I moved to the Uk from South Africa, i needed a child minder in rather short notice and took a leap of faith with Kelly. On day 1, my child didnt even blink to say goodbye to me, she was quite happy to be with Kelly without knowing her, my daughter is 3.
kelly has dogs, but keeps them so responsibly, they are not around the kids at all and separated by gate. so dont let this factor put you off, there is no risk at all.
My daughter quickly adapted to UK living just by being with Kelly. every morning she was so excited to go see kelly. She looked after my daughter full time from 7:30 to 17:30. and they had really amazing days together. every week they did story time and the library, they went to the park often, and did farm animal visits. she really had a full life with Kelly. Kelly is very patient, and no neurotic. she allows kids to be kids in a safe environment with loads of educational entertainment.
I like kelly so much that i still see her after my daughter has started with nursary. and i will be making use of her services again when she starts her other Nursery in september.
My daughter ALWAYS speaks about kelly and wants to go there every day.
Kelly comes highly recommended, you are missing out if you arent using kelly :)
