Kirsty has looked after my eldest from the time he was a one year old up until he went to reception. Throughout these years she has provided excellent care for him, sought to align as much as possible with his routines at home (especially in the early days, to make the transition smoother) and has done wonders for his development - social, emotional and educational (e.g. it was from Kirsty that he learnt how to hold a pencil). My son has always been a relatively sensitive child who prefers quiet environments and being at home. It therefore speaks volumes that he quickly came to enjoy going to Kirsty's, and asks to this day about when he can visit her.

As a parent, I have benefited immensely from the flexibility and open communication I have received from Kirsty. This has included lots of photos, daily updates and observations recorded in his little notebook covering everything from what he has eaten to when he has slept, what toys or activities he has enjoyed, what he turned his nose at etc. It is a level of communication and transparency I have yet to see in any of the other childcare providers I have used since, or heard fellow mums encountering.

I would highly recommend Kirsty to anyone looking for a provider who genuinely cares about little ones and will do everything in her power to make them feel at home in her setting.
