Our son started with Helen and Jo when he was just 3 months old and very sadly will be leaving almost aged 5 in August 2021. As a teacher I knew I was always going to be particular about who looked after our son. Cliche or not I literally just knew when I first met Jo and Helen that they were ideal, what I didn’t realise was how they would quickly become an extended family for our son. They have such an incredible way with children, from caring, listening and understanding to guiding, developing and shaping. Their Instagram account (helenandjo_childcare) will show you some of the play and development activities they do, often centred around a theme which really helps engage and make it memorable. If the school our son was going to was near Helen and Jo there is no way he wouldn’t still be there everyday for after school care. It will be an extremely sad day when he says his final goodbye to Helen and Jo as I couldn’t have asked for better people and they truly have helped raise our son, for that I will be forever indebted! Our son wouldn’t be the little man he is without their care. When looking for a childminder, in my opinion, you won’t find better, they are trustworthy, reliable, experienced, knowledgeable, caring and quite frankly absolute diamonds!
