Helen has been fantastic for our kids and would wholeheartedly recommend her. She combines the flexibility and convenience of a childminder with the fun and social interaction of a nursery. Her setting is nice and has a garden full of activities for the little ones, but she also takes the kids out and about all the time, which is so great. Communication has always been excellent and very quick. The kids will definitely miss Helen very much and so will we

Helen is an amazing person. She has been a God sent into our lives.
When things got tough with the pandemic she was helpful, caring and flexible with the childcare.
Totally exceed my expectations! 😊
My son loved going to Helen's setting. He had lots of fun and made lots of friends.

We had our 2 year old with Helen for a couple of months but it felt like she had been there for ages. Helen was great with communication and never failed to let us know any necessary information regarding our daughter. She was always excited to go into Helen's setting and she grew tremendously as a result; she started saying more words and got really good at identifying things and asking questions. It was such a bummer when we had to move our daughter out due to relocation. We are still missing Helen's childminding as it's been hard replacing that for our daughter. We would highly recommend Helen's service to any parent wanting a setting for their child where there's definitely an assurance of growth and your peace of mind. Well done Helen and we wish you and your setting well.

Our Son has been going to Helens for many years now and he absolutely loves going. He’s made lots of friends across different ages and genuinely looks forward to going to Helens every time.
Helen provides a variety of activities, both indoor and out and has a highly entertaining and engaging setting.
Helen couldn’t do anymore for our Son and we’d be lost without her. We’re very lucky to have found such a caring, honest and outstanding childminder.

I really can’t recommend Helen highly enough. Our boys were 2 and 3 when they first met Helen. That was nearly 3 years ago. Not one day has gone by when they are not happy and excited to see her. She helped with their learning and development from a young age, providing a wide range of daily activities. I feel entirely comfortable leaving them in her setting, which is safe and welcoming. It’s also a huge help that she cooks them healthy meals and gives them plenty of time outdoors, playing in the garden or taking them to the park.
Helen is professional, knowledge and and an outstanding choice for anyone needing child care.
