My Summary
About Me
Funded children excepted.
Just had my Ofsted inspection July 2022, rated Good.
"Children thrive in the calm, caring homely environment. They quickly build strong bonds with the childminder, who is responsive to their individual needs and interests."
Experienced childminder of 16 years. I live with my husband our 2 sons, aged 20 and 16 at our home in Lower Morden, by Hatfeild primary school.
I provide a loving home from home service, where children are treated as one of the family. I have a large garden and also frequently take the children out to playgroups and parks etc.
My Experience
Please see attached documents for references and parents comments.
I have cared for various children in addition to my own from young babies to after school (older) children. I love teaching new experiences to the children and seeing them grow from it.
I take the children to various playgroups, parks (love an explore in the woods) and farms, museums etc.and I have a good network with other local childminders. On our days out we are often a group of 3 or 4 minders and 10+ children of varying ages. I think this helps with children's social skills as well as having extra hands for when different age groups want to do different activities or practical things such as toilet trips.
I have recently had an extension on my home so now have a play room. children are not restricted to this though. I have a good selection of toys which I regularly rotate and a large garden which has a slide, ride-ons, sand and water play.

I just want to say a massive thank you to Keeley for looking after my Kiki so well. Kiki has grown so such since going to Keeley especially her social and interactive skills. Keeley always had activities planned to keep Kiki and the other children entertained and educated, and I especially thoroughly enjoyed receiving Kiki's artwork. I will highly recommend her for anyone looking for a five star child minding service. Thank you Keeley for simply being the best 😊
Overall
Our son has been with keeley sparkes for over 2yrs and we have been more than happy with the care she has provided. He has progressed and developed amazingly well with her, and Thoroughly enjoyed himself along the way. I get daily reports from my son about what they have done that day, for example going to the beach, park, farm, softplay, playgroup and doing activities such as painting, drawing, sticking, waterplay, singing etc.
We have felt very reassured and happy that our son is safe in keeley's care, and would absolutely recommend her to provide childcare for any child.

Keeley has looked after my children for more than 3 years now, initially full time and now after school. She is a wonderful natured, caring and professional childminder who has created an environment that my children class as a second home. She takes them out as much as possible allowing them to explore the local areas and when indoors they spend time doing arts and crafts. I would highly recommend Keeley and if I were to have another child I would not hesitate to use her again.
