My Summary
About Me
Thank you for looking at my profile. My name is Kirsten and I am a registered childminder. I have 3 children who are 21,17 and 14. I have been childminding for 10 years. I live on the Ise lodge estate in Kettering. I provide a home from home environment. I have many years childcare experience from being a Nanny before having my own children to now being a childminder. I love looking after children and helping them to reach their full potential by providing a wide range of activities and toys for there age and stage of developement and encourage independence and self esteem. I enjoy going out to toddler groups and parks with the children and meeting up with other childminders so the children can mix with other children encouraging their confidence and social skills.

Kirsten has been our childminder for both our children over the last 7 years. She has nurtured our children supporting their development throughout and has provided such a lovely home from home environment. The children love Kirsten and we feel that she is a huge part of our family. We shall miss her when my youngest starts school shortly. I would absolutely recommend Kirsten and so too would my children. They love her. Kirsten is very organised, and extremly flexible when I've needed help. She is keen to encourage children to socialise and to get outdoors and participates in lovely local activities and adventures with them. Happy to to provide more detail should you have any questions.

Kirsten looked after my son from 4months old until he started school and he was so happy in her care. Kirsten very quickly built a fantastic relationship with us as parents and if ever the need arose could be felixible with a change in any circumstances we might have faced. Our son still absolutely adores her and thrived during his time there. I would highly recommend her.
