Kelly childminded my daughter for a 2 month period Feb-April 2014. If I hadn't stopped working in the day, she would still be there. The experience for me and her from first contact with Kelly, from sharing and completing paperwork, to settling in sessions and the subsequent time she spent with her were expedient, efficient, professional, reassuring and enjoyable.

Her home is warm and welcoming and my daughter was at ease in these surroundings, immediately helping herself to toys the first time we went there, forgetting her Mum was in the same room! She settled really well with Kelly and the other children from the first day, enjoying safe play in the home and garden, the library, the park, river walks, toddler groups and activities at a garden centre in the half-term. Meal and nap times were maintained by Kelly. Each day was well documented in a journal. It is clear Kelly has a natural way with children as well as being an experienced Mum and a professional background in a childcare setting.

To conclude, I highly recommend Kelly as a childminder. My daughter loved her time with her. I will look up Kelly in the future as my first choice if I return to work during the day.
