About Me

My name is Kirsty Grant, I am 40 years old and live in Tranent with my husband Ryan and our 2 daughters Alex 17, Orla 14 & our son Fletcher age 7.
We also share our home with our adorable 11 year old Cocker Spaniel Buddy , French Bulldog puppy Lottie, our Rabbit Autumn & Pippa and Penni the guinea pigs

I am a registered childminder with the care inspectorate and I am a member of the Scottish Childminding Association.

Ryan and I are both members of the PVG scheme and have been processed through enhanced disclosure.

I aim to provide a fun, friendly, happy and healthy homely environment. Your child will be cared for in a safe, secure, clean and hygienic home.

I will encourage healthy living by providing healthy snacks which are included in my fee and by being outdoors where possible whether it be in my garden, the local parks, beaches or on an outing.

I can drop off and / or pick up from windygoul Nursery and Primary school.

Child Focused Care at the heart of Everything

5 stars

Our daughter has been looked after by Kirsty since she was 16 months old (now 4) and she absolutely loves going. Kirsty is very empathic, compassionate, caring and fun. My daughter has been very fortunate to experience lots of different trips out, crafting and making new friends while
In Kirsty’s care. She has also helped us out many time when we have needed additional days or later cover (with notice). For what is a really anxiety provoking experience of leaving your child with someone else, Kirsty made this transition much easier on us all and we regularly receive photos and videos throughout the day of what they have been doing. Highly recommend Kirsty as a childminder.

⭐️A home away from home ⭐️

5 stars

We have been using Kirsty as our son’s childminder for over four years, and we honestly couldn’t recommend her enough.

Our little one started with Kirsty when he was just one year old, and from the very beginning she created a warm, caring, and welcoming environment for him. Even now, he still gets excited for his day with Kirsty each week, which says everything about how happy he is in her care.

Kirsty provides such a wide range of fun and enriching experiences. From soft play adventures and trips to local parks, farms, and beautiful gardens, there is always something exciting for the children to explore and enjoy. She also spends lots of time doing arts and crafts with the children, encouraging creativity and helping them develop new skills while having fun.

One thing we particularly appreciate is how well Kirsty keeps us informed throughout the day. She regularly sends photos and updates of their trips, activities, and creations, allowing us to share in the special moments and giving us complete peace of mind that our son is happy, safe, and thriving.

Kirsty has been a huge part of our son’s early years, and we truly appreciate everything she has done for him. The love, patience, and effort she puts into caring for the children are evident every day. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found her and would highly recommend her to other families.

Perfect childminder

5 stars

My family more than landed on our feet when we found Kirsty in 2020. It was difficult handing over my then 1 year old during Covid but she soon settled right in and is stil there over 5 years later! Now joined by her little brother. Both children love it at Kirsty’s ❤️
Kirsty’s is a home away from home, exactly what I wanted from a childcare setting as I prefer that to the sometimes clinical private nursery’s. Kirsty is warm and kind in her manner toward the children in her care, along with being professional yet friendly.
Her communication is great, sending updates and photos of their adventures during the day which I enjoy.
I trust her wholeheartedly with my children and wouldn’t change anything about her and her setting.
Even if it means I hear ‘I wanna go to Kristy’s so I can feed the rabbit her breakfast’ nearly every day!

Excellent

5 stars

I cannot recommend my childminder highly enough. She has looked after my son with such care, kindness, and dedication, and it has made a huge difference to both him and our family.

From the very beginning, she created a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment where my son feels happy, secure, and valued. She takes the time to understand his individual needs and interests, providing a variety of engaging activities that support his learning and development. It is clear that she genuinely cares about the children she looks after and is passionate about helping them thrive. I am incredibly grateful for the support and care she provides and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy and exceptional childminder.

Kirsty looks after our daughter and with our chaotic work hours she makes it a breeze. Always helpful and flexible regardless, our daughter loves going there. Well recommended

Kirsty's amazing childminding service :-)

5 stars

Kirsty has been helping me with child care for the past couple of years. It started off informally with Kirsty occasionally picking up my girl then aged 5 from school and this developed into a regular thing, Kirsty is now my daughters, formal childminder and my wee girl just loves her and her whole family to bits. Kirsty provides a safe caring environment for my daughter before and after school & she offers a wide range of fun activities. Kirsty is very aware of my child's needs and is very supportive of her in all areas, she also has a good local knowledge and accesses a wide range of local activities. I have recently had a baby boy and he too will be minded by Kirsty, knowing that he will be cared for by her when I return to work gives me great peace of mind as I know he will be supported to fulfil his full potential right from the start. I have no hesitation in recommending Kirsty as a childminder, she is a naturally caring person and more than able to meet the needs of any child.
