Heather

The absolute best

There are no words available to tell you how wonderful Heather is. I first met Heather after my first initial meeting with another childminder put me off leaving my son with anyone other than family. He had a stoma and some complex health problems and I needed some who I could trust like family to look after him. Heather was that and more. I felt at ease the second we walked in and knew we had found our childminder.

Despite having no experience with a baby with a stoma she took Seb on and learnt everything she needed to that allowed her to support me to manage his day to day care. She had Seb from around 10 months old until her left her care to go to school. In that time she supported not only his development but also myself as his Mum. He was a stubborn little boy but she nurtured him and treated him like one of her own. Helping him learn and grow every single day and supporting me as his Mum through some very tough times.

Heather is still a part of our lives even though Seb is now 8 and at school. And we wouldn’t want it any other way.

She really is the absolute best

The only childminder I will ever use and recommend

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for the care Grayson has received over the years. He has been with Heathers childminding since he was just 6 weeks old, and from the very beginning she has treated him with so much love, patience, and understanding.

Heather has always taken the time to truly see Grayson for who he is, recognising and supporting his SEN needs with compassion, sensitivity, and professionalism. Her ability to adapt, nurture, and advocate for him has made such a positive difference to his development and confidence. Grayson has always felt safe, accepted, and valued in her care.

The environment she provides is warm, calm, and nurturing, and it is clear how much thought and effort goes into supporting each child as an individual. I have seen Grayson grow, learn, and thrive thanks to the consistency, reassurance, and genuine care he received and still receives every day.

Heather goes above and beyond everyday to care for each child and caters for each child. Grayson isn’t an easy child to look after as he has additional needs but she has been fantastic and I couldn’t have been the mother I am now without her love support and guidance.

Leaving your child with someone from such a young age is never easy, but I have always had complete trust and peace of mind knowing Grayson is not only cared for, but truly loved. I will always be thankful for the role Heather has played in Grayson’s life and can’t recommend her enough.

Homely setting

My little ones started going to Heather's before they started school, she has helped them grow into the children they are today.

She offers various activities inside and outdoors. Children are able to access different places with heather, which helps their development, various places include farms and beaches.

Children are offered a variety of foods , children also do activities like baking.

My children speak daily about Heather, they always look forward to visiting in the school holidays , she is such a lovely lady and treats children like her own.

I could write more but it would be pages full, as everything about Heather is so positive
