My little boy has been a honeybee since December 2019, it’s the best choice we have ever made. Helen doesn’t only look after our boy she loves him, cares for him and goes above and beyond for him. This isn’t a job to Helen this is her heart and sole. Helen and her family Ben Jess & Ryan have made Henry part of their family. He walks into their house like it’s his own, they all welcome him with hugs and smiles and play with him without a second thought. Helen keeps us updated daily with Hens progression and goes out of her way to set up play areas in each child’s interests for that day. All the honeybees have such a good relationship with each other and are a little family. Most days we don’t get a goodbye as he walks in Helen’s door never mind a kiss or a cuddle. If we see Helen in the park with other honeybees or on school runs they will both run into each other’s arms and it’s heart warming to see the bond they have, you really couldn’t ask for anything better than this setting for your little one. We will be keeping Henry a honeybee instead of sending him to school nursery in the new year as we know he won’t get the love care or attention at nursery he does with Helen. Nothing is ever to much trouble for Helen and we can’t thank her enough for all that she does for our boy. Including leaving her home and family on a Friday evening to help with a medical emergency for my boy. You really won’t find a better childminder.

My little girl was born in lockdown and therefore she is scared of anyone and anything new. She started with Helen two days a week, by the second week she went to Helen without hesitate, in fact she waved me off saying bye and giggling.
Helen is the most wonderful, gentle, kind and caring person. She absolutely adores all of her little Honeybees AND IT SHOWS, they all love her too.
Helen is very flexible in her approach to her work and will do what best suits the needs of her Honeybees. She adapts play on a daily basis but is always lead by the children. Their interests are fully focused on and encouraged by Helen.
Helen sends home a daily journal which myself and my husband love to read, it is great to hear about what our little girl has been doing and her development. Helen also sends messages throughout the day with pictures of what she is doing and this brightens my day up no end at work. The communication from Helen is second to none.
Ben, Jess and Ryan are also great with my little girl too. I love that she loves them and is happy and confident to go to them.
I cannot recommend this setting enough, your child becomes part of their family, what more could you want.

Well returning to work following 12 months off work was very daunting however Helen could not have been more understanding. I would highly recommend her 1. Because my daughter has come on amazingly since she started 2. My daughter worships not only Helen but all her family as well.
Helen offers a home from home childcare and my daughter looks forward to going every week.
I would not have anyone else look after my little girl.

My son has come on leaps and bounds being under this superwomans care! He was apprehensive about leaving me when he started his longer hours at nursery!.. helen treats my son like her own and he often tells me how much he misses her when he is off for long lengths of time. She is a very helpful lovely woman with a lovely family of her own who have taken my son on :-)...
He has made lots of friends whilst playing and learning at honeybees... her dedicated playroom and learning environment is better than any ive seen! I love the fact that i get a little book to send mesaages between myself and helen about what my son has been upto whilst with her other nurseries i have not had this which is a pet hate of mine as i like to know what hes eaten etc so i can keep and eye on him. Helen provides lovely meal choices to although my son is a fussy eater she helps in every way she can!
She has got him ready for school in september and i dont want him to ever leave honeybees he loves helen!
Helen has helped my son with his writing and spelling his name ready for school! I honestly cannot reccomend this lady enough i couldnt get my son in a first as she was so busy, but when one came available i snapped her hand off!
Would give 5000 stars to this lady hats off to her she is definatley passionate about her job as it shows through the love and care she gives the children thank you helen! X

We seriously cannot recommend Helen, her beautiful family & her 'little honeybees' enough!
We have five boys and we needed a childminder for our youngest, having never used paid childcare we were very nervous about this but thankfully found Helen :-D
She is like a second Mum (but a far more organised and patient one! Haha) & has endless good ideas and fun activities. Her home is a safe, fun space that my son absolutely adores. In my opinion, the best thing about Helen though is her flexibility, approachability & love. She LOVES her little charges & it shows...... We are indebted to her and would recommend without hesitation! <3

My daughter has been with Helen’s honeybees for over 2 years and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect childminder. From fun arts and crafts to muddy walks to preparing for school my daughter has has loved everything she has done as one of the honeybees.
