About Me

I am Helen Karreman (EY541291) and my setting is Helen's Home Childcare. I am located on Springwood - convenient for the QE Hospital, Montessori Nursery, Gaywood Primary and St Martha's. I provide a warm, friendly home environment in which your child can grow and develop. We go out most mornings - attending local groups, local attractions, or visiting the library.

My Experience

I have 4 children of my own, aged 22, 20, 16 and 8 - two are at University, one at Springwood High School and one at Gaywood Primary. I taught in local Primary Schools for 16 years and then registered as a Childminder in January 2017. Ofsted Good - Feb 2019.

A recent inspection report highlights the nurturing environment and focus on child development at this childcare setting. Close emotional bonds create a secure atmosphere, with encouragement for social skills, language development, and physical activities. The childminder introduces new vocabulary and supports children's routines. Safeguarding measures are effective, with up-to-date child protection training. However, there is room for improvement in promoting critical thinking skills.

I left a message for Helen a few days before arriving in Kings Lynn for an impromptu job offer. From the moment she called me I was sorted. My daughter was made to feel very welcome and she loved it

I can’t thank her enough for being there for us every step of the way as I settled in.

A definite recommend!
