Looking for a childminder is probably one of the most stressful things you will ever have to do. You are handing over your most precious thing in the world. It is of course only right to be worried - that is totally normal. You need to be happy and if you are happy your little person will be. We came across Heather at Kiddiwinks in 2014. We instantly loved her. She has a lovely home with the most fantastic playroom - a room where the children can explore and play with a whole range of toys. She has a messy play area and a lovely kitchen where they have mealtimes. Heather also has the most wonderful garden which backs onto open fields - the view is breathtaking. There are not many settings where children can go down to the fence and see cows, sheep and ducks wandering around. Our first daughter was with Heather for a year and literally thrived. She became a thoroughly well rounded and confident little person. We now send our second daughter to Heather also. She adores her and has settled in very quickly. She is a very happy child and we are thrilled to have Heather with us as our journey as parents continues. Heather has gained a very well deserved outstanding Ofsted rating. There is no doubt from her day trips, early years learning and art and craft work that she well and truly deserves that. But for me - its more than that - its about trust. We trust Heather implicitly with our children and that is by far what it is all about.
