Kelly has been with our family as our childminder since my eldest was 10 months. She’s now 10, her brother is 7, and her sister is 4, they’ve all stayed with Kelly and the youngest finished with her in the summer.

I trust her implicitly and regard her as family. She does so much with them, such as arts, crafts, development things - she follows an early years curriculum, which I can honestly say I would never have done with the kids myself. They are enriched because of the activities she plans. They are all very socially capable too, it’s a great environment for them to be in and it builds their confidence. I always sing her praises, and two of my eldest’s teachers have gone on to place their children with her.

Kelly is great and I couldn’t haven’t done without her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
