I cannot thank Chrissy Ann Heagney and her staff for the help and care they have provided for my Grandson over the past 3 years. My grandson has challenging behaviour problems and Chrissy stuck with him through many difficult and challenging times. She is very professional, efficient, has many years experience as a childminder, kind and caring and has provided a secure, comfortable and happy environment for my Grandson and other children in her care. I highly recommend her.
