Kersti looked after my eldest son when between 1 and 3 years of his life. He would do full days with her. We have also used her baby sitting service for both our boys. recently. We only stopped because we have moved away.

Kersti's approach and ethos to childcare is kind, compassionate, thoughtful and creative. I have never met someone who is so in tune with my child and what he wants. She uses a variety of approaches discovery-led, montessori, artsbased play and tailors them to the individual child. My child was able to play freely and creatively as well as within a safe and structured environment.

Kersti strikes that great balance of being flexible accommodating and child-led but with strong and clear safe boundaries for the children. Her sense of routine is really clear and she is consistent with this. I have never understood how she got my child to nap so easily!

He was so happy in her care and talks about her and her son like part of a wider family, and I think this is testiment to how Kersti views childminding, like a caring community where respect, love and play are all celebrated. Highly recommend!
