Best childminder ever!

Reviewed

Our son Adam started to attend Heike's settings in March 2014, when he was 9 months old.
Adam did not have any problems with settling in. Heike is very caring, organised and reliable childminder.
Heike is getting kids involved in lots of activities such as craft, baking etc.
Adam, nearly every day, brings home new art works and he is very proud about them.
They always make stuff relevant to particular time of year which means that they learn about all important events.
Children have a good balance between staying in very well set up house and
going out to playgrounds, zoo's, farms, soft-plays, forest school...
We have not heard about another childminder which spends so much time outdoors what is very important these days.
Our son prefer to stay in the garden then watch cartoons what we believe is also Heike's merit.
Heike was always happy to provide advice what for us meant a lot, as Adam's grandparents and rest of the family lives abroad.
Heike always cooperates with us so potty training and ditching dummy went smoothly.
We were so happy with Adam's development and he loves days when he goes to Heike's house, that we have decided not to send him to preschool but keep him with Heike also the last year before he starts school.
It was a very good decision as Heike is working very hard on Adam's literacy and numeracy, which can be challenging sometimes, as it's not easy to keep him focused.
Another proof, how happy we are with Heike's services, is that when our second son, Daniel, was born, we didn't even think about different option but to ask Heike to look after him as well.
Now, both our sons are having fun at Heike's.
We think, that they are hitting their milestones and have very versatile interests thanks to environment they are in.
When Adam had to stay at Heike's overnight, when our youngest was born we felt that it was better then to leave him with close friends as he feels safe there and feels comfortable around Heike's family.
Our children love to socialize with other kids so they can not wait until next visits at child clubs.
Heike is very supportive and flexible with providing her care, even with a very short notice.
Both our sons love her and this is the best confirmation of what kind of childminder Heike is.
