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.

As other reviewers have mentioned Kirsty has been a lifeline to us. Kirsty looked after both our children for nearly 5 years up until recently (they are now at school). Kirsty loves and is loved by both our children and they look back with great fondness. Kirsty has just the right balance of love and "tough love" as she makes children develop age appropriate skills and behaviour.
For parents she has lots of great sage advice which comes from her years of experience.....an absolute lifeline especially as our personal circumstances meant we had no immediate family near to us.
We consider ourselves so lucky to have had Kirsty as childminder to both our children.

After visiting several childminders and nurseries for my eldest son (now 5) I hadn't quite found what I considered we were looking for. However after my initial visit to Kirsty's home, I knew that she was the one that I wanted to care for my son.
The environment felt like 'home from home' and I love how the children are able to use all of the main living areas. Kirsty has a wealth of wonderful resources to interest the children including an amazing garden (my boys love the outdoors!).
She is incredibly reliable and flexible and I don't know what we do without her! She now cares for both of our sons and they have always been very settled and happy. Kirsty is incredibly nurturing and knows all of the children in her care inside out. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found her!

Kirsty has been our life line. She took on our son at 10 months old part time and we have never looked back. Her care is second to none and it is just perfect for us. Kirsty is the most honest, caring, nurturing and supportive ‘mother substitute’ I have come across and being in the early years profession myself I’ve known a few.
Kirsty has guided us through so many stages of ours sons life, the integration of our family and helped us in some serious difficult times. I could not praise her anymore. She has become part of our family and I will never regret my decision for her to take my place bringing up my little boy, such an important thing to do. I will be forever grafeful for the special bond she has with my little boy. I dread the day I ‘officially’ no longer need Kirsty’s help!

Kirsty has looked after both my boys (now aged 7 and 4) since they were 12 months old. She provides a loving and caring environment for the children she cares for and they love her in return. She has been an absolute godsend to me and my family, nothing is ever too much trouble, she’s always flexible and has a lifetime of helpful advice and tips to support through challenging times. Sadly my time with Kirsty is coming to an end as my youngest starts school in September. She will be sorely missed by us all. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a childminder-she is simply the best 🏆
