About Me

Hi, I'm Helen. I am an Ofsted registered, tax-free registered, government-funded, childminder. I also offer short-term, temporary childcare.

Before and After school childcare is available for children who attend Holland Haven Primary School. In addition to this, I provide wrap around childcare for children who attend Burrsville Pre-school.

I live in Great Clacton with my husband, our 4 year old son and our 1 year old cockerpoo dog, Ted.

I follow the EYFS and use the whole of my house for childminding, providing a calm, fun and stimulating environment for children to play, learn and thrive. No matter what the weather is like, I take the children out to explore the beach, park, forest, playgroups, soft play and much more.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
11 April 2024
Children thrive in an environment that supports their emotional development and learning needs. An ambitious curriculum fosters good progress through sufficiently challenging activities. Strong partnerships with parents contribute to positive outcomes, while mathematical skills are well-supported through play. Areas for improvement include encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as establishing partnerships with other early years settings to ensure continuity in children's development.

Excellent Childminder

5 stars

When I had to go back to work I felt very anxious and finding the right child care was new and scary for me. Helen has been an absolutely amazing childminder and made me feel confident that my child is well looked after. She has an amazing background working with children and a lovely home environment. Helen always listens to everything when explaining about my child and is very efficient in every way. She is very proactive with assisting my child in developing key skills. I get regular updates throughout the day including pictures and videos of the activities they have done. Helen takes all the kids on daily outings, whether that is to the local park, beach, petting zoo's, or sing along group, and many more. I feel so lucky to have found Helen, I couldn't ask for a better childminder.

She is incredible and my girls love her

5 stars

Helen is absolutely amazing with my twin girls. I was so anxious about leaving them when I returned to work and Helen made this transition so much easier. She is amazing with the girls and provides them with lots of sensory activities some of which they have never explored at home. We have a learning journal which documents what they have done and how they are developing which is so lovely. We also have a communication book as-well as the use of email and WhatsApp to keep us updated. I get provided with some pictures throughout the day which is so reassuring and the girls love going.

When I met Helen her experience of childcare was extensive and evident from the amount of detail that goes into when planning to mind the girls. I felt reassured that there are policies in place and how well set out the space is for the children within her home. I honestly would highly recommend her and am so glad that we have found her.
