My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Kelly Matthews, I am a registered childminder in Margam, Port Talbot. I enjoy being outdoors and believe strongly in the benefits of the outdoors for childrens learning and development. I spend time in my garden and visit lots of local attractions throughout the week. I like to make the most of it during the school holidays and when time allows I take advantage of not being restricted by school runs by going out for longer day trips and visiting areas further afield.
