Katie

Wonderful Childminder

Heather has been an absolutely fantastic childminder to both our children. One was with her for 3+ years, and the other has recently started.

The children are always happy to go to her and love telling us everything they’ve been up to when they get home, including outings to farms, parks, soft plays and playgroups. She’s great at doing crafts with the children and helped our daughter to write her own name before she was even 4. She has also developed her numeracy in a fun way so she enjoys practicing counting and recognising written numbers.

Heather has taught our girls to be polite, kind and confident, and placed emphasis on healthy habits (e.g. eating fresh food before snack-type items, going to the dentist, washing hands etc.).

We have greatly valued her support and advice to us as parents with things like eating/weaning, sleep, eczema, toilet training and emotional issues. She is always easy to get hold of and great on communication.

I would recommend Heather to anyone, our girls love her!
