We have recently started leaving our Dinis with Kirsty.
Being nurses it’s very difficult to coordinate shifts and picking up/drop off times but Kirsty has been very accommodating and flexible.
Leaving our only child with someone else was meant to be a very difficult and anxious moment but as soon as we went to visit for the first time we felt a friendly, welcoming and assuring environment and we were confident that our little one would be in good hands.
Ever since he started we see how happy he is, how much he is capable of developing and we even receive pictures of activities and updates throughout the day!
It’s a really lovely setting and we are more than happy!

I was so nervous to send my little girl to someone’s house I didn’t really know but as soon as I met Kirsty she put my mind at ease. Her house is lovely with so much for the kids to do there, Kirsty is so friendly and her own children are so well behaved and polite. My little girl felt like she was part of the family. Kirsty would take her on day trips, do arts and crafts with her, do learning with her and help her where she was struggling. If I ever get a job where I need a child minder again she will definitely be going back!

Kirsty looks after and has looked after my children for about 2-3years on and off due to work.
Kirsty treats each child as if they were her own and that's what makes leaving my children with her like leaving them with my own family.
There is apsolutely no better feeling than leaving your children and not worrying even a little about them been sad or distressed.
My boys love Kirsty and are always excited to see her.
Kirsty will always try help in any way she can and that's what makes her so special and unlike any other childcare provider.
Thank you Kirsty ❤️

My son looks forward to going and doesn't want to leave as he is made to feel welcome and encouraged to join in different activities. Kirsty is a very helpful childcare provider willing to go the extra mile.

After visiting Kirsty first out of all the childcare providers she was by far the best, my little girl has only been on a few visits but she seems to have settled in already and I know she’s going to enjoy it. I 100% know that Kirsty will be the best with my little girl and help her

Kirsty is an amazing childminder.
My 3 year old son became comfortable straight away with her and her family.
Her children are an example to her and makes leaving your children with her the more easier.
It's one of the hardest things to ever do as a parent, to leave your child under the care of someone you may not of known for too long. But, i have never felt upset or guilty leaving them with kirsty. That to me is priceless.
Thanks kirsty.
