My daughter started with heather when she was 9months old. She has just left for school and I can honestly say she has had the best time with Heather and her family. She supports you with parenting and aids you when you need support and in instills the children with good manners and values.
We all enjoyed my children’s time with heather and her tent.

Was a pleasure to look after such a lovely family. Great times were had on our many adventures in the local area and the fun we had making crafts to take home. Was a joy to teach ready to start school.
