Kelie Mc

Outstanding childminder!

I can’t recommend Kellie enough! She’s been absolutely amazing with my son. She’s always going above and beyond. He loves spending time with her, and she’s kind, patient, and genuinely cares about each child she looks after. She creates such a loving, safe, and homely environment where my son is thriving. Truly the best childminder i could ask for!

What really stands out is how much thought and care Kellie puts into everything she does. She takes the children out every day to different places — soft play, playgroups, libraries, forrest school and other educational trips — so they’re constantly learning and exploring new things in fun, hands-on ways.

Kellie has also been amazing at helping my son get ready for school next year, encouraging his independence, confidence, and social skills. I can already see how much he’s grown since being with her.
My son is really going to miss her when he moves on to school — she’s made such a special impact on him, and he’ll always have the happiest memories of his time with her!

Nothing short of a miracle!

As with many first-time parents, I was torn between choosing a nursery or a childminder, as I wanted to make the best decision for my child’s development. I initially planned to go with a nursery, but my first choice was full so I chose Kelie. And thank God I did. The love and care my son receives, even just at collection time, is second to none and plain to see.

He absolutely loves his daily outings to soft play, parks, and playgroups, where Kelie meets with other local childminders so the children can interact and build social skills. I’ve seen so much development in him, and I truly believe the one on one attention he gets from Kelie has played a huge part in that.

I couldn’t recommend her highly enough and feel so grateful to have her in my son’s life.

Our Wonderful Childminder!

I feel so incredibly lucky to have found Kelie. She has been looking after my son since he was just 7 months old, and I can honestly say she’s been nothing short of amazing. The care, love, and attention she provides go far beyond what I could have ever hoped for.

Under her guidance, my son has developed well beyond his years — from his learning and manners to his understanding of his own cultural background and that of others. Kelie also makes him feel truly valued, heard, and welcomed every single day. She encourages an awareness and appreciation of the wider world, helping him grow into a kind, curious, and confident little person.

Kelie and the children don’t just learn indoors — they explore the world around them, getting out locally to discover new experiences and build a real sense of well-rounded character.

Every time I collect my son, he doesn’t want to leave — and that alone speaks volumes about how happy and secure he feels in her care. Kelie goes above and beyond every single day, and I am endlessly grateful for the nurturing environment she provides.

I couldn’t recommend her highly enough — she’s an absolute gem, and we’re so thankful to have her in our lives.

God Send!

Kelie has looked after my 2, who are now 3 and 5, for the past 2 years. She is an absolute God-send and the kids love her. They are always bursting with stories of their adventures, and learn new things all the time, in a fun, but still disciplined way. I often get compliments on how well behaved my children are, and I think Kelie is a key part of this. She is also very supportive of helping to teach our Irish culture and Christianity to our children, which you wouldn't get anywhere else. I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending Kelie as a childminder to anyone. She is friendly, flexible and trustworthy, and an all- round lovely person :-)

Outstanding care

My daughter will be leaving kelie’s care this week due to relocating to Somerset. I can not thank kelie enough for the absolutely outstanding education & childcare she has provided for our daughter. My daughter has previously attended another nursery and another childminder’s setting of which I was not fully satisfied with, until we found kelie. Kelie has always been super understanding, supportive and flexible to help fit ours and our daughters needs. My daughter comes home everyday telling me of all her adventures, meeting new friends, forest school, play groups, soft play, zoo visits, painting, drawing, role play, Easter egg hunts, the nutritious food provided, days at the park etc. I found my daughter had come on exceptionally well whilst being in kelies care in regards to counting, the alphabet, nursery rhymes and the importance of sharing along with many other things. Kelie often provides pictures of the activities the children partake in and they often come home with the art they have created which I have always appreciated as those memories as irreplaceable. We are extremely sad to be leaving the area and are finding it exceptionally difficult to find someone who we think can provide the great care that kelie did! If you are looking for a fun, caring, educational and supportive environment I honestly could not recommend kelie enough! Thank you for everything! 5 stars!

Invaluable Childminder

Kelie is an invaluable childminder and was a real credit and addition to our family. Living in London with not much family support Kelie became that support even when I was in labour with my second child. Not only did she care for and nurture our children she also supported their development though play ensuring that all their next steps and milestones were met. Kelie always made sure that the children got out and explored the local area and would plan activities to meet their learning and development goals. My children were always happy to go to Kelies and have really missed her since starting school. I can't recommend her highly enough.

excellent Chilminder

Kelie has looked after our daughter Zoé for 1 year and half.
Our daughter was always super happy to got to see Kelie ,she always helped and encouraged our daughter. Zoé made a lot of very interesting and different activities with Kelie, she was always happy and enthusiastic and we can see all progress she made and how more confident and blooming she is now.
She was like a part of Kelie’s family.
We are really sad to leave her, as we are moving to Canada.
I do warmly recommande Kelie if you are looking for a really good Childminder.

A home away from home

Kelie has cared for and guided my boys through all of their Early years and foundation stage learning. She has looked after both our boys since they were 1 year old. Our eldest is nearly 5 and youngest is nearly 3. They are both cared for as if they were her own children and they completely love the activities she plans. Kelie is extremely caring, patient and experienced. She supports us as parents alongside caring for our boys. We are very fortunate to have her as a childminder.

Excellent Childminder

Kelie has looked after my son since he was a year old. She has always made sure that he is happy and comfortable; going out of her way to ensure that he feels secure.
Kelie strikes an excellent balance with Jack; she is firm when required but always fills his days with different activities at play groups. Jack is a really sociable boy and I credit Kellie with helping his social skills to thrive; she keeps him occupied and ensures that his energy is well channelled.
I really trust that Jack is in safe hands and he is always happy and smiling when I drop him off in the morning.

Brilliant childminder

Mind my english,I am french !
After 3 months in a nursery our daughter (then 9 months now 19 ) started with Kelie and it was by far the best decision ever! Kelie does lots of activities with the children, not just to keep them busy and happy but her main goal is to make sure they learn and develop themselves while having fun.
She also makes sure the child routine is in place, that they get the correct amount of sleep and feel confortable at any time .
It is simple : my daughter barely says goodbye when I leave her with Kelie in the morning, and it is always difficult in the evening to get her in the pram because she loves Kelie, she loves her children, she loves being part of the family !
As explained we are french so our daughter speaks french with us, to make sure she will understand her and that in return our little one will learn english the best way too Kelie bought french/english books, is counting in french and english etc. That's how Kelie is, she truly cares for the children, she loves them and will always go the extra mile for them. Don't think twice, she is the best !
