Helen Howes Private Day Nurseries

Our daughter started attending this nursery back in 2020, (age 2½) due to moving from a different nursery. She enjoyed trips out to the shops, local park etc, which she'd never experienced at her previous setting. She loved her time there and while she only attended for a short time, the staff were always so welcoming towards her, like she'd always been there. Fast forward to now, our son (20 months) has been attending since September last year. He settled in so quickly and loves his time there! He has such a wonderful relationship with his key worker and all the staff have been fantastic with him. The communication is great, regular updates and seem to actually take a genuine interest in each child's development. They provide constant fun, creative activities for the children and wonderful photo updates regularly for us too! Thank you all for your love and care towards both my babies

Keep it up guys. You're all amazing. Thank you xx

We honestly can't recommend Helen Howes Nursery enough. Knowing that our daughter has been surrounded by such a supportive, caring, and inspiring team has given us so much peace of mind, and we couldn't have asked for a better start to her early years.

Cannot recommend them highly enough !

I cannot recommend the nursery enough, the girls who work there could never possibly be equaled! The love and care they have truly felt towards both of my babies has been amazing. To feel that your child is happy and loved when you're back at work and they aren't with you is so important and as a first time mum I was petrefied to leave my babies with women who were essentially strangers but those strangers quickly became our village and both my children absolutely love nursery.

Me and my son have had such a lovely experience with this nursery. From the day he first started at just under 1 years old to turning 4, the staff have been so kind, welcoming, and loving. It's clear to see that they genuinely care about the children. I have always felt so reassured leaving them in the hands of the ladies at Helen Howes. It is exactly what you would want for your child and more! I would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you so much x

Lovely family-run nursery, that cares for individual children's needs and listens to parents views and opinions. Both my children have attended Helen Howes, my eldest now goes to school but my 15-month-old baby attends currently and both had an absolutely outstanding early education experience. The nursery practitioners go above and beyond to ensure positive outcomes and the children's mental well-being is at the heart of everything they do.

My son is currently 18 months old, and every day at nursery he takes part in various activities all of which are helping develop him. A huge thank you to all the staff for your reassurance and the friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

My children have been attending Helen Howes Private Day Nurseries for just over a year now. It has been and continues to be a fantastic experience for them. They have both grown in confidence and have each made significant developmental progress during their time there which has in no doubt been due to the care and diligence of the wonderful team at the nursery. The team are always incredibly friendly and very eager to help with any stages of my children's growth such as supporting them with speech development and/or potty training. Both my children are incredibly happy there and this is reflected in the relationships they each have with their key workers and room teams.

Our son has been going to Helen Howes since he was 15 months old. We have been delighted with the care provided since day one. The staff are caring, engaging and clearly love the children. The nursery has undergone many improvements in the last couple of years and is a bright, colourful, fun environment for all the children. There is an emphasis on play and learning and development. We will very much miss the nursery when he goes to school in September.

Outstanding nursery - both our children have grown in confidence since starting at Helen Howes Private Day Nurseries which we greatly feel is linked to the fantastic staff. Our children ask to go to nursery on a weekend, they love it that much.

My daughter started pre-school just before her 3rd birthday. She was very emotional and was reluctant to go after been cared for by grandparents. All the Helen Howes staff were fantastic - their caring nature helped her grow in confidence. She now goes with a big smile, looking forward to the fun-filled day ahead. They have a lovely family feel and all the staff know the children. The activities and environment are great but the best aspect is the nurture of the children. Staff communicate very well and report back at the end of each day. I would highly recommend the pre-school to any parent.

My twins love going to Helen Howes! The staff are all fantastic, they take a really interest in everything the boys do and clearly know them well when reporting back to me at the end of each day.

This is a brilliant nursery with caring and fun staff. Our 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 children have really enjoyed their time at Helen Howes and we feel confident in the owner, her daughters, and their staff. They set a family and friendly tone and take a genuine interest in each child. Our children have had great experiences (visits from reptiles, visits from a drama group, baking), have learnt about sharing, grown in confidence and made firm friends with other children.

Our first child attended Helen Howes until she left for school, she was definitely prepared for school and had been looked after so much by the staff here. We decided to send our second child here as we’d had such a good experience the first time round. My second child absolutely loves the nursery. 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.

All 3 of my children have attended Helen Howes - my son was very sad to leave when it was time to go to school! I’ve always felt confident leaving the children there as they absolutely love the staff and looked forward to going. The nursery arrange lots of little field trips to the local park (and occasionally further afield) which is great, and they have helped my daughter master her letters - she confidently writes her own name now which is brilliant. The nursery definitely deserves its Oustanding rating.

We are lucky to have this facility on our doorstep.

Absolutely brilliant. My little boy started here when he was 2 years old. He cried all the time and the staff are so reassuring and caring with him. He is now so happy to go to nursery. I put my older two into a different one and let’s just say I so regretted it after seeing these fabulous staff do so much more. Thank you so much to you all.

All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. My son has been there for nearly a year now and absolutely loves it. He has come on so much learning new skills, and when I drop him off I know he is in safe hands.

Our daughter has attended Helen Howes since the age of 10 months. She 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 happy, confident and intelligent child thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff. Nursery is a fun, safe and educational environment and our child comes home with a big smile at the end of each day with lots of stories to tell about her day in nursery. We are about to have our second child and would not send him/her to any other nursery.
