My now 4 year old son has been with Helen and Jo since he was 10 months old. They have been absolutely fantastic childminders and were his extended family. Both Jo and Helen love our son and this is obvious in how they speak to him and always give him cuddles. We wanted a Childminder that would love and care for him and we totally lucked out with Helen and Jo.

His development throughout the years has been supported by these wonderful ladies and their activities, while at the same time instilling positive boundaries.

They are always out and about with the children, whether it be to the farm, the zoo, the park or out for walks in the woods, there’s no opportunity to get bored! They also helped to support my little boys interest in animals and nature with big hunts and simply by having very friendly pets.

It has also been lovely to have my son in a setting with different age ranges so that he could interact and make lots of friends. He has grown into a confident and caring little person due in no small part we are sure to Helen and Jo’s influence. He has made friends with children from Helen’s that I hope will last now that he has moved on to school.

It has been a wrench to leave this wonderful setting and we hope to keep in contact which I think is testament to how amazing these women are. Thank you so much!!
