Kellys K's Reviews

One in a Million!

Kelly has been caring for my 2 sons for nearly two years now and I have no hesitation in recommending her. Kelly is extremely kind, caring and loving and always has the children's best interests in mind. Our son's think of Kelly as their 2nd Mum and quite often say that they wish Kelly was part of our family.

My husband and I trust Kelly 100% with the safety and welfare of our children. Kelly involves all the children no matter what age to participate in activities and tasks for example: helping to tidy toys away and setting table ready for snack time. Kelly really promotes independence and boosts confidence in all the children and this is really noticable when all the children are playing together, Kelly teaches good values and all the children look out for one another, take turns and have outstanding manners.

Kelly goes the extra mile when organising activities, I've never known a childminder like her. My son's have been to Wales, Southport, Stockley Farm to name but a few places on days out and Kelly will always share all the special photographs taken on the days out so we feel like we are not missing out.

Kelly is flexible, accommodating and will help you out in times of need. Kelly is regarded as one of the best childminders in the area and is well known to community figures as she supports a lot of groups and activities that our local community run.

Kelly will always greet you with a smile and is always genuinely excited to tell you what your child has been doing throughout the day. She keeps upto date with the early years curriculum and is always doing courses on her days off. When you meet Kelly, it will be clear to you straight away that she is passionate about her job and you only have to look at the children's faces when they are with her to see how happy they all are!!

Fantastic Childminder

Kelly has been my child-minder for many years I had before Kelly used nursery’s and didn’t feel totally happy with the care both my children had until I moved them to Kelly’s.

Kelly is very professional in all areas of her business you are able to keep a business and friendship relationship. This I feel is due to Kelly’s honesty.
Kelly is very supportive towards the children and has the ability to be able to develop close caring relationship towards the children in her care, my children still speak to Kelly when they see her and wish we had time to see Kelly more often.

Kelly is very well organised, her planning is excellent. She has activities planned for the children that they all enjoy helping them develop. Kelly has helped my children starting with their pre-school learning to home work as they got older. My daughter is now 11 and still talks about the trips she has been on with Kelly as she had so much fun.
I do recommend Kelly to anyone looking for child care, in total Kelly looked after my children for 10 years and I can’t think of any one better.

Perfect

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!

Home from home

Kelly has looked after Charlotte since she was 6 months old and we have been extremely happy with the care she provides. We chose Kelly even though she is not our closest childcare provider because the minute we walked in on our first visit we loved the home-like atmosphere she creates for the children. Charlotte has learned to play with other children of all ages, and loves going to Kelly's and to all the activities she organises so much that she has never cried once when I've left her! We particularly like the way Kelly encourages all the children to play together despite their different ages so they learn from each other and become very confident. I'd also echo what other parents have said about how flexible Kelly is to suit individual needs and can't recommend her highly enough.

Recommendation

Kelly has cared for my son since she first started her business, and provided pre and after school care for my daughter.

Kelly offers a very special and professional service, she is very caring and has a great pride in the service she offers. Kelly has provided great flexibility when this is required.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Kelly to you if you are looking for childcare in Sandbach.

My daughter now 16 still keeps in touch with Kelly which clearly demonstrates the quality of relationships she builds with the children.

Thanks so much Jayne! Matty & Rach have become like my extended family over the years and when Matty leaves to go to high school in September my door will still always be open! X

My daughters 2nd Mum!

Kelly has looked after my daughter since she was very small - before her first birthday! At first she cared for her at Lilliput Farm nursery, then she set up on her own & we were among her first customers! Emily is now due to start high school in September, so she has been with Kelly for 10 years. I have never, ever had an issue with Kelly's care. She is the busiest childminder I know! During school holidays she plans days out which are fun as well as educational. She does her level best to support the role of a busy Mum, by working out ways of getting your child to brownies/swimming/after school clubs etc when you can't be there yourself. Emily has been so happy going to Kelly's after school & during the holidays - she really has been the support I needed whilst Em was small without family living close by. Kelly cares for each and every one of the children she looks after in a way which is loving & very professional. I have recommended her to friends & would give her name to anyone needing some childcare support. A true professional! Thank you Kelly.
