My Summary
About Me
My name is Kelly and I am 37 years old. I am a single mum to 3 daughters who are currently 18, 17 and 14. In my household I have 2 dogs.
I have been registered with Ofsted since June 2019.
My Experience
Apart from being a mum for the last 16 years I have worked in a school for the last 7 years. My experience is mainly in nursery, foundation stage and ks1 but have also worked in ks2 on occasions. I have worked with a range of children this includes small groups, larger groups and children who are identified as SEN. I have a good knowledge of the phonics programme RWI that is taught in most schools and offer help with maths and literacy work for those ages. I have helped run an after school cooking class and the girls football team for the last 2 years.
Working in the school I have loved watching and helping the children to learn and grow and will continue to do so for the children in my care.
My Qualifications
I have a NVQ Level 2 in Children's care, Learning and Development and also a Level 3 Diploma for the Children and Young Peoples Workforce. I have done various courses in my time working in the school (most have now expired) and intend on doing lots more to help improve my knowledge and professional development in this area.
My Availability
I am available from 7:30am to 6pm monday-friday.
At the moment I have a few spaces available from September 2019 this can be day care, after school care or holidays only. Please feel free to enquire. If school drop off/pick up is needed then I may be able to help.

I have been using Kelly for a couple of years now for both of my kids. Always hard leaving your kids with someone but with Kelly her passion and love for her job is very easy to see and makes it so easy to know your kids are in great hands. Kelly has helped my kids progress so much at a young age they are always learning or having some sort of fun. They both love being there and that’s all you want for your kids to be happy. So if you are looking I very highly recommend

I can't say enough about Kelly. We love her so much that we've been with her for years. She is like an angel. She is warm, friendly, fun, cares so much about the children in her charge and is so down to earth and lovely. She is a wonder and an awe, and I adore her. She's been so flexible and understanding to the ups and downs of parenting and schedules and how things can chop and change in life. But most importantly my son ADORES her. He has nothing but fond memories of being with her full time, so much so that when he started reception he kept talking about her and even said during the school year how much he missed her and couldn't wait to see her over summer. When we brought him back for childcare over the summer holidays he said HELLO KELLY and marched right in her lovely, homie, house as if no time had passed. That speaks volumes about how comfortable and happy he feels there. Kelly's daughters are lovely girls and a credit to her, her pups are adorable and well behaved and my son loves seeing them (as do I). Kelly is very communicative and shares messages and pictures throughout the day. My son always comes home knackered from outtings and playing, well fed and happy. She also helped prepare him for school by teaching him how to hold a pen correctly and started teaching him to write, so much so that he could write his own name. I could go on and on about all the wonderful things she's done, but please just trust me and look no further. This is your gal!

Kelly has been excellent throughout this ordeal she has kept in contact with me and my son checking in with us that we have been keeping safe, she has kept his space open while I have been furloughed. she even sent him a little goodie bag to make pizza as I had not made it as good has Kelly had, my sons word. He loves going to kelly and seeing her family and dogs... I CAN NOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH...
