When I returned to work my little girl was 6 months old. Helen made the transition a million times easier as my daughter settled straight away.

Freya is now nearly 2 and adores going to Helen's. I know each day the only problem I'll face is collecting her as she always wants to stay.

Helen is exceptionally kind to Freya and makes her feel secure and happy. She engages her in a wide range of creative and fun activities (including trips to the park or farm). Freya also makes good progress at Helen's with physical, social and verbal development.

Sadly we are moving away in the summer. I know Freya will miss Helen and the other children she cares for. We would be exceptionally lucky if we found as good a childminder when we move.
