Kelly has been looking after my daughter since September 2025. During that time the amount my daughter has developed in respect of fine motor skills and her language has been phenomenal.
My daughter is my third child and I did not think my experience with my previous childminder could be beaten. But Kelly has been so incredibly flexible and understanding. At points I have had work commitments or family matters that meant I have needed to change my daughter's hours quite last minute. Kelly has always been so amenable and understanding.
I have also been so impressed with Kelly's communication. Everyday Kelly sends me multiple photos of what my daughter has been doing and Kelly is always changing the activities and toys.
I have had family members comment on how advanced they think my daughter is in respect of her language and fine motor skills and I think that is in no small part due to the stimulation that Kelly offers.
An added benefit for me is that Kelly has pets. My daughter has just turned 2 but often comes home talking about Kelly's cat and she just loves animals so I think that has been a real bonus.
I joke with my husband that we need to have a fourth just to keep Kelly in business!

I moved to the Uk from South Africa, i needed a child minder in rather short notice and took a leap of faith with Kelly. On day 1, my child didnt even blink to say goodbye to me, she was quite happy to be with Kelly without knowing her, my daughter is 3.
kelly has dogs, but keeps them so responsibly, they are not around the kids at all and separated by gate. so dont let this factor put you off, there is no risk at all.
My daughter quickly adapted to UK living just by being with Kelly. every morning she was so excited to go see kelly. She looked after my daughter full time from 7:30 to 17:30. and they had really amazing days together. every week they did story time and the library, they went to the park often, and did farm animal visits. she really had a full life with Kelly. Kelly is very patient, and no neurotic. she allows kids to be kids in a safe environment with loads of educational entertainment.
I like kelly so much that i still see her after my daughter has started with nursary. and i will be making use of her services again when she starts her other Nursery in september.
My daughter ALWAYS speaks about kelly and wants to go there every day.
Kelly comes highly recommended, you are missing out if you arent using kelly :)

Kelly has been looking after my son full time for the last 18 months since he was 18 months old. He very quickly warmed to her and she creates a true home from home environment for him, with so many activities that he has a better social life than me! My son has come on leaps and bounds under her caring and nurturing charge, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kelly!
