Halimo is extremely friendly and reliable. She will either have children at her house or at the village hall. Both settings are very child friendly. My daughter always has fun and is well looked after. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting friendly, flexible and excellent child care for children of all ages.

Halimo, is brilliant! My daughter has been with Back2Nature for the past 6 months and she has absolutely thrived. She’s learning every day, playing and making Friends.
Halimo, is very kind and understands exactly what the child needs.
I cannot fault her and she always help out if you are running late or need to add an extra half hour on to the day.

Thank you so much Lizzie I really appreciate this and I love looking after your son, he is a little star 🥰
My daughter is currently 16 months old as she has been going to see halimo for full time care when I went back to work when she was 11 months and was doing once a week from about 6 months old. My daughter absolutely loves going there they have so much fun together as halimo send pictures of what goes on during the day. She has also developed so much quicker being around halimo on a daily basis, she has provided for all of my daughters needs and she is extremely flexible with hours and if happy to change at the last minute if necessary. Halimo cooks home made healthy meals everyday. Halimo is a very happy cheerful fun person to be around and a very friendly person, she is very easy to talk to if you have any concerns and things you want to work on with your child. Halimo’s house is very clean and tidy and organised and it’s perfect for for children of all ages. If you are looking for a childminder with great experience and knowledge and a home from home experience then I 100% recommend halimo as a child care provider.

Halimo took my son with only a days notice. She listened really carefully to his needs and interests and planned activities that were perfect for him. He loved going there and she provided a really homely and nurturing environment for him. She was extremely patient and kind and took time to explain things to him. He is very fussy about who looks after him but he would and will happily go back to Halimo.

Halimo cared for both my children - my son for five days a week and the school pick up for my daughter, age 4, also five days a week. My son was with Halimo from about 8 months old and took to her easily and quickly, he absolutely loves her. My daughter has also loved her time with Halimo. They have been well fed with home cooked food and lots of variety, and really well looked after with lots to do and outdoor activity. I wouldn't hesitate to use Halimo again or to recommend her to anyone thinking about a childminder. She's also really flexible with hours – much better than the local nurseries.

Hallimo is an excellent childminder who looked after my daughter, Isabelle.
It was evident that they developed a special bond and Isabelle enjoyed seeing her every week. I would recommend her childminding service to any one who is looking for a trusted and safe place for their child.

I have no problem or concerns at all.
My daughter is my hole world and i find it difficult to leave her with anyone.
Halimo is very good with my daughter, her house has a lot of toys appropriate for different ages and a lovely little garden with outdoor toys.
Her home is always spotless and always smells lovely.
Anyone would be lucky to be able to find this lady to look after there child/childred.
