Helen has looked after my little boy from the age of 1 until he started school this September. He was always excited about going to Helen's and looked forward to all the things she had planned for him. I loved how their days were so varied from visiting toddler groups and play gyms to walks in the park and visiting farms. Abel particularly enjoyed their baking afternoons! Helen always supported us when we were moving through different changes such as potty training, and she has always encouraged him to learn and develop from putting on his own coat and shoes to learning numbers and colours etc. I have always felt relaxed and happy leaving Abel, and always enjoyed getting little updates and photos about what they were up to. Helen is an amazing childminder and we can't thank her enough for giving Abel a wonderful start, he is settled in at school and is a happy sociable little boy which Helen played a massive part in developing! He is going to miss Helen and her little boy lots.

I have a 2 year old boy, who tends to be a little clingy and shy. I tried 3 Nanny’s, none of whom my son settled with, before taking him to Helen’s. I loved the homely environment and small circle of children in Helen’s care, who were playing happily together. Amazingly, my son soon settled with Helen. Although there were a few tears when I left him initially, Helen always texted and sent photos to let me know how he was doing. Her communication is excellent and I have always been able to text her and check on my son, if I have wondered how he was getting on. Helens other great strength is that she always gets the children out and about - my son loves his visits to play gyms, farms, toddler groups and singing! He is always excited to tell me where he has been and what he has been doing!
My son has grown in confidence and has formed close friendships with the other children, whilst in Helen’s care. Far from feeling guilty for having to go to work and leave him, I have noticed how beneficial his time with Helen has been for him. I have a happy little boy who looks forward to going each day - I am so grateful to Helen for making the transition of going back to work, so easy for me!
I would definitely highly recommend Helen - I am very glad I found her. A first class childminder for sure!

Helen was our childminder for 2 years before my daughter went to school in September. Isabella loved to go to Helen’s and still talks about going back now. Since being with Helen Isabella’s confidence, expressiveness and communication skills came on leaps and bounds. Helen took Isabella our regularly to meet with others Childminders and their children which enabled Isabella to develop her interpersonal skills and be confident playing with her peers. Helen always cooked nutritious meals and managed to get Isabella to be far more agreeable to eating vegetables than we were ever able to. Helens home is a lovely warm setting with a family feel which nurtures the children in her care. I would not hesitate to recommend Helen to any other parent considering a childminder.

My little boy went to Helen for 2 years from being 10 months and loved it. He was always happy to see her and I was happy to leave him as he was never upset and I knew he was getting looked after properly. Helen always took him places such as play groups and did lots of different educational activities with him at home. She was always helpful and accomadating
She always made sure the children in her care had good healthy food and snacks.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone she is a great childminder !
We still see Helen about and he loves to go and give her a hug ,his face lights up when he sees her . Can't recommend Helen enough !

We visited a number of Childminder’s when searching for one for our daughter who was 7 months at the time. We instantly fell in love with Helen! She is so caring and considerate with our daughter and us as first time parents! Our daughter Phoebe adores Helen - always a big smile on her face when we knock on her door! Helen provides an amazing home setting for Phoebe, with plenty of books and activities. She has a very busy social life for a now 10 month old - play gym, toddler groups and music and singing class to name a few! I honestly cannot praise Helen enough! We get messages everyday and pictures which just show the fun Phoebe has! Helen is so accommodating when I have meetings after work and always provides Phoebe with healthy meals! We couldn’t recommend her more!

Helen had both my sons from babies. They have been going with her for 4 years and loved every minute. They had a wonderful bond with Helen which was very reassuring to see when I had to go to work. Helen was reliable and flexible making life very easy. My boys have now gone to school from September and miss her very much. Wonderful lady, professional but friendly and so welcoming making my boys feel at ease and safe. highly recommend Helen

Helen has been looking after our little boy for over a year now an we couldn't be happier with her. Our boy absolutely loves Helen and both her boys and he's always pleased to see her an excited to go. Helen often takes them on little outings which gives him the chance to socialise an interact with lots of different children. Helen is extremely reliable and is wonderful with all the children in her care would highly recommend her she has made leaving our boy on my return to work so much easier.
