My daughter Maia now 3 and a 1/2 just recently left Helen's care as I am on maternity leave again having been there since she was 7 months old.

Helen has been a fantastic childminder. My daughter has grown into a polite and independent girl more than ready to start school in September aged 4 and 1 month. Helen provided an amazing, warm home environment for Maia. We worked so well together as a team raising her together and went through all the trials and tribulations of toddlers from tantrums to potty training. Helen became and always will be a huge part of Maia's life and was always there to help and support me through the difficult days of being a commuting Mum with a welcoming cup of tea. We feel so incredibly lucky to have met Helen and her lovely family. From a practical side Helen does loads with the kids with trips out all over the place. Maia talks about her time with Helen and the other kids every day and misses her cooking.. as she reminds me every mealtime!
