Every child deserves a space where they are seen, heard, and gently guided to discover their own brilliance.
At Heather's, childminding is not simply supervision. It is a quiet art of nurturing curiosity, building confidence, and creating an environment where little ones feel as safe and loved as they do at home. Each day is an invitation to explore, imagine, and grow.
Over fifteen years of welcoming children into a home filled with warmth, laughter, and thoughtful learning. From tiny explorers taking their first steps to confident children heading off to school, Heather has been a trusted presence in Kilgetty and the surrounding communities.
That depth of experience means an instinct for what each child needs, when they need encouragement, when they need space, and when they simply need a kind word and a warm hand to hold.
A complete day of structured and free play, meals, rest, and creative activities. Designed for working parents who need reliable, loving care throughout the day, from early morning drop-off to evening collection.
Seamless wraparound care for school-age children. A calm start to the morning with breakfast and a relaxing wind-down after school with snacks, homework support, and play before parents arrive.
School holidays covered with adventure. Nature walks through the Pembrokeshire countryside, creative projects, outdoor games, and age-appropriate excursions to local beaches and woodlands.
Following the Foundation Phase framework, every activity is thoughtfully designed to support language, numeracy, creativity, and social development. Learning through play, naturally and joyfully.
Understanding that every family is different, sessions can be tailored to suit your working pattern. Part-time, ad-hoc, and regular arrangements all welcome. Let's find what works for you.
Heather's home in Kilgetty has been thoughtfully arranged to provide a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment. Every corner has a purpose, every resource chosen with care.
A secure, enclosed garden with climbing frames, sandpit, water play, and a growing patch where children plant seeds and watch them flourish through the seasons.
Art supplies, craft materials, and open-ended resources that encourage imagination. Painting, collage, modelling clay, and seasonal projects throughout the year.
A cosy, quiet space filled with picture books and stories in both English and Welsh. Daily reading time nurtures a love of language and storytelling.
Construction sets, puzzles, sensory bins, role-play areas, and nature tables that change with the seasons. Learning is woven into every moment.
Gentle structure, natural rhythm
Warm greetings, shoes off, a moment to settle in. Free play and gentle morning activities as friends arrive one by one.
Healthy snacks together at the table. Fruit, oatcakes, milk or water. A social moment to chat about the day ahead.
A planned activity linked to the weekly theme. Art, counting games, letter recognition, science experiments, or music and movement.
Into the garden for fresh air. Running, climbing, digging, water play, and exploring nature. Come rain or shine, we're outside.
A home-cooked, balanced meal prepared fresh. Sitting together, practising table manners, trying new foods, and enjoying each other's company.
Rest for the little ones, quiet activities for the older children. Stories, puzzles, or simply a peaceful moment to recharge.
Free play, creative projects, or a walk to the local park. Following the children's interests and energy levels naturally.
Refuelling with healthy bites. A moment to reflect on the day, share favourite moments, and wind down together.
Parents welcomed with smiles and a summary of the day. What we did, what we learned, any lovely moments to share.
Heather's has been our second home. Our daughter walks through the door with a smile every morning and comes back full of stories about her day. We couldn't ask for more.
Based in the heart of Kilgetty, just minutes from Saundersfoot and the stunning Pembrokeshire coast. Perfectly placed for families across the local area, with easy access to local schools and amenities.
The beautiful beaches, coastal paths, and countryside of Pembrokeshire are woven into our activities throughout the year, from shell collecting at Wiseman's Bridge to woodland walks along the old railway line.
From babies to school-age children, Heather's provides age-appropriate care tailored to each child's developmental stage. Small group sizes ensure every child receives individual attention and genuine connection.

Every aspect of the home and garden is risk-assessed and maintained to the highest standards. But safety here goes beyond physical space. It means emotional safety too, a place where children feel secure enough to try, fail, and try again.
No two children are alike, and neither is their care. Heather takes time to understand each child's personality, interests, and needs. Daily diaries and regular communication ensure parents are always in the loop.
Childminding works best when it feels like an extension of home. Open, honest communication, flexibility around family needs, and a shared commitment to each child's happiness and development.
Pembrokeshire is our classroom. From watching tadpoles in spring to collecting autumn leaves, from beach days in summer to puddle jumping in winter. Nature teaches resilience, wonder, and respect for the world around us.
Every family's needs are different, and rates are discussed individually based on the hours and days you require. Heather believes in transparent, fair pricing that reflects the quality of care your child receives.
Childcare vouchers and Tax-Free Childcare are accepted. Government-funded hours for eligible 3 and 4-year-olds may also be available.
There is a Welsh word, cynefin, that describes a deep sense of belonging to a place. It is that feeling that children develop here. A rootedness in the community, the landscape, and the people of this beautiful corner of West Wales.
From the harbour at Saundersfoot to the woodland trails of Kilgetty, this is where your child's earliest memories will be made. In a place that feels like home.
Every journey starts with a simple hello. Reach out on Facebook to learn more about availability, arrange a visit, or simply ask a question. Heather looks forward to hearing from you.
