About Me

I am an ofsted registered childminder, living in Woodstreet village, Guildford.  I offer term time only home from home care.  I am fully committed to ensuring your child is happy and thriving in a safe and nurturing environment.


I have a wide range of resources to suit varying ages and to meet all areas of the EYFS framework, these are freely accessible to the children to promote independence and self confidence.  I have a wide range of books and really enjoy engaging children in listening and responding to stories.


I also plan a variety of different activities to meet their different learning needs, ensuring I am aware of their progress and planning for their individual next steps.


I have a well equipped garden, with a wide range of play equipment including a sandpit and slide.  I live next door to a large wooded area, so we spend lots of time exploring, jumping in puddles and enjoying nature walks.  We also visit local parks, play groups and Elm Nursery (a local farm).


I believe communication is key to ensuring your child is settled and making good progress.  You obviously know your child best, so I’m keen to listen to how you think I can best support your child while they're in my care.   I always give feedback at pick up about how your child's day has been and I share photos and comments to give you a fuller picture of their day and the learning they’ve been involved in.   

My Experience

I have been childminding since 2022, caring for children aged between 10 months and 4 years. I have 3 of my own children aged 3, 8 and 11.

I previously worked as a teacher so have experience with planning and monitoring children's educational progress.

Below are the latest reviews for Kelly. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.

Our daughter has been with Kelly for over six months and I knew from our initial meeting that she would thrive in Kelly’s care.

Kelly’s family home is warm and inviting and the environment both inside and outside is set up to nurture curiosity and play. Each day, Kelly plans either an exciting activity or visit and around this our daughter often plays outside in the woods, splashing in puddles, watching trains and visiting the ducks!

Kelly is kind, communicative, thoughtful and fun and I have always felt nothing but full confidence in leaving my little one with her. My little one talks of Kelly very fondly and I cannot recommend her more highly to other parents.
