My Summary
I Have Availability For Thursdays & Fridays
About Me
I live in the DN34 area near Franklin College.
I'm aged 43. I'm married, and we have two grown-up daughters. My husband works full time as a printer.
We have pets,we share our home with our cats and cocker spaniel puppy Mabel. The cats are mostly outside or upstairs and Mabel has her own space when children are here.Childrens well-being is always in mind with regard to our pets.
We are all non-smokers here, though smoking is not permitted in my home anyway.
My setting is very much a family home. Children are welcomed like family here. It's a small setting. I usually only have 3 young children here at once.
There are toys/ resources/ books for children to self select. Children learn through play and activities planned to further their development.
We use the lounge & playroom downstairs. The playroom opens out onto our outdoor space in our secure garden. I have outdoor toys and resources. We grow plants and vegetables with the children too.
I welcome pre-arranged visits where you can meet me and see our home ,view my training certificates, etc, and ask me anything you like before choosing your childcare.
Please feel welcome to contact me I am very flexible with visit times and don't mind weekends for visits.

Below are the latest reviews for Keely. 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.
We have been using Keely’s childminding service for almost 5 weeks now. We were very unsure about sending out little boy to a private childminder instead of a nursery, but we already feel like we’ve made the best decision by doing this. Harrison smiles every morning when we get to Keely’s front door, he absolutely loves going. Keely is procession, whilst being friendly and treating Harrison like one of her own. Harrison enjoys lots of different messy play activities at Keely’s house, but always comes home clean and presented as he was when I left him (this is something we found an issue in nurseries as Harrison would come home filthy). Keely updates me daily and is reassuring if I’m ever worried about my boy. We are so grateful for Keely being so accommodating and flexible for our childcare needs. I highly recommend Keely, she’s fab!
