My two boys ( 4 and 2 ) joined Helen and her assistants in September 2019 after moving from their nursery setting as I was about to start a new job closer to home. This was the first time I had considered a childminder but Helen really helped put my mind at ease.
The boys settled in very quickly and have developed leaps and bounds in all aspects and they love their time here.
My eldest boy really struggled his with some social situations and speech/being understood and he now won't stop talking and is becoming much calmer and accepting. They get to go on trips to the farm and park more often than in a nursery setting and they have both learnt brilliant manners such as please/thank you and washing hands before eating. They are always make things such as painting, cakes and models which they both very much enjoy.
My eldest often makes me go to look at the work all the children have made stuck on the wall.
It's made my life less stressful knowing both of my children are happy and well looked after. In fact very often, they don't want to come home at pick up time!
