nurseries. I come highly recommended (so my employers say) and I have great checkable references.
My partner Mike works from home most of the time and has a dedicated office in the loft conversion. He is CRB checked and a wonderful daddy to our little pickles. He would be more than happy to meet any of my prospective clients so you can have full disclosure of who will be in the property and so that you are 100% happy with your choice of childcare setting for your children.
Warmest regards
Kelly, Oliver and Mila and Mike.
My Experience
My interest in childcare was sparked at the age of 14 when I began babysitting for local families in my little village in Norfolk. From this I decided to qualify in childcare and then moved in to day nursery care.
At 19 I made the big move to London and worked in a day nursery in Lee for 4 years. I then went to work in a private school in Blackheath for a further 4 years. Whilst working here I did a lot of holiday cover for the local families and baby sitting and realised how much I enjoyed the 1:1 focused care I could provide and decided to become a private nanny so I could support family's through the younger years of raising their children and providing the best possible care for babies and young children. I have been a private nanny for the last 10 years and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Upon having my own children I feel it is time for another change of direction and to work more closely around my little ones. I love being a childminder and am very excited to continue to provide top notch childcare to the local families of Sidcup.

We employed Kelly as a nanny for our son from 12 months until he started at primary school and currently use her childminding services. Kelly became very much part of our family and made my return to work after maternity leave very easy as I knew my son was always in great hands. Kelly has she has such a great way with children, always making them laugh and teaching them about the world. Would not hesitate to recommend Kelly to other families.

Kelly was our nanny for over four years (mixed sole charge and nanny share, before and after she had her own children) and our families remain in touch. We couldn't ask for anyone better. Apart from being super organised: tidying, cooking, activities, homework etc. etc. she communicates really well with the kids, whether its resolving conflicts, explaining concepts, or teaching empathy.
Her style is loving/caring but still firm and fair. Genuinely believe she's played an important role in moulding our children into great little humans.

I have used Kelly for Ad Hoc nannying multiple times for my baby who is now 6 months. She over exceeded in what I thought would just be looking after him but she sent me pictures and made me feel like my baby was in safe hands. I also met her two children who are really sweet and caring. Her house is really kitted out with all kind of toys for all levels and ages. Feel like I am able to trust her with my child, so much I will be using her for full time childminding when I go back to work.
