Heike has been our daughter's childminder for over 21/2 years (she started going to Heike at 7 months old, just prior to me having to go back to work). Our daughter has been with Heike on a more or less full time basis. We have been extremely impressed by the care Heike offers, her expertise and flexibility.
Our daughter is very fond of Heike (and her family)and has developed in to an outgoing, confident little girl whilst in her care.
We have been really impressed by the amount and range of activities that she does - ranging from the variety of play groups they attend, soft play, playgrounds, forest skills days, picnics and trips to local attractions, to the activities they undertake a Heike's setting ie cooking, art etc. In addition, Heike has fantastic facilities for the children in her setting - with a fully equipped playroom and outdoor play area.
Our daughter has had the benefit of being looked after within a warm, loving home environment, whilst also getting the benefit of mixing with,and playing with, larger groups of children at the various play groups and childminder events they attend. Our daughter can even understand a few words in German - which has been an unexpected bonus.

Heike has been on hand with advice on nutrition, potty training and various developmental stages, which was been invaluable as a new parent!

Heike is an extremely reliable, trustworthy, and caring childminder, and I have no hesitation in recommending very highly.
