Kelly's Reviews

5 Stars

Kelly has been looking after our daughter Tessa since she was just nine months old. We could not be happier or more grateful that we found such a special home from home for her. Kelly and her family organise wonderful weeks of activities with daily outings to museums, libraries, playgroups, music sessions. These kids have the BEST time. Kelly's experience and brilliance in education really shines through the kids too. They curious, and excited by learning, buzzing with stories and new achievements when they come home. It has been truly magic to witness Tessa's confidence grow under Kelly's care - from interacting with other children, to proudly reciting her ABCs. Kelly has created an atmosphere in which the kids really look out for each other. And she's been a huge support to us as first-time parents trying to figure things out. I could not recommend her highly enough.

Thank you for your review Eliza. Tessa is an absolute joy to care for! 🥰

Great childminders

Our 1 year old Guy has been with Carol and Kelly for several weeks now. We are thrilled with his experience. He settled in quickly, but he is clearly excited to see them every day.

They have him in a great routine (its actually better than when he was just with me, he eats and sleeps well and really enjoys all the activities. When he comes home, he has usually learned something new- clapping etc.

The daily communication is also great. I have a clear idea of what has been going on throughout the day!

We are so pleased (and relieved) we found them!

We love looking after Guy!

Great childminder for our 6 month baby

Carol and Kelly looked after our baby boy for a month and a half, just as I was starting work again and before we move out of London.

He was almost 6 months old when he started. He settled in very quickly even tough he had never been looked after by someone else before (due to lockdown he had not really left us for the first 6 months). Even though he had only started doing naps during the day shortly before, he kept doing them at Carol and Kelly.

Carol sent us regular update through the day and it was great to see how he developped in that time. The daily notes we got at the end of the day really helped us knowing how the day went, when he slept, what he ate...
Even though it's only been for a limited period, we've been very happy for him to have been looked after by Carol and Kelly. Louis was always so smiliing and happy when we dropped him off or picked him up.

Thank you Coralie for your great review.
It was a pleasure to care for little Louis!

Wonderful childminders!

We couldn’t be happier that we found Carol. My son settled in incredibly quickly - a true testament to the loving environment Carol and Kelly provide. They are great communicators, sending pictures of his progress and recording daily activities in a diary. It’s so nice to read through these. In a short space of time we’ve seen developments in our sons ability which is definitely down to the attention and guidance they provide. As well as providing a homely environment, my son gets to go on trips out to the library, park and children’s centres - just as we would have done when I was on maternity leave. It’s a great start to childcare and we couldn’t recommend them enough!
