My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Helen, I have been an ofsted registered Childminder for 17 years. I hold a full clean UK driving licence, a valid paediatric first aid certificate, safeguarding certificate and enhanced CRB certificate. I live with my husband Martin, we have 5 children Michaela (29) Aaron (26) Abbie (20) Jack (16) and Max (13). I also have three Grandchildren.
I provide a smoke free, friendly and caring environment for your children to develop their skills. I also work alongside the EYFS framework.
I have recently had my playroom rebuilt with a toilet and baby changing facilities added. I have a large safe and secure back garden with a separate play area that can be used all year round whatever the weather. I have a large variety of toys which includes, dressing up, a kitchen, a tuff tray with a different activity daily, tool bench, cars, dolls, books, puzzles and soft play equipment. We also grow our own fruit and veg each year.
Every morning we start our day with some singing and dancing which the children really enjoy.
I provide three meals a day all freshly cooked with healthy snacks throughout the day.
In my last ofsted inspection I was graded good in all areas.

My daughter has been with Helen for almost a year now and loves it. She has also come on leaps and bounds as she started when she was 1.5 years old and didn't really speak. Now there is no stopping her. Helen offers a lovely, clean, friendly place - I couldn't ask for any more.

My 2 year old son has been with Helen over a year and he loves it there. He even askes if he can go on his days off. He has come on so much since being with Helen he has learnt his numbers letters colours and shapes and knows all the nursery rhymes. Each time he comes home he has done a different activity. And always has a story to tell me about what he's bin up to through the day. Helen is a friendly lady who is always happy when I'm dropping and picking my son up. The play room and garden are amazing and has everything in them the children need to help them have fun grow an learn. Would definitely recommend..
