It's hard to explain how wonderful I think Helen is in a few short paragraphs. I think my son Ethan says it all when he tells me 'I love Helen, I love her a million,' and he does. The relationship between a child and their childminder is so important and something I as a mum definitely worried about the most. I needn't of worried! Helen and Ethan have a great relationship and I too am nagged about outings with the gang during holidays! Special mention also to Helen's lovely family who Ethan adores and who play with him so brilliantly.

Not only is Helen friendly,flexible, helpful and thoughtful but she is really brilliant at what she does; looking after, engaging and caring for children. Ethan bounces on the trampoline, ices biscuits, plays games and that's just in an afternoon!

During a recent change in my routine, my 4 year old was a little bit sad and not his usual self. Not only did Helen notice these slight changes in a child she had only known a few weeks, but she raised the matter quickly with me and wanted to ensure all his needs were being met. This real care for both his physical and emotional needs was a real comfort and confirmed what I already knew, I had found a very special childminder..:-) .

I cannot reccomend Helen highly enough.
