I was so nervous to leave my daughter (10 months old) and return to work part time, but Kirsty really helped ease my concerns. She was patient with me and my partner as we took time deciding who was our preferred childminder and allowed us to meet as often as we needed to feel comfortable. Our daughter has never cried being left at Kirsty’s and always seems very happy to go to her, and the range of activities Kirsty does with her is brilliant - a lovely mix of being outside the house on trips and inside doing crafts and sensory etc. I now view our daughters day at Kirsty’s as a genuinely exciting adventure for her, as opposed to simply just somewhere to leave her when I absolutely have to. I love getting Kirsty’s photos and updates of my daughter throughout the day; they are very detailed and really paint a picture of what she’s been up to - they are lovely to read
