I cannot recommend Kirsty enough. Kirsty has been a brilliant addition to our family and invaluable in supporting my husband and I to look after our identical twin boys (from age 9 months to 5 years). Kirsty has helped us on numerous occasions, both for daytime and evening care to give us some respite. Kirsty has continuously made a real effort to get to know our boys as individuals to build trust, both between the boys and her but with us as parents which has been lovely to see. The boys love being in Kirsty's care and it is abundantly clear she enjoys playing and being with them too.

Kirsty has been a big hit with my 3 year old son and 2 year old daughter. She is a wonderful childminder and she has looked after them since they were around 6 months. We have loved her flexibility when I have had last minute work projects and she stepped in very quickly overnight when I was in labour to look after my eldest. She is lots of fun and I highly recommend her in every way!
