My little boy loves going to Kirsty or seeing her when we are out and about, she hasn't looked after him for some time now but she gets mentioned almost daily!
My son has a blood disorder and it can be quite a worry but I always felt at ease leaving him the care of Kirsty!
She really is a diamond!

Kirsty has looked after my three mess makers a number of times. They love her company, sunny personality and infectious enthusiasm. She has the rare ability to connect with children of all ages making them feel at ease. She is incredibly thoughtful, considering the personalities and preferences of the children in her care, adapting activities so they are engaged and happy to be with her. The kids and I would 100% recommend her.

Kirsty watched after our daughter a few times while we were on holiday in Cornwall this summer. She met us at our hotel and brought some toys with her, which was a really thoughtful touch.
Kirsty was very nice and extremely professional. Our daughter instantly warmed to her and by the last day she was reaching out for Kirsty when she arrived, which made us even more comfortable leaving her in Kirsty's capable hands. At the end of each evening she made sure to tidy the space and clean our daughter's bottle.
An absolute lifesaver - would highly recommend! We'll definitely contact Kirsty again next time we're in Cornwall.

We contacted Kirsty for help looking after our two children for a few nights on our family holiday. Kirsty was really flexible and professional in terms of arranging the cover and when she arrived, she instantly hit it off with the kids which allowed us to head off for the evening without any worries.
She brought some games along to keep the kids entertained (which was a very thoughtful touch) and they were very excited to know when she would be coming again.

Kirsty babysat for our 9 and 7 year old boys twice at the Bedruthan Hotel this summer. She was absolutely great with the boys and they warmed to her immediately. She is fun but firm and we were delighted to have found here! The boys even asked if we could go out another night so that she could come back again - which has never happened before!!! I could not recommend her highly enough.

My little girl hit it off with Kirsty immediately. Kirsty had such a wonderful ability to put her at ease which meant I could go to work happily knowing that she would be having the best time. Kirsty is very kind and caring and my little girl loved being there. She provided a wonderfully nurturing environment with lots of educational activities. I couldn’t recommend Kirsty enough.

I can honestly say Kirsty is amazing . I was so anxious and worried about leaving my little girl when I went back to work but Kirsty has really made the last 2 years as easy as possible. She would let me know how she was getting on with regular updates throughout the day. My little girl loves being with Kirsty not only does she have lots of fun but she is always learning new things. I would definitely recommend Kirsty whether it’s for a few hours or a longer period you can relax knowing you child would be safe and happy.

Kirsty took care of my little girl for 2 years 5 days a week and my son during the school holidays and I really could not have felt more at ease. Her enthusiasm to look after children is phenomenal. Her attention to detail and all her care into planning activities and her day trips and even her snack preparing is down to perfection. My daughter is well mannered and perfect due to Kirsty’s care. I couldn’t recommend kirsty enough. My children always felt safe and loved and always come home happy from kirsty. Any other parent I know will say the same. Shes the best there is. 5 star women and 5 star babysitter.

Kirsty is the most compassionate and caring person you will meet, she has cared for my daughter for years now and they both adore her, they can't wait to see her and this puts my mind at rest knowing they are safe and happy while I am at work. Kirsty provides a welcoming, safe and nurturing environment for the children in her care, ensuring that they have fun and educational activities tailored to their individual needs and interests. Kirsty goes above and beyond every day to give the children she looks after the best start in life.

Kirsty is amazing with children. She previously looked after my girl in a childminding setting so I knew when it was time for my youngest to go to childcare, only Kirsty would do. He has been with her for three years and loved it. He was very happy and content when with Kirsty and has learnt so much. He still talks about her even when he is not there.
She puts her heart & soul into the children she looks after and is the best is the best 💕
