Helen started looking after our daughter from 7 months old and she is now almost 2.5 years old. She has been absolutely wonderful with Maggie and has become a very important part of our lives. Helen has such a lovely connection with all of the children she looks after and it is clear how much she cares about them. Maggie is incredibly confident and easy going and I think a lot of this is down to the secure and stimulating environment Helen has created for the children. Helen has a great house with a garden which the kids all seem to love. They also go on trips every day, giving the kids a chance to explore the outdoors and do more socialising. My husband and I are in full time work and Helen has been incredibly flexible and reliable. I don't know how we would have coped without her, especially throughout this challenging time.
Helen's experience and relaxed nature has given me (and continues to) so much confidence as a new Mum. We are both so chuffed that Maggie was able to start childcare with a childminder. We love that she moved from our home to another comfortable home setting and that she has time with children of various ages. I hope the relationships she has formed with all of the children as well as Helen will continue for many years.
