My Summary
About Me
I m a loving, caring experienced childminder living Jacobs Well. I am fully committed to making your child happy and content in a safe secure environment.
My Experience
I am a Ofsted registered childminder and have been doing childminding since my first child was born and have varied experience with all ages of children - new born to teenage.
I offer a secure, safe, happy and caring environment for the children, who all grow and progress in all areas including close friendships within the group.
My home is secure with a large variety of resources and toys, with regular visits to play parks, Wisley, toddler groups, soft play, litttle street, to name a few and we love the outdoors, etc. All covering the Early Years Foundation requirements. I am still taking extra precautions/care, following all guidelines with Covid 19 to make sure you and your child are protected. I have experiences both privately and contractual in babysitting, worked with care needs in social services, school settings, in many other areas of childcare and ran my own nursery service for events when required.
My Qualifications
I am NVQ 3 qualified in Early Years Education and Childcare. I also have the normal school qualifications 4 Highers, 6 O grades and 2 SYS Certificates, which includes the governments requirements of Math's, English and Science for my work place. I also have first aid qualifications, child safe guarding certificates, and certificates for courses I have attended for childminding. I continually up date my qualifications and training as required for the early years sector. You are more than welcome to view all my certificates and registrations required for childminding via Ofsted and Surrey local authorities, along with all the copies of the Ofsted inspections I have taken over the years

My little one has been with Kirsty now for 5 months - starting his settling in period with her at 6 months old I was super nervous but Kirsty has been so supportive and extremely welcoming so Marley really loves his days with her and the other children. We had a first meeting with Kirsty and immediately loved that it wasn't an overwhelming environment for our baby in comparison to some other viewings we had. I can always count on her for advice with his routine and development which helps me hugely as a first time mum!

We had a wonderful experience with Kirsty! She was incredibly attentive and flexible, easily adjusting to our family's needs. Her calm and caring nature made our 4-month-old baby feel comfortable and happy, and knowing that our baby was in such caring and capable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time out. Highly recommend!

We are delighted to share our experience with the childcare provided by Kirsty. As parents, finding reliable and nurturing care for our son has been a top priority, and we couldn't be happier with the outstanding level of care and attention he has received. He has been at Kirsty's for over a year now and he loves going there.
Our son has seamlessly settled into Kirsty's setting, and it's clear that he genuinely enjoys the time spent with her and his friends.
The overall atmosphere created by Kirsty is warm and nurturing. It's evident that the caregiver's dedication goes beyond mere professionalism; there is a genuine passion for fostering the well-being and growth of the children in her care. Her home is always clean and tidy and she provides a great range of toys and activities. The children spend a lot of time outdoors and in her lovely garden, which was very important for us. He loves showing us new things he made at Kirsty's.
We cannot recommend Kirsty enough and are happy that our son will be with her for the foreseeable future.

We absolutely love Kirsty. She is flexible, has an incredible play setting and very much sees her work as a partnership with parents. We still can’t believe how lucky we got when we found her. Paige is only 12 months now but when we come to pick her up she often doesn’t want to leave. We started off with just 2 day per week but after some persistent pestering (sorry Kirsty :) we are over the moon to upgrade to 4! Paige has come on so much in a few months with Kirsty and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

Kirsty came highly recommended by friends, and since our daughter started there, she has grown in confidence and has enjoyed each day, playing with others and being well taken care of.
Kirsty is warm and lovely and has a clear authority over the children which means things run smoothly.
We would very much recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy childminder, that will nurture and care for your child in the best possible way.

My little one has been with Kirsty for over a year. He loves going to Kirsty’s! It’s the easiest way of getting him ready and out the house is to tell him who we are going to.. He always comes hone with a smile on his face. And they are always up to something, making things, colouring, baking and more!
Kirsty great and really flexible. Supports the me with help and guidance when ever needed.. I know I can count on her come rain of shine 😁

My little Girl is with Kirsty 4 days a week and loves being there, doesn’t even stop to say goodbye before running off to play 😊. My daughter is really happy and learning new things everyday from new words to singing different songs. Kirsty is very positive and welcoming and always happy to give ideas and suggestions. I love what a great routine my daughter also has and makes it very good for her. Xx

I highly recommend Kirsty. After visiting a few other childcare providers and Kirsty I knew that she was the person I wanted to help raise my little girl. Kirsty is extremely caring, reliable and clearly loves her job. Each day involves interesting and engaging activities for the children. My daughter clearly loves her time with Kirsty and continues to develop and learn so much from being with her.

Highly recommend Kirsty to anyone. My little boy attended her setting two full days a week and she had helped him come on leaps and bounds. He absolutely loved going! Never looked black to see if I was there or not when leaving him off in he morning. Kirsty becomes more of a friend and goes above and beyond her call of duty! Thanks again.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Kirsty to anyone looking for a wonderful, kind, thoughtful and conscientious childminder.
Kirsty’s home is very clean and so warm and welcoming and my son has access to lots of toys and books that stimulate him and help him to learn through play and having fun. He comes home quite regularly with pictures and things he has made/baked especially for special occasions. He also enjoys normal family life in Kirsty’s home and loves pottering in the garden.
