"When I met Helen I felt that I had found the right person and environment for my son. Helen is always extremely professional and this is reflected in her outstanding Ofsted report and booklet she provides about herself. I feel that I am extremely lucky to have found a childminder who takes such a professional approach to her work…… Helen is extremely flexible and will try to accommodate a working mother’s needs. She totally understands the anxiety of a parent, and therefore offers settling in days and phone calls to ease the transition of going back to work.
I have no hesitation of highly recommending Helen as a childminder, they will be in very good hands."
Holly, Miles’ mum
"Helen has always been very professional, cheerful and accommodating in all her dealings with us. Our daughter has adjusted very well being with Helen, is always happy to see her and greets her with a huge smile everyday which, in itself, speaks volumes of Helen’s childcare practices, methods and principles."
Moira, Sarah’s mum
"The transition from full-time Mum to working Mum was a very emotional journey and it was made so very much easier by the fact that our son seemed immediately happy and settled. There was never any upset from him about being separated from me, and there was absolutely no change or disruption in his behaviour and happy disposition, which spoke volumes about his happiness and sense of security. Helen was very kind and understanding with me during that transition period and showed great insight into what I was going through too."
Sharon, Owen’s mum
"I am so pleased that I found you. Your relaxed approach has had such a positive effect upon our son. I am so impressed with how he is progressing and hope to place our next child with you."
Claire, Ollie’s mum
"…One snippet from your last Ofsted report that really stood out for me when I was searching for a childminder, was their comment that "Childminding is clearly her vocation". I read many Ofsted reports while I was searching for a childminder however only yours had that particular accolade and it really stood out."
Lou, Ellie’s mum
