Kellie was brilliant looking after our baby for the day during a wedding. He was in the midst of a sleep regression and it was his first time away from myself or his dad, but she did a brilliant job settling him down. My boy also has a medical condition and she gave him all his medication as needed.
Would definitely recommend her. Thank you Kellie!

Kellie and Matt have been looking after my son for almost two years now. It’s a lovely home from home setting with plenty of activities, and mixed children of different ages. Archer attends once a week however he spends the rest of the week telling me fun stories about friends he has made and memories he has formed from his time spent there.
He has had the opportunity to visit a vast amount of lovely places such as Blenheim, cogges and the wildlife park, all of which he loves.
Archer has come on leaps and bounds since he started at Butterfly Childcare and we will be sad to be leaving soon when he starts pre school.
We couldn’t recommend them enough!

Kellie and Matt couldn't have been more kind and welcoming. My son is a very happy giggly little boy and half of that is down to these lovley people doing such an amazing job being child minders. I always look forward to finding out that they have all been up 2 in the day. Going to parks, farms or even staying in dancing,singing. Whatever they get up to they make the most of the day having fun. I would highly recommend Kellie, it's like home from home environment and I couldn't be happier with the care they provide😊

My girls have been with Kellie an Matt since March and I was very nervous about moving from Scotland and finding a childminder that I could rely and trust.
I found Kellie by word of mouth and knowing she was very well sought after I messaged in the hope of getting a space, and I am so glad I did.
Both girls settled very quickly, the youngest being just under one and the elder 3yrs old.
McKenzie often comes home
Smiling and babbling about what she done that day from days out to baking and painting.
I’m sad to say that Kenzie moving into primary school will mean she’s no longer in Kellie’s care but Elise will stay and continue to enjoy her time with Kellie and Matt.

Going back to work after maternity leave was made an easier experience thanks to Kellie and Matt; I knew James was safe and happy.
James is a confident, socialised little boy and I believe alot of that is to do with the experiences Kellie and Matt provide for him; he goes to the farm, wildlife park, crocodile world to name a few!
The food provided for James is high quality, balanced and varied. I would happy recommend them to my family and friends without hesitation.

We can't say enough about Kellie and Matt - we contacted them with a very unique childcare situation and from the start, they were so helpful and kind.
We found Kellie's approach professional and welcoming with an attention to detail that we found profoundly reassuring. Over several emails and phone calls, Kellie made a beautiful impression taking time to find out more about our children and our family.
Our boys absolutely loved their time together and they were comfortable straight away. I would recommend Butterfly Childcare to anyone looking for a caring environment for their child. Thank you!

Kellie has been picking up our 4 year old from Edith Moorhouse School 3 days a week since the start of the school year. She provides our son with a fun and caring environment, and she's incredibly reliable. We'd be lost without her!

Kellie is fantastic with our son Noah, he loves going to her house each day and its brilliant to see the connection he has with her after only a few months. He also loves interacting with the other children.
We always look forward to reading his diary on the baby days system, they get up to so many different things.
Kellie makes us feel comfortable and secure - just want you need from a childminder!

It is always daunting choosing a child minder and imagining someone else looking after your little one, but as soon as I met Kellie I knew everything would be ok. And I was right! My son loves going to Kellie's and is always happy and excited as we approach her house in the mornings. It makes it so much easier doing the drop off in the morning knowing that he is happy and he always gets a big hug when we arrive! She takes him on trips to the farm parks, playground, feeding the ducks, play centres as well as lots of other things and I always get a summary of what he's been up to from the Baby Days website and photos of his day. I really wouldn't hesitate to recommend Butterfly Child Care to anyone.

We have been very impressed with the childcare provided by Kellie and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and consistent childminder. Our daughter has been extremely happy during the time she has spent with Kellie and the other children. She runs into the house every morning when dropped off and always comes home very happy.
Every day is full of fun, varied and stimulating activities. They have been on many trips out to the local parks, children's centre, library, Cogges, Blenheim Palace and the Wildlife park, just to name a few. Our daughter has been able to develop her speech and social skills whilst under Kellie's care. We would definitely choose Kellie again in the future.

I contacted Kellie for child care as needed one day over half
Term. My two children & I met with her a week before & immediately
We all felt very welcomed by Kellie, & most importantly both my children
Seemed very comfortable with Kellie & her home.
On the day the children settled very quickly & when I collected
Them they wanted to show me their drawings & chatted all the way home about their day.
I would highly recommend Kellie & would most defiantly use her child care
Again

I cant recommend butterfly childcare highly enough, Kellie is such a nice person and addy(aged 1) is collected every day in such a happy mood!! When In childcare she is alway kept busy going on trips out to the park and loads more activities.
She feeds our little girl very healthy and tasty food, addy enjoys kellie's food more then what we cook for her.
If you what professional, fun and 100% reliable childcare you need to contact Kellie.

Kellie is a warm and gentle child minder and my Son Tye who is now 6 months old i feel is well looked after and cared for without any doubts. Kellie also looks after my Daughter Seren who is 7 after school a few days a week and Seren enjoys going to Kellie's on a weekly basis and over the summer holidays.
I hear of all sorts of trips they go on and Kellie plans lots of activities which can involve different age groups.
I would 100% recommend Kellie to any parent looking for a reliable and caring childminder for their children.

Kellie looks after my little boy for 3 hours a week and he will be 2 in Aug. Even though he is only there for 3 hours she still manages to find exciting new things for him and when we arrive he walks into her house with no encouragement and a big smile. I feel happy and confident leaving him with Kellie.

Can't recommend Kellie enough - my son really enjoys going to "Kellie's House", always has fun and can't stop talking about the things they do.
Kellie also looks after my school age daughter during the school holidays - she always asks if it "is a school holiday tomorrow and can I go to Kellie's house?".
My daughter has Coeliac disease and Kellie is very understanding about dietary requirements and making sure that my daughter doesn't feel left out.
