Helping Hands Childminders are the best childminders in the world and we love them so much!
Our little girl had an awful start to her childcare journey not settling at nursery at all at 2 years. 
She then came to Sharon and Tony and the amount of work and care and love and effort they have put into her settling and development  is astonishing. 
She is leaving in April (she is 3 now) to start a pre - school next to her school and we are absolutely gutted that she has to leave! She is now a very confident and forward little girl ready to take on the next challenges!
She has learnt SO much there: counting, colors, her speech, understanding and ability to interact with adults and children has developed immensely, and most of all she has learnt impeccable manners. We get comments daily on how amazingly polite and well spoken she is. And that is down to Sharon and Tony and their lovely team. They cater for each individual child's need with time and effort tailored to each of them. 
The kids have so many activities within which they also learn, such as mixing colors, baking, Christmas and Halloween special, colors of each season - the list is endless! 
And most of all the have SO MUCH FUN every day and feel safe, looked after and cared for in the safe and secure and impeccably clean house, which is also so homely and inviting.
The outdoor area is outstanding; full of activities and fun stuff for the kids. They grow their own vegetables, play and learn in the playhouse, play in the sandpit or on the swings or the climbing frames Tony is constantly updating the play area so there is always new things for them to do. It couldn’t be better!
Chelsea and Chanel work there alongside Sharon and Tony and they are all so helpful, kind, warm and knowledgeable. The communication is AMAZING too and Sharon sends pictures and videos throughout the day of Ruby’s fun moments, which we love.
She also updates daily throughout the day of learning and activities, what food has been served, how ruby has been in the day etc. So we know each evening what her day has been like. 
Anyone who gets a space at Helping Hands is very very lucky and you will not want to leave.
