Helen is without a doubt the best childminder anybody could wish for!
From the day my son started with her she has been incredible. She does so many activities with her Little O's, making them very fun and engaging. My little boy is a big outdoor child and Helen has definitely helped him to learn to ride his balance bike.
There are not enough words to describe just how much of a special and amazing person Helen is.
We will all miss her very much xx

We feel so lucky to have found such an incredible childminder for our son. From the very beginning, Helen has gone above and beyond to create a nurturing, fun, and stimulating environment. Our son has absolutely thrived under her care—his confidence, curiosity, and development have grown so much since being with her.
One of the things we love most about Helen is her passion for getting the children outdoors. Whether it's going on nature walks, exploring local parks, or exciting trips to the zoo, she always finds creative and engaging ways to help them learn and discover the world around them. Her energy, patience, and genuine love for what she does shine through every day.
We couldn’t ask for a better person to look after our little one. She’s truly made a lasting positive impact on our family, and we’re so grateful for everything she does. Our son loves Helen and so do we!!

I was unhappy with the nursery I put my little boy into, so took the huge decision to change childcare providers. I am so glad I put him into the care of Little O's. Helen is amazing, she takes the children on exciting day trips, organises educational activities and encourages learning through play, and independence. My little boy's behaviour improved so much as Helen and I worked together to get the best out of him, and she worked with us to ensure he was potty trained and could put his own shoes on, ready for pre-school. Helen was an amazing support through some of the challenges and it really felt as though she was a part of our family. Moving my little boy to Little O's was absolutely the right choice, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her. She is an amazing childminder and a great second mum to the children in her care, who she treats like members of her own family.
