Helena J's 5 Star Reviews

Couldn’t recommend her highly enough!!

We honestly couldn’t recommend Helena highly enough. We sent our daughter to her from just 10 months old, and she stayed for 3 very special years. From the very beginning, we knew she was in the best possible hands.

She absolutely loved going and always came home happy, full of stories and excited to tell us about her day. The care, love and attention she received was incredible, and it was so lovely to see her confidence grow and watch her thrive under Helena’s guidance.

The support with settling her in and helping her through transitions was amazing. Helena’s communication was always fantastic, and we really valued all the advice, updates and reassurance along the way.

The amount of time and effort Helena put into activities, learning and development was brilliant. Our daughter was given such a wide variety of experiences and opportunities, all while being cared for in such a warm, nurturing and homely environment.

Our daughter has made so many lovely memories during her time with Helena, and we will always be incredibly grateful for the part Helena has played in her early years. We were genuinely so sad when it was time to say goodbye.

We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dedicated and wonderful childminder.

Simply the best!

We cannot recommend Helena enough as she has created a warm, safe and loving place for our children to grow and learn. Helena is very knowledgeable and helpful when we have asked for advice.

The range of activities the boys are encouraged to take part in are varied and the updates we receive via WhatsApp and the tapestry app and our diary are useful and are filled with photos of happy smiling boys engaging with the activities in hand. We are also glad the boys take part in walking the school runs and spend days out at parks getting lots of fresh air and mixing with a variety of children of all ages playing happily together.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Helena to any parents considering her. Our first child has been with Helena from 1 yr to 41/2 years, and we were in no doubt that this was the right place for our second child when he arrived. In our view we could not have found better for our two boys.

A gift from god

The title is not an understatement, I was very unsure on whether I would get on using a childminder, as 1st time round we used a nursery, however with my 2nd we decided to research childminders, helena was recommended by a friend and from the moment we met and she showed me around her home I could tell she would be ideal, she is like a 2nd mum to my son and I really cant recommend her enough, she is informative, flexible and she loves her job and the children she looks after they are like 1 big happy family. My son has been with her 2 years and adores going to play, they always have an adventure to a playgroup out walking or activities at home etc, I always receive lots of information on what they've done in the day and how my sons been. I sometimes text for an update and she always responds with the information I need. I really couldn't have gone back to work if I didnt feel my son was being given the type of care I would expect him to reveive. He receives that and more... she even has my 7 yr old when schools shut or occasionally over half term and she loves going to play. Helena will try and accommodate where she can and over the last 2 years my family have had ups and downs and helena has really helped us out. I have no issue in recommending Helena, you really wont regret it, in fact you need her in your life!
