Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Kirsti. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Kirsti has been with us for about 18 months now, since our youngest was nearly 1 and our eldest almost 6 . (Her availability is due to us reducing our hours to send our youngest to nursery part time).
Kirsti quickly became a part of the family - adored by the children and easy company for us - it’s hard to imagine life without her around!
She is kind and fun, meaning the boys are always happy to be with her. School holidays are filled with days out with friends and day to day our little one is out at the park, playgroups or doing activities at home. But she is also firm and very organised, so the boys are learning great manners and the house is always under control.
Any family would be lucky to have Kirsti join them!

Kirsti looked after our two children for a year. She was exceptionally patient, kind and caring and both of my children adored her (as did we!).
Our eldest child has an Autism diagnosis. Despite not having specific previous experience with a child with SEN, Kirsti was incredible with him. Her nurturing and patient nature meant that they quickly built up a rapport and he trusted her implicitly - very rare for him.
During the holidays, she meticulously planned amazing trips for them each day, and met up with other nannies too, so they had a little group of friends!
Sadly, we needed less hours once our youngest was fully established at school, so Kirsti needed to find a full time role. We’ve had quite a few nannies over the years, but she set the bar very high! If you have the chance, snap her up! She’s brilliant.

Kirsti is an absolute legend. She has been looking after my two children since they were 1 and 3 (now 5 and 7) and has been a total game changer in our house. She is brilliant with the kids and has the energy and patience I can only dream about - she constantly goes over and above, be it cooking creative, healthy meals, organizing creative and fun activities for them and accomodating any clubs / appointments and commitments that the kids have. She somehow manages to be fun (quote above is from my eldest) whilst also being firm and consistent in a way that is really supportive to me as a parent. Consensus at the school gates is that she is one of the best and she has never missed a day of work for me in all the time she has been with us. She also leaves the house much tidier than when she arrives. I honestly don't know how we ever coped without her.
I am really sad that we no longer need Kirsti now my kids are both in school as she feels like part of the family (in a good way - like a fun auntie, she never oversteps). I hope that she finds a warm and friendly family who appreciate her immesurable skills. She is far too modest in her summary on here - happy to call and give a verbal reference if you need one!

Kirsti has looked after my two (girl 4 and boy 6) every Friday for the last 3 or so years. She genuinely loves kids, is super organised and 100% reliable, so makes a brilliant nanny. She is firm with the kids when required, and calm in a crisis. We feel very fortunate to have had her help and would not hesitate to recommend her. Bron
