Helen has looked after my little boy from the age of 1 until he started school this September. He was always excited about going to Helen's and looked forward to all the things she had planned for him. I loved how their days were so varied from visiting toddler groups and play gyms to walks in the park and visiting farms. Abel particularly enjoyed their baking afternoons! Helen always supported us when we were moving through different changes such as potty training, and she has always encouraged him to learn and develop from putting on his own coat and shoes to learning numbers and colours etc. I have always felt relaxed and happy leaving Abel, and always enjoyed getting little updates and photos about what they were up to. Helen is an amazing childminder and we can't thank her enough for giving Abel a wonderful start, he is settled in at school and is a happy sociable little boy which Helen played a massive part in developing! He is going to miss Helen and her little boy lots.
