"You’ve got no right to judge, we’re still parents and that’s our baby that’s just been taken." Two of Kayleigh’s seven children moved into care after she was in a volatile relationship. They are among more than 107,000 children in care in the UK - a rise of 16% over 10 years.
Wales has seen an increase of 79% in 20 years, but one council is bucking the trend. In 2012, Neath Port Talbot (NPT) council in south Wales had more than 500 children in care - the highest rate in the country. Since then, it has halved the number of children in care and has one of the lowest rates in Wales, despite contacts to the team increasing by 53%.
BBC News has spent a year-and-half looking at what it is doing differently, speaking to an emergency social worker, families who have worked with social services and a 15-year-old girl who talks about her experience of being taken into care. As Kayleigh, 35, sits cuddling her baby on the sofa, it is difficult to picture her two eldest children going into care. She said it felt like her heart had been ripped out when they left.
"I honestly felt a darkness I’ve never felt before. It’s really, really hard. Ask any mother about having a child taken away, you don’t see the point in living," she said.
Teatime at Kayleigh's house in south Wales is a juggle, but also a well-oiled routine. When we visit, she is teaching her eldest daughter to make chicken fajitas while the others draw, read or play computer games. All of this happens while Kayle.
