I am based in Frecheville S12 area and in addition to early years I offer before and after care for children who attend RIDGEWAY PRIMARY SCHOOL. I have a dedicated playroom where the children can choose their own activities.

I take every opportunity to take the children out into nature and regularly visit parks, playgrounds and farms where we feed the ducks.

I am a single parent of 4 beautiful children, aged 23, 22, 18 and 13 (2020). I live in Frecheville, S12 a 5 minute drive away from Ridgeway Primary School. I have 2 friendly poodle cross dogs (so they should be allergy friendly) who we regularly walk. I have been childminding since 2016 and deliver a loving, flexible, personal childcare service.

“Helen is a fantastic childminder. She is kind and caring and my son is very happy when he is in her care. She is organised, reliable and her attention to safeguarding is superb. I would highly recommend Helen’s childcare service”.

I have been busy keeping up-to-date with the Governmental changes required during this Coronavirus crisis and can ensure you that I have put all measures and procedures in place to keep your little ones as safe as possible during this time. I understand you will probably have worries about the implications and how the virus will affect your child’s care, so please give me a call so I can alleviate any concerns you may have.

I have a dedicated playroom which, even during the Coronavirus crisis, still has lots of resources for your child to choose from, downstairs toilet and an outdoor play area.

Unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus crisis, I will not be participating in the following activities until it is safe for us to do so, however will make the best use of my outdoor play area and local open field in the meantime. In addition to the facilities at my setting I also attend a large number of regular groups including local playgroups, sing-along with Martin at Small Voices, Big Noises, storytime at the local library and a soft play morning at the indoor play centre. I frequently go on outings to Heeley City Farm, Graves Park and other local playgrounds and parks were we feed the ducks.

“Our 2 girls have been with Helen for about 3 years and absolutely adore her (to the point they miss her when we are on holiday!). I am always safe in the knowledge they are well cared for while I am at work”.

I will be keeping your little one safe at this time, by increasing hygiene procedures and the cleaning of resources and high touch surfaces. If your child becomes upset I will comfort them – social distancing needs to be carefully balanced with the needs and welfare of your child – no child will be left crying.

I offer, by the hour, childcare to babies and children aged 0-5 years old.

I can provide drop-off and collection from Ridgeway Primary School and Ridgeway Under 5’s Preschool.

I am accredited by Sheffield City Council to deliver the FEL for qualifying 2 year olds and funded learning of 15/30 hours for 3 and 4 year olds.
