Kirsten

Highly recommend ☺️

Kirsten has had care of both my daughters from the moment I returned to work and I can't recommend her enough to others. She has a home set up similar to my own and only heard positive things prior to initially contacting her. Kirsten has been invaluable in supporting our girls with their confidence and overall development and has always been happy to offer advice and reassurance as needed. It has been a pleasure having her involved for the past 3 years and you can see she cares about the children. Our youngest is due to join her sister in a larger setting in the coming months and I can honestly say she will be missed. She has been the foundation of their early years and prepares them well for the next stage in their lives. She only takes a small handful of children at a time so they all form a nice bond and we have found her to be friendly, flexible and accommodating. She will always address any queries or questions, is honest and well liked by the children. What more could you ask for. Spaces are like gold dust.

Highly recommended!

We couldn't be happier with the care our daughter has received with Kirsty. When we first looked into sending her here, there were unfortunately no spaces. When we were then searching for childcare again a year later, we were thrilled a space had become available, and it couldn't have worked out better for us.

Our daughter has now been with her for just under a year, and the experience has been fantastic from the very beginning. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and supportive during the settling-in sessions, which made the transition so much easier for both our daughter and us.

The range of activities on offer is excellent, with plenty of opportunities for learning, creativity, and fun. Communication is always great—we are kept informed about what our daughter has been doing and how her day has gone, which gives us real peace of mind.

Most importantly, our daughter absolutely loves going. At drop-off, she doesn't even stop to say goodbye anymore—she runs straight in, excited and ready for the day ahead! Seeing how happy, confident, and settled she is says everything.

We would highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, professional, and nurturing childminder.

Cannot recommend Kirsten enough!!

We first met Kirsty when looking to move out eldest daughter (then 11 months) into a smaller childcare placement as she was really struggling to settle in nursery. We noticed an immediate change in her when she started at Kirsty's 3 days a week, later 4 days. She developed so much more quickly there and became much more confident and we could see how much happier she was to be in a smaller group setting with a practitioner who really knew and understood her. E stayed with Kirsty until she was 3 and a half. We then enrolled my youngest daughter. We will be very sad to leave Kirsty when she starts preschool as she's been such a huge part of our lives for years.

We cannot recommend Kirsten enough. We loved that she took our children out to groups through the week, rather than them being stuck inside all day, and they got to experience new things and meet other children too. Kirsten was always happy to help advise us on anything from sleep to behavioural stuff and we found she was brilliant at getting the girls into a routine quickly which they thrived in.

We'll be so sad to say goodbye to this chapter, but just know your child will be in amazing hands.

couldn’t have asked for better

I met Kirsten over 2 1/2 years ago now when I was very anxiously looking for childcare for my 9month old in preparation for returning to work, I had been to see a few childminders but immediately took a liking to Kirsten
Her dedication to my son has always been beyond expectations and that is the same now as it was at the start.
always communicates the activities and events that have happened daily (which there are many) through the week that are always very thoughtfully picked to the collective interests and development
So I feel like I have great insight in to what he’s been up to and always helped to keep an eye on changing routines and new likes/dislikes etc
She has always worked incredibly hard on making his progress developmentally fun and In tune with his interests, which means he has come on in leaps and bounds.
We had originally intended for him to stay within Kirsten’s setting until school age and wouldn’t have hesitated sticking to that plan however as little people do plans change as he is ready to take on a new challenge in a bigger setting…
If you are looking for a childminder then I wouldn’t have a seconds hesitation in recommending Kirsten and her setting..

Godsend

Kisten has looked after my little girl since she was 14 months but we will be leaving at the end of September to go to reception.
They have formed such a wonderful bond and will definitely be missed. Kirsten has always communicated well with us, also sending daily reports with photographs. She really keeps lil one occupied with different activities to help her grow and are age appropriate. We can't thank you enough Kirsten but know that you've been very appreciated!

Amazing, Friendly and Reliable

Kirsten has looked after my little boy from 4 months old until he was 3 years old.
After his first settling in session I was put completely at ease with Kirsten as a childcare provider. Goes above and beyond to make a safe and fun environment for the children. My little boy loves her and his time there.
Would highly reccomend :)

So glad we found Kirsten!!

I was returning to work full time when my daughter was 7 months old and was very nervous about her childcare. Kirsten put me at ease straight away and I can honestly say having her take care of our daughter was the best decision we could have made. You can see the love and dedication Kirsten has for the children in her care. My daughter has progressed so well in the time she’s been with her and she absolutely loves going to see her, my daughter always has a big smile for Kirsten when I drop her off. I would whole heartedly recommend this lovely lady to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring and professional childcare.

Kirsten Price childcare review

Kirsten looked after our daughter Matilda for a number of years & had an extremly positive impact on her. Matilda was very quiet & shy around adults she didnt know & couldnt get her words out. Over years of love & care Kirsten helped coax her out of these ways along with boosting her confidence, getting her to try new things & helping her mind expand. Matilda has a genuine love for Kirsten & always looks forward to going around. I would fully recommend Kirsten to anyone as a childminder for a great learning experience, positive influences & a loving family environment that really shows.

Life saviour!

Kirsten was my second childcare provider for when my main childcare provider couldn’t look after my daughter. She was fantastic and always welcoming to have my daughter, sometimes at the drop of a hat! She is really reliable and my little girl enjoyed going to Kirsten’s. Thank you for all your support, Kirsten x

Excellent care

Kirsten has taken excellent care of my son during his time with her. My little boy runs to Kirsten when she comes to collect him and he always come home smiling after a great day. Kirsten plans a very good range of activities for the children and makes sure that they go out to socialise and to explore the local area. She gets to know each child individually and plans activities which help them to develop through their interests. Kirsten communicates well with parents, letting them know about how the day has gone and what kinds of activities they are working on. Leaving my son with Kirsten has meant that I can go to work with peace of mind that he is having fun and being loved and cared for.
