About Me

Hello, my name is Kirsty and I am a registered childminder with a passion for providing a nurturing, nature-inspired, and homely environment for children to thrive.
With over 8 years of experience in childcare, I embrace the Forest School approach and pride myself in creating a warm, secure, and enriching space for little ones to explore, learn, and grow.
I work closely with parents to ensure that each child receives personalised care, supporting their individual development and happiness.
I would love to welcome you and your little one to my setting! Feel free to get in touch to learn more or arrange a visit.

My Experience

With over 8 years hands-on experience as an Early Years Educator, I have developed a strong foundation in supporting the development and well-being of children from birth to five years old. I have planned and delivered engaging activities that align with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, supporting each child’s unique needs, interests, and developmental milestones.

Throughout my time in early years settings, I have built positive and trusting relationships with both children and their families, ensuring a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where children feel confident and supported. I am skilled in observing, assessing, and recording children’s progress, and adapting activities to promote holistic learning.

Now as a childminder, I am excited to bring this experience into a home-based setting, offering a warm and stimulating environment with more individualised attention and flexibility. My goal is to continue supporting children’s early learning journeys while working closely with families in a more personal and consistent way.

My Qualifications

I am a fully trained Early Years and Portage Educator. I also hold paediatric first aid, fire warden and safeguarding and I follow the EYFS.
