About Me

Hello! My name is Kirsty and I live in Spondon with my husband and two children. I own my own home with a large garden, 4 chickens and our little old cat, Poppy.

I provide Early Years childcare from my own home and will work closely with parents and carers to provide the best possible start for your little ones. Having 2 children of my own, we have a very homely and nurturing environment. I am OFSTED registered for ages 0-5 and have experience in both a school and nursery environment.

I love the outdoors, craft, messy play, cooking, reading and baking. I am a strong believer in child-led learning and that using their interests helps them to flourish in all areas of Early Years learning. I aim to encourage children to love learning through being curious, being active and exploring new things.

I will keep parents informed of their child's development and will support parents with transitions to both nursery (if they choose to move on) and starting school. I provide breakfast, lunch, a cooked dinner and snacks as I believe sharing mealtimes is a wonderful way to connect and discover new tastes.

We have a lot of fun at our house with a mud kitchen in the garden, chickens to care for and a greenhouse for planting fruit and veg. I have a range of resources to promote learning and development already but will follow your child's interests when it comes to daily activities and play opportunities. My opening hours are 7:30-5:30 Monday to Thursday and I charge £6 per hour. I also provide funded places. I offer term time only contracts and I can also provide childcare during the half term holidays and Easter holidays.
