Hedgehogs Childmindi's Reviews

Thank you!

My son attended Hedgehogs for 12 months, prior to moving on to pre-school early learning last month!
The care that he received whilst at Hedgehogs was absolutely fantastic!
This team have every box ticked and whilst my son attended my husband and I agreed that his development was amazing. Having an older son who attended a private nursery for 3 years prior to pre-school-We noticed a huge difference and this was due to the safe and nurturing environment that he was in!
Heather and Trey’s focus on getting it “right” for every child is spot on!
Healthy foods, lots of outdoor education and positive focus on making the correct choices regarding their own behaviour!
Our son thrived and has transitioned into pre-school nursery with total ease!
Thank you Hedgehogs, so glad that we found you!

Jane and Steven Keary Xx

Amazing

Heather and Trey have looked after my daughter for 2 years and I couldn't ask for better childminders. They are both so lovely, helpful and accommodating. My daughter loves them and has grown such an amazing bond with the whole family and the other kids there. I can't recommend them enough.

My boys second home 🥰

My two boys both went to Hedgehogs Childminding from 1 year old and thoroughly enjoyed everyday.
Heather and Trey provide a wonderful service and a safe environment within their own spacious home. Activities range from puppet shows and park trips to climbing hills. I loved seeing photos and videos of all the adventures that they got up to throughout the time spent there until they went to school.
Heather helped when it came to potty training, etc and nothing was ever a problem. A daily diary was provided via email everyday and this is something I still enjoy looking back on. Trey has a great bond with my kids and they still love seeing him on the school run sometimes. I cannot recommend them both enough and wouldn’t hesitate to use their childcare services again.
Thank you for everything you have done for my boys. You always go the extra mile and it’s truly appreciated.

Simple the Best!

My little one has been going to Heather's for two years now (since he was one year old) and he has grown and developed so much thanks to her! Heather is such a lovely person who instantly put my first time mum anxieties at ease. From the beginning Heather and her whole family have went above and beyond to care for Leighton and they continue to do so all the time.
I absolutely love receiving my daily journey in the evening as it has all the information I could ever want and amazing pictures (really she could be a photographer)! Heather always checks in with myself on a regular basis to ensure my little one receives consistent care and is a gold mine of information/experience.
From arts and crafts and imaginative play to outdoor hill walking, days at the beach or playing in the woods my little one is always busy, engaged and has a great day!
I could write paragraphs about how amazing Heather and her family are but I won't bore you....just know they are the very best you could ever find!

Superb!

Our little one has been going to Heather for a few months now and we couldn’t be happier. Heather provides a great setting for our daughter that includes lots of fun activities, days out and plenty of outdoor play which she loves. We only moved to the area recently and feel extremely lucky we found Heather. The daily reports give you an insight into your little ones day and often include pictures which I really love.

Thanks for the lovely review Jill. It's so nice to feel appreciated:) Your little disney princess is an absolute pleasure to spend the day with!!!

Honestly wouldn't use anybody else!

Heather is the third Childminder my sons have been placed with and can honestly say with Heather is the place they've been most settled, never any complaints from the boys and they really miss her during holidays. They look forward to going to Heather's more than nursery and home, surely that shows just how great Heather and her family are with the children. I never have any worries when they are there and enjoy getting updates and photos of what they are getting up to during their time there. Heather provides a wide variety of snacks and lunch and as fussy as my sons are, it's great to hear they've tried new (more healthy) foods that they normally wouldn't try for me lol Heather also provides a wide variety of toys and play. I honestly couldn't recommend her enough.

No one better

Only way to describe Heathers services ... Fanastic. Nathan loved his days at Heathers and always looked forward to going and spending the day with her and her absolutely lovely family. Never had any complaints and think there is really no one better. And God love her for accommodating Nathans very picky eating. Would recommend her to anyone.

Thanks for your lovely review Emma.
Hope you guys have settled well in Saltcoats and wee Nathan is enjoying Pr1. We really appreciate your updates and love hearing how you all are doing:)

Super mum

If you want your child to have a well rounded experience this is your woman. Heather goes above and beyond and teaches the kids more than the nursery at times. Worth her weight in gold and I know my wee boy is in good hands and I have no worries while he is there. When your child looks forward to going to the Childminder you know you made the right choice!

Thanks for such lovely comments Pam. It's so nice to be appreciated xx

Fantastic childminder & lovely person too.

Jack has been with Heather for just over a year and absolutely loves it. He can't wait to tell me about his day when I pick him up. Heather and her family were so welcoming and have really brought him out his shell. They are always busy and doing something fun. I love getting pictures through out the day and being able to see what he's up to. Would highly recommend!

Thanks Claire. Jacky Boy is such a dream to have xx

Fantastic

Heather is absolutely amazing with my Reilly , he is really strange with new people but has took to heather so well from he started. Heather sends little updates and pics of what he's been doing ,which I enjoy and also his 2 way diary is always great to read what they have gotten up to and what he's eaten. Reilly has an amazing time here and I would highly recommend.
