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!
