My name is Heather and I live in Thornhill Stirlingshire with my husband and two children age 11 and 8 years. I aim to provide a happy, safe stimulating environment enabling you as a parent to feel relaxed and confident when leaving your child in my care and enabling your child to learn through play and to feel at home in their surroundings. I am a member of the Scottish child-minding association and am registered with the Scottish Care inspectorate (SCSWIS) and have completed several training courses including First Aid, Basic food hygiene and child protection. I have a large private enclosed garden for children to enjoy and plenty of toys and games for each age group. I use many local amenities, e.g. baby and toddler groups, library bus, soft play, parks etc. Activities are well planned, safety assessed and appropriate for each child’s age and stage of development. The children will socialise with other childminders and their children. I have both Full and Part-time spaces available for pre-school children. Before and after school places as well as school holiday and in service day coverage available.
