About Me

Hello, my name is Kelly Earls, and I am an Ofsted-registered childminder based in Loughton, Essex, just a five-minute walk from Debden Station.

I have over 19 years of experience providing high-quality childcare in a safe, nurturing, and home-from-home environment. References are available upon request.

I am a proud mum to three wonderful children: Jake (20), who works alongside me as my assistant, Archie (16), and Sid (11). We also have two adorable French Bulldogs who are a much-loved part of our family home.

My setting is warm, welcoming, and filled with care, where every child is treated as an individual and encouraged to learn, grow, and thrive. I am passionate about creating a happy and secure environment where children feel valued, supported, and loved while developing confidence and independence through play and learning.

I obtain an enhanced DBS (formerly CRB) check, full public liability insurance, and business-use vehicle insurance for safe transportation and outings.

I am passionate about working with children and provide a warm, caring, and family-oriented environment for children aged 0–16 years. My aim is to create a safe, nurturing setting where children feel happy, secure, and supported as they learn, play, and develop.

I have a fully secure garden equipped with a variety of age-appropriate toys and activities to encourage outdoor play and exploration. I also regularly attend local toddler groups and organise educational outings and day trips, including visits to farms, parks, beaches, and other places of interest, helping children to develop confidence, social skills, and new experiences.

If you are looking for reliable, experienced childcare or would like to discuss your family’s childcare needs, please feel free to get in touch. I would be delighted to hear from you and discuss how I can support you and your child.

I look forward to welcoming your child into our family-friendly setting.

Below are the latest reviews for Kearls. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.

Kelly has looked after our little boy since October 2011 and we have never been so happy with Aidan's childcare when we are at work. He loves going there and he is always happy there which is the main thing for us.

Kelly sin't one of these childminders that 'Babysits' our son, she takes him to activities and places.

I can't rate Kelly highly enough.
