Heather has been caring for my daughter since September 2024 for 15 hours a week, and from September 2025, we’re increasing to 30 hours weekly—and I couldn’t be happier with her! She is absolutely lovely, reliable, easy-going, and incredibly clean, which is so reassuring as a parent. As a first-time mum, I’ve found her guidance invaluable.
What truly sets Heather apart is her attentiveness to my daughter’s development. Anytime I have a concern, she focuses on it and ensures everything is addressed with care and professionalism. My daughter adores her—every time we arrive at Heather’s door, she giggles with excitement and looks genuinely happy. Unlike with strangers, where babies might cry, my daughter is completely at ease with Heather.
The communication with Heather is outstanding (10/10!), and I always feel reassured knowing my child is in a safe, clean, and nurturing environment. Heather is also incredibly understanding of my non-standard work hours, which makes things so much easier for me as a working mum.
I highly recommend Heather to any parent looking for a reliable, caring, clean, and flexible childminder. She’s truly amazing!

I first found Heather through this website 4 years ago when my daughter was 18 months old. After meeting Heather I have never looked back. She is a fantastic child minder and I honestly do not think there is better available. My daughter and Heather have such a fantastic bond and I believe she is a fantastic role model for my little girl. My daughter attended corner house child minding full time for three years and even though we have now moved out of the area my daughter still attends in the school holidays. When I leave for work I have every confidence that my daughter will not only be well looked after but she will also have lots of fun!! My little girl can not wait to get to Heathers most of the time and is always excited to see her. Heather is extremely reliable, friendly, helpful and just absolutely lovely. She keeps records all of the childrens progress which are always up to date and interesting to see.
The setting is ideal with plenty of room for children to play both inside and out. My daughter even tells me Heathers cooking is considerable better than mine. Ha ha!!
I couldn't ask for a better childminder.
