I'll start off with saying that we absolutely love Helen, Nick & their whole family. Our little boy started with them when he was 9 months old and is now 2.5 yrs. He is super excited to go every morning and is the happiest little bugger when we pick him up. He amazes us nearly every day with new words or skills he has learnt. Helen & Nick really go out of their way to make learning fun and do some many activities during the day- we look forward the daily updates & photos.These really help to put my mamma heart at ease, especially when I first went back to work. We cannot thank them enough for loving our little one and helping him grow into such a beautiful, smart little boy. We are forever thankful.

Thankyou Jani, lovely words x
Our son absolutely loved Helen & Nick’s childminding setting. I was very anxious finding the right care for our one year old little boy when I had to rerun to work however luckily I was recommended Helen. From the first visit of her home I was immediately reassured by what I have seen. The atmosphere, Helen’s attitude, and the relaxed and smiling children that were kept busy with various activities, and tons of toys, made it an easy decision. I didn’t think one could achieve home from home environment that’s stimulating and full of learning opportunities at the same time however Helen and Nick has managed it exceptionally. In their care, our son has grown from a very timid lockdown little baby boy into a confident toddler that surprised me every day he came home with new skill or new knowledge or even adorable piece of art (or even a cupcake). I was also really grateful for the regular updates and photos Helen shared during the day so I knew how much fun our boy was having. We have moved away and with heavy heart we had to change the child care however we are forever grateful to Helen and Nick for all their love and care they have shown to our little boy.

My daughter has been attending for 7 months now, she settled in instantly and absolutely loves it. Helen & Nick are experienced, reliable, caring, professional & friendly and provide a great home from home environment for the kids.
They regularly organise day trips as well as plenty of fun activities indoors. Helen always keeps us updated during the the day and sends lots of photos.
From day one, we’ve felt that our little one was safe, cared for and happy, I feel we are really lucky to have found Helen & Nick and would highly recommend their services.

Helen looked after both my daughters for 2 years, until we moved areas and unfortunately had to say goodbye. I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for childcare. My girls adored going to her house and really felt like part of her family.
