Below are the latest reviews for Heather. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.

I met Heather when I was looking for childcare, and was pleased with everything I saw and how she was.

Although I have not chosen Heather as a childminder, it was purely because someone else was more suitable for us in a difficult working situation we have.

I would happily leave my child with her from what I have seen, and may well do in the future as she provides some cover for the childminder I have chosen.

Thanks for taking the time to meet with me Heather.
