Our two children were looked after by Helen one afternoon a week for the past 18 months. Helen makes everyone feel welcome and at home and she is able to cater for a wide age range of children at the same time. It was great knowing our children would be so well fed and looked after in a happy, caring and safe home environment. When our children liked different foods, Helen would always cook a variety of things to ensure all the children ate well. She would often take them to the park after school and encourages the children to play games together. Helen manages the behaviour of the children excellently, never shouting and always being firm but fair.

Alysa (age 9) said "Helen is fun and funny and always makes me smile."
Jamie (age 11) said "Helen is nice and is always there for us."

Jamie is Autistic (High Functioning) and really enjoyed playing with and helping to look after the toddlers in the house. Although sometimes he wanted to be on his own and Helen would always be understanding to Jamie's honesty and arrange for Jamie to have some time in another room.

We would definitely recommend Helen as an outstanding childminder.
