September 4, 2024 at 3:24 pmOur kids ask to go to childcare centre on a weekend, they adore it that much. Outstanding childcare centre – both our kids have grown in self‑assurance since starting at Helen Howes Private Day Nurseries which we greatly sense is linked to the remarkable team.

September 15, 2024 at 4:50 pmMy eldest loved coming here (and attends the out of school club upstairs during the holidays!), my youngest is just moving into the pre-school room and is highly excited!
They have also catered for various allergies and dietary requirements –
I would highly suggest! A excellent childcare centre that provides attentive, imaginative care for kids up to school age.

September 16, 2024 at 3:56 amThe team have such a strong relationship with him, I sense as though I am sending him to family for the day because the team go above and beyond to make sure all his needs are met. I myself also sense like part of the family there when I chat to the team as they are highly welcoming and supportive.
My son is currently 18 months old, and every day at childcare centre he takes part in various activities all of which are helping develop him. A huge thank you to all the team for your reassurance and the welcoming and welcoming atmosphere. My son has been attending Helen Howes now for 7 months, and it honestly feels like much longer!

September 30, 2024 at 8:50 amWe decided to send our second kid here as we’d had such a great journey the first time round. My second kid absolutely loves the childcare centre. She is nearly 2, she wanders in with no trouble and I know she is well looked after. I don’t have one negative thing to say. Thank you. Our first kid attended Helen Howes until she left for school, she was definitely prepared for school and had been looked after so much by the team here.

October 6, 2024 at 2:00 pmMy son is now nearly 4, he will be leaving in September, he will miss all the team as he loves going, he has progressed so much since attending! My daughter has just turned one, she has only been there 4 months and she loves it. I travel 10 miles to get there! I could put them near home but they are both cheerful there. Both my kids attend this childcare centre!

October 11, 2024 at 12:28 pmMy son has been there for nearly a year now and absolutely loves it. He has come on so much discovering new skills, and when I drop him off I know he is in secure hands. All the team are so welcoming and welcoming.

December 9, 2024 at 5:51 pmShe is now 4 years old and preparing to start school. We could not be happier with the care our little girl has received, she is a cheerful, confident and intelligent kid thanks to the hard work and dedication of the team. Childcare centre is a enjoyable, secure and educational setting and our kid comes home with a big smile at the end of each day with lots of stories to tell about her day in childcare centre. We are about to have our second kid and would not send him/her to any other childcare centre. Our daughter has attended Helen Howes since the age of 10 months.

January 11, 2025 at 7:32 amHelen Howes private day childcare centre continues to be outstanding in every area. As a parent of a little one that struggles to be away from mum, I can honestly say that my journey, and more importantly, my son’s journey has been truly incredible! The team and management are world class! If you are looking for a childcare centre that offers more than just childcare look no further! The most incredible childcare centre!

January 13, 2025 at 1:23 pmI’ve consistently felt confident leaving the kids there as they absolutely adore the team and looked forward to going. The childcare centre arrange lots of little field trips to the local park (and occasionally further afield) which is excellent, and they have helped my daughter master her letters – she confidently writes her own name now which is exceptional. The childcare centre definitely deserves its Oustanding rating. All 3 of my kids have attended Helen Howes – my son was highly sad to leave when it was time to go to school!

January 29, 2025 at 3:09 amFrom day one it the team helped shape her into the lovely little girl she is today. We’ve never had a day where our daughter has not wanted to go, and she’s made lots of friends there. The team are all exceptional and our daughter has a lot of adore for a few! Childcare centre team are like our daughter’s second parents during the day and they do a damn great job. The Childcare centre fully deserves its outstanding Ofsted status and I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest them to friends and family. Thanks! Our daughter has gone to Helen Howes PDN since she was about 8 months old.

February 1, 2025 at 11:13 amWe can’t begin to express how much the team have done for all four of them, as well as the assistance they have shown to all our family. Our grandchildren are growing into confident, independent, cheerful kids, who are well-liked and achieve all their goals at school. We know that the management and the team at Helen Howes have played an integral role in their development, providing them with a inviting and nurturing setting filled with enjoyable and laughter. The out of school expansion has allowed our family to carry on working without disruption now for 11 years and we can’t thank them enough, they truly are an outstanding provision. The building has recently been undergoing a major refurbishment and is looking incredible, and the finishing touches are almost complete. Thank you to everyone at Helen Howes for all that you do for every kid, we highly suggest this family run business. All our four grandchildren still attend Helen Howes Day Nurseries and Out Of School and Holiday Hub.

February 1, 2025 at 1:25 pmWe have been delighted with the care provided since day one. The team are attentive, engaging and clearly adore the kids. The childcare centre has undergone many improvements in the last couple of years and is a bright, colourful, enjoyable setting for all the kids. There is an emphasis on playtime and discovering and development. We will highly much miss the childcare centre when he goes to school in September. Our son has been going to Helen Howes since he was 15 months old.

February 26, 2025 at 10:29 pmHe runs off happily in the morning and wants to stay when we go to pick him up. Team consistently have time to chat to us as parents and we know he is well looked after and encouraged in his skills development and his interests. The team across the whole childcare centre, management and kitchen know my kid and it’s lovely to have that personal sense. The team truly adore my kid.

March 18, 2025 at 7:07 amMy little boy started here when he was 2 years old. He cried all the time and the team are so reassuring and attentive with him. He is now so cheerful to go to childcare centre. I put my older two into a different one and let’s just say I so regretted it after seeing these fabulous team do so much more. Thank you so much to you all. Absolutely exceptional.

April 15, 2025 at 4:32 amShe was highly emotional and was reluctant to go after been cared for by grandparents. All the Helen Howes team were remarkable – their attentive nature helped her grow in self‑assurance. She now goes with a big smile, looking forward to the enjoyable-filled day ahead. They have a lovely family sense and all the team know the kids. The activities and setting are excellent but the best aspect is the nurture of the kids. Team communicate highly well and report back at the end of each day. I would highly suggest the pre-school to any parent. My daughter started pre-school just before her 3rd birthday.

May 4, 2025 at 2:32 amOur son attended from 11 months to starting school and still enjoys the holiday club. Our daughter has attended from 11 months to present (age 3). Both kids have truly enjoyed their time at Helen Howes and we sense confident in the owner, her daughters, and their team. They set a family and welcoming tone and take a genuine interest in each kid. Our kids have had excellent experiences (visits from reptiles, visits from a drama group, baking), have learnt about sharing, grown in self‑assurance and made firm friends with other kids. This is a exceptional childcare centre with attentive and enjoyable team.

May 29, 2025 at 8:11 pmIt has been and continues to be a remarkable journey for them. They have both grown in self‑assurance and have each made significant developmental development during their time there which has in no doubt been due to the care and diligence of the fantastic team at the childcare centre. The team are consistently incredibly welcoming and highly eager to help with any stages of my kids’s growth such as supporting them with speech development and/or potty training. Both my kids are incredibly cheerful there and this is reflected in the relationships they each have with their key workers and room teams. My kids have been attending Helen Howes Private Day Nurseries for just over a year now.

June 9, 2025 at 1:13 amThe team are all remarkable, they take a truly interest in everything the boys do and clearly know them well when reporting back to me at the end of each day. My twins adore going to Helen Howes!

July 1, 2025 at 8:29 amFrom the day we looked around it was the team that sold the childcare centre to us, they were so interested in the kids, the focus is clearly on them. Having said that all the team have been so easy to get on with and they all take the time to share a conversation upon drop off and pick up. For me, it is an extension of the family because the girls spend so much time there.
The formula clearly works as they are so cheerful to go and when at times this hasn’t been the case, the team have worked with us to help.
We are lucky to have this facility on our doorstep. We have sent our two daughters to Helen Howes since they were both ten months old.
