My son (now 6) had always attended a nursery but my daughter (now 4) never seamed to be settled both at nursery and home so I took the decision to place her with a childminder as I felt she might be better with more one to one attention. After looking at a few local childminders, I felt Kelly was the most suitable as her enthusiasm shone from day one. Within weeks my daughter had changed to become a happy, more settled 12 month old. Following a divorce I had to leave work and obviously end my childcare with Kelly but on returning back to work with a very strange and varied work patten, Kelly has always accommodated my odd hours and where possible for her, collected from various places, dropped off at various places and done extra when I needed to work over time. She now has my daughter around pre-school and me working and both my children during the school holidays and when my daughter starts school this September, I know she will miss the time at Kelly's but both my children will be looking forward to the school holiday activities Kelly ALWAYS puts effort into planning! Out of all the childminders I saw in my area, Kelly was by far the most accommodating and flexible allowing me to do just a few hours on days when I only work a few hours to half day and full day sessions. Extremely helpful and adaptable, always contactable and brilliant with all the children she cares for!! I would have no problem and haven't had in recommending her to anyone weather it be full time, part time or strange hours like mine!
