First impression with Kirsty was amazing. When we visited her house to see where she does childminding, we found her to be very calm and friendly. Her place looks amazing. She provided us with all the necessary information to help us make a decision. She was very empathetic to the fact that this’s new for us. We appreciated her patient with us. When we ready she will be our first choice if she has availability.

Absolutely Fabulous

5 stars

My little girl adores Kirsty, been with her for about 8 months now. Kirsty is great, very helpful and friendly. My little girls get very excited when we arrive, she used to be very clingy but has really come out of herself, it's lovely seeing the progress she has made since being with Kirsty. Kirsty has a lot of great activities set up and always going on outings. I would highly recommend Kirsty, an excellent child minder!

Part of the Family

5 stars

We have used Kirsty for the last 4 yrs, first with our eldest who still looks forward to going back and now with our youngest. Kirsty is an incredible childminder. The care and attention she provides for our children is excellent .

Beyond the care, is the fun and the learning. Everyday they do something exciting and educational, through crafts and painting and more. As well as the trips to local clubs and farther afield.

We couldn’t recommend Kirsty enough or as our kids say, ‘My Kirsty’

Professional, caring, thoughtful and fun!

5 stars

Kirsty gave our two girls the most wonderful start during the two years they attended her setting. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Every day there were different , age appoprate learning activities and themed weeks to add to the fun. She took them on educational outings, to parks as well as endless activities in her lovely home setting.
I really appreciated the constant updates we had throughout the day helping us settle in quickly and all feel comfortable.
Our girls recently started school and the adjustment has been made easier due to the wonderful start they had at Kirstys.

Wonderful

Kirsty stepped in last minute for our childminder when she wasn’t very well.

Our little boy regularly meets up with Kirsty and the other children she looks after, with out childminder. They always have the best time .

I would highly recommend Kirsty

unprofessional and non inclusive

1 stars

Beware of her. She wasted our time and declined to continue after settling in period saying I cannot care for your child as other children routine is priority. She keeps changing her story. She wanted to put our child to sleep out of the half day he was going to attend.

Response by Avatar for Kirsty Kirsty on 05/10/2022:

Unfortunately I totally disagree with this review. The parent didn't fill in the paper work or turn up to appointments so that we did not have a discussion on parent expectations . The parent wanted me to do one to one with her child on her terms and did not want her young child to sleep. I did not want to take her child on these terms and he did not gel as well as I hoped with my other children. No money was paid so I decided to terminate which under the terms of the unsigned contract could do. She also consequently contacted all my current parents with whom I have excellent relationships with in an attempt to tell them her version of events . I there fore dispute this and ask you read the reviews on me and my ofsted report .Kirsty
