There's not enough starts!

Heather has looked after both of my children ( Perla & Sofia) since they were 9 months old through to starting school and has done a fantastic job at helping them become kind, confident, playful kids. She is warm and welcoming, funny and light hearted and extremely flexible.
I chose Heather as she has a great setting with great toys to stimulate and develop their little brains. I loved the fact that she can put all the kids in her car and be free to go wherever she wanted, those trips were what you just don’t get with a nursery. I wanted my kids to feel like they were at home where they had loads of time playing, space to be themselves but also with some structure and routine.
Heather has a great reputation and is always in demand. She is so professional and takes immense pride in providing an excellent service. She is organised, structured and could hold a conversation at the same time as keeping tabs on what the kids were doing around her. She has looked after the children consistently with positivity. That freedom and exposure to so many activities, environments and experiences has definitely had a direct impact on the happiness and roundedness of my kids.
The kids have themes, seasonal projects or some input on specific events like Mothers Day or Chinese new year. Their achievements, art work, cards, is all kept and recorded. Her handover at the end of the day has been invaluable to see what your child has done all day through a detail description.
I can genuinely see how much Heather loves children, she has been in this business for a long time now so knows what makes kids tick, how to make them feel at ease with a laugh and a joke but has clear boundaries too which I loved.
