Kiely used to childmind my children, she looked after my son Jacob ( 18 months), daughter Phoebe ( 3 years ) and Amy (5 years ) since August 2005.
I was extremely happy with the care they received, and the great progress they made whilst in Kiely’s care. Kiely's home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and my children had great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though, it is Kiely's warm and friendly but no nonsense approach which sets her apart from other childminders we have experienced.
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. My children enjoyed sand and water play, drawing and sticking, reading and puzzles as well as outings to the park, trips to feed the ducks and walks to the park.
Kiely is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining childrens confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home. When my children were hurt or feeling under the weather I know that they felt very happy and safe to be comforted by her and I am confident that she can administer either first aid or medication following all the correct procedures and completing the necessary records to ensure his health and safety.
Our son Jacob has severe asthma and allergies that are anaphylactic, he needs inhalers, epi pens and antihistamine near him at all times, I had 100% confidence in Kiely with this extra responsibility and she always recognised when he needed his inhaler and communicated with me at all times.
I am also aware that Kiely ensures good personal hygiene in encouraging all the children to wash their hands before eating and after using the toilet. I’m sure that it is this practice together with the cleanliness of Kiely’s home which ensured that my children remained healthy and bug free for their time there and there was no accidents with Jakes life threatening allergies.
All in all I was thoroughly happy with the level of care my children received and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment helped my children develop into confident and happy children.
I would absolutely recommend Kiely as a great and reliable childminder.
