Kelly is genuinely the best childminder one can have,my daughter Tuidi loves her to bits. To say she is comfortable at Kelly’s is an understatement, to even go as far as saying to me she loves Kelly’s roast dinners more than mine 😂😂. She’s been at Kelly’s since she was 2yrs old and at school now and still not changed her attitude towards going there. Loves both Summer and Tyler. And always talk about Simon. As I don’t have a dog I was worried how she would be at Kelly’s,but Kato is the sweetest,loving dog and my little one is obsessed. What sets Kelly apart…..she’ll go above and beyond her normal responsibilities to a point that I trust her with my daughter’s life when she’s in her care(and that honesty)
So if you’re looking for someone that truly loves what she does and cares about children….look no further xx

Kelly has looked after both my Son (R) and Daughter (H) and I really couldn't have asked for a better person to be there for them whilst I work. Kelly and her family are very welcoming and really have become a second family to us all!
H has been with Kelly fulltime, for around 5 years and in this time, H has become an additional child in the 'Kelly' family, which is exactly the person we wanted looking after her. It was a big aim to find someone who would treat her as she would her own child and accept her for all her quirks - good and bad! Kelly has helped H to become the little lady she is today and I've loved knowing that she is safe and well being with Kelly. Kelly has her own children who are very welcoming to others and they have enjoyed getting to know H and have become really good friends, a friendship that will continue going forward.
H has loved her time with Kelly, doing lots of fun activities and exploring the local community and I for one have loved hearing all the tales of the adventures they have been on.
Kelly provides a safe and secure environment and is very conscious of the children she has. Her safeguarding is second to none and she is happy to share information to help me keep H safe at home also.
Now H is that little bit older, we have had to say goodbye to Kelly and I can only say there were lots of tears - and additional visits to pop by and say Hi!
Kelly has also been a great support to me, helping me through the trials and tribulations of having an almost teenager girl - knowing someone who is going through a similar situation has helped! I've loved having a confidant who really has turned into a good friend, to go over the day and put it into perspective.
I honestly could not have asked for someone better to look after my children - she has become their second mum! If you are after someone who will treat your child as their own, help them to explore new adventures, spend time in the outdoors and generally be a second mum, then Kelly is your lady! Hands down the best Childminder we've ever known. Thank you Kelly!

I’d visited a few other childminders and then a friend recommended Kelly, as soon as I’d visited Kelly’s home and spent time with her on our first meeting I knew I would be placing my son with Kelly.
Kelly looked after our son for three years from him just turning one until he started school at four. Initially it was for three days during term time but soon increased to five days as well as the odd evening and some school holidays. Kelly has also looked after our daughter after school and during school holidays. Kelly was very flexible when needed.
My son loved being with Kelly, still talks of missing being with her now even though he’s been at school for a year now.
Both of my children enjoyed their time at Kelly’s and always wanted to stay longer when I came to pick them up!
I always had a full report at the end of each day of what my son had been up-to and what he’d eaten etc.
Kelly is an extremely kind and approachable person, I felt that she really listened to me as a parent and she genuinely cares for every child she looks after, she is committed to each and every one of them. She is wonderful!
Kelly is fantastic and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Kelly was recommended to us by another childminder who had no vacancies at the time.
Kelly looks after our son aged 7 after school 2 days per week (3-6pm), soon to be 3 and provides tea. In the past Kelly has also looked after our eldest son until he went to senior school.
Our children felt comfortable in her home as soon as they started with her, she was welcoming and provides a warm and caring ‘home from home’ environment for them whilst we are at work.
A variety of age related toys and activities are available for all of the children in her care. My son’s particularly enjoy playing pool and in the garden. They also fondly speak of playing games and writing stories at the table before or after dinner.
Kelly listens to the children in her care, encouraging mutual respect for her, her family and others in her care answering their questions and allaying any worries and woes that can surface after a day at school!
She is committed to her work, extremely organised at school drop off and pick up as witnessed when we do the school runs. Kelly is a kind and approachable person and we can not recommend her highly enough.

My daughter has been with Kelly since she was 10 months old. She is now starting school in September! Kelly provides a loving, homely setting which my daughter loves. Kelly has been so accommodating with my daughters needs and I was anxious in the early days as I hadn't left her before but Kelly always made sure she was happy and often sent photos to reassure me. Kelly greets us everyday with a smile, no matter what is going on in her own life. The children Kelly cares for clearly come first and her happy, bubbly and caring personality shines out. Over the years Kelly has been extremely flexible with changes in my jobs and hours and therefore childcare requirements. With the usual ups and downs and stresses of life, Kelly has been a wonderful constant in our lives.

I was in Cheltenham with work for a ten week period from mid April. I had my 15 month old son with me. id contacted Kelly and asked about flexible care for my son. id never left him with a child minder before and he hasn't yet started nursery.
Kelly is fantastic! I cannot say anything other. she took exception care of my son and made it so easy for me to leave him. He clearly adored her and ran to her after a few sessions. Kelly is extremely attentive and caring and clearly enjoys her job. her house is filled with toys and must be a child's dream! she fed my son very well and made sure his days were filled with fun and activities. Kelly also proved extremely flexible and was happy to change days or hours at short notice!
highly recommended. a wonderful person and fantastic experience.

When searching for childcare we visited 5-6 places and we had someone in mind right up until visiting Kelly. A lovely relaxing home environment with a genuine family feel - we knew within 10 minutes we had found our childminder. Harry was 18 months old when he first started going and hadn't really been apart from me so I thought this was going to be quite a change for him. Kelly's caring nature had meant Harry had settled in so quickly and we bypassed the tears / tantrums. You know you have made the right decision when your child cries on the weekend when you suggest "mummy and daddy day"
Harry remained a part of Kelly's childcare family right up until he started school and I can honestly say we never worried about him in her care nor do we have any complaints. Kelly was extremely accommodating with everything and last minute changes never phased her. She kept us very informed on how he was getting on and was lovely to see his progress week on week.
It was a very sad day to say goodbye when we had to last year but I have a funny feeling that when baby 2 is ripe enough we will be back !
Thank you for a wonderful 3 years of no hassle, ease and comfort

Kelly has been our knight in shining armour, she provides my son with a loving, caring environment that he absoultly LOVES.
we honestly dont give our son a second thought while at work (in the nicest possible way) as kelly has a nature that we trust.
Kelly is very proffesionally and absoultly lovely with it. Very easy to talk to and treats my son as an individual. she has adapted to his needs with no fuss at all. I honestly could not recommend this lady enough, and it speaks volumes when i say "when i have another baby, kelly will be the only person i will contact for childcare"
