Our twin daughters started with Kelley when they were 15 months old. Being pandemic babies they struggled with separation anxiety at first but Kelley went above and beyond to help them settle in with her and sent regular updates initially to reassure us that they were always calm and happily playing shortly after leaving them. Within no time the tears at drop-off stopped and they were excited to go through the door each day. They’ve been going to her 3 days a week for over a year now and absolutely love it. They weren’t walking or talking when they started and now they run through the gate, knocking on the door over and over excited to get inside and play, and confidently tell me all about their day on the way home. Spending their day with other children of different ages has been fantastic for their social and communication development. I know they enjoy their days with Kelley and the other children she looks after, and we never have to worry for a second whether they’re okay. I love the reports and photos we get from each day too, being a twin mum keeping on top of routine and knowing how well they’ve ate or slept that day is really important to me - helps me prepare for whether one of them might need early bedtime for example. Kelley also has so much experience it’s great to be able to ask her opinion or for tips with how much they should be eating, when to be potty training, or dropping naps etc. She takes wonderful care of our girls, gives them a mix of her experiences, is flexible if we need to do an early drop off now and again, reasonable with her rates, and gives plenty of notice if she’s got to take a day off or taking a holiday (which doesn’t seem to be very often!) I’m so glad we found Kelley to look after our girls, and highly recommend her!
