Helping Hands was a great choice of daycare for my daughter. As a first-time mum, I was obviously anxious about sending my child to daycare and leaving her with people I didn't know. But my fears were soon quashed as the staff were so open, helpful and friendly. They let me see her settle before I left for work and if need be I was able to phone them to check in that she did settle ok. I was further reassured when I arrived later to collect her when I saw how happy she was playing away. The facilities were great. A lovely, spacious, bright building with great learning resources and a fantastic outside area for the kids. Good educational learning activities providing the kids to learn and grow. And a handy accessible car park. I was really happy with the care Helping Hands provided for my daughter.
Thank you so much for your very kind review! We are delighted that you found the transition into nursery life reassuring and that your daughter settled so quickly. I will pass your kind comments on to our fantastic staff!
Excellent support. Approachable and welcoming. Been extremely helpful with amended food menus and times for eating. Children love the creative activities. Have recommended to other parents. Also good in telling about holidays etc.
Thank you for your wonderful review! The staff work tirelessly to provide a home-from-home experience and all meals are home cooked to enable us to cater for all dietary requirements where at all possible. The management and staff will be delighted to hear such positive feedback.
All of the staff are so nurturing and supportive and they provide her with so much care, attention and positivity.
I have always found all staff to be very communicative, and very helpful and understanding of my daughter's needs and extra support she needs.
I would highly recommend Helping Hands and St. Colman After-School to anyone looking for a nursery in the area and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and happy environment for my daughter.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! All the staff at Helping Hands pride themselves on providing a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment for all our children and families. I'm delighted to hear you and your daughter's experience has been so positive.
Helping Hands is an absolutely fantastic daycare! My child absolutely loves their time at Helping Hands. All the staff are lovely and welcoming and it is clear that they are passionate about their jobs. The developmental steps that my child has been helped along in Helping Hands have been wonderful and we cannot thank or recommend them enough!
Thank you for your wonderful review! As always we are so grateful for the positive feedback and will pass it on to our fantastic team.
We are so happy with the care our boys receive at Helping Hands. From the early days in the baby room through to preschool wraparound we have always been impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of each and every staff member. The nursery is very clean. They carry out a wide range of activities with the children and our boys love it there. One of our sons has a severe allergy and the staff have been excellent in terms of providing alternatives for him and keeping him safe. Thank you!
Thank you for your fantastic review! As always it is a pleasure to provide a service to our wonderful families and know that it is appreciated. Your very kind words will be passed on to the team.
I could not recommend them enough, they really are a great team and all the staff are just brilliant.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! Our staff work very hard to ensure a safe and caring environment for all our families and it is a pleasure to pass on this feedback to the staff.
We have loved the nursery from day one. Their care and attention for our child has been amazing. He participates in lots of activities and goes outside very often. With their help he has become so much more confident around others. He was very shy and anxious to be left and they took the time to care for him and ensure he was happy and comfortable. They even put my mind at ease with updates during the day! I would highly recommend the nursery.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, we are delighted that your child has settled so well into nursery life and you have found the daily updates helpful in putting your mind at ease.
The team at Helping Hands is experienced and genuinely caring, having made both of my children feel right at home.
Safe and stimulating environment. The nursery is secure, well-equipped, and focuses on both physical and intellectual development.
Educational excellence. Helping Hands offers a comprehensive curriculum, ensuring kids learn while having fun. Progressing to Nursery and Primary School was made so much easier as a result.
Transparent Communication
Regular updates and reports on my child's activities kept me informed and reassured through the app.
Nutritious meals. The nursery provides balanced meals, catering to various dietary needs.
Helping Hands is a great start for any child due to the caring staff, a safe environment, educational excellence, and a welcoming community. I wholeheartedly recommend it to parents seeking quality childcare.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! such positive feedback encourages all the team at Helping Hands Daycare to feel appreciated for the the job they do. As always we feel very lucky to have such lovely families in the setting.
Very good nursery. Staff are always helpful. My child loves attending. Would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are delighted that your child loves to attend and you are happy with the service we provide. The team will be very grateful for your kind words.
My toddler aged 18 minutes months has been attending Helping Hands for the last 5 months. The staff were amazing from the start helping my daughter settle in and sending me lots of photos and messages about her throughout the day. All the staff are friendly and caring and it really comes across how much they love their jobs and the children they care about. The building is bright, spacious and clean. The outside space is amazing and weather permitting the kids are out twice a day. A fabulous nursery with amazing staff.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted that you felt supported through this difficult transition into nursery life.
There is always lots of bright, colourful art done by the children along the corridors to view as you collect your child and a TV with photo montages just as you come in the door. My children love all of the messy play and outdoor activities in the large playground and forest play area. The countryside setting is also fun for the kids if there are animals or tractors in the fields! We are very happy with our choice of daycare for our children.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! it means so much to everyone at Helping Hands and we appreciate the the feedback.
The staff were great, always smiley and attentive to the children with great communication and updates on the app. Any issues (barely any in the 5/6 years we used them), were addressed and rectified within a day or 2.
They both settled in really quickly and thankfully the only tears really shed was at hometime as they didn't want to leave - this made me so at ease and proved they were genuinely happy and cared for within the environment.
We had excellent support during potty training. The creche was always clean with the smell of homecooked lunch being prepped.
Their outside space is second to none, an absolutely huge space set amongst the fields with tonnes of outdoor toys and activities and separate age-appropriate areas.
I would recommend to anyone struggling to decide on childcare or maybe upset at the thought of leaving their baby for the first time.
Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We feel so lucky to have the families we have at Helping Hands and our team work constantly planning activities to make each learning experience fun for all our little ones.
Fantastic daycare, my son has attended for over a year since he was 9 months old and has absolutely loved it. The staff and facilities are first class, I receive lots of photos and updates daily and they keep their prices as low as possible for the area. The outdoor space is amazing and the kids seem to do a range of different indoor activities daily such as making buns/modeling clay/painting. I have no doubts my son is getting very well looked after and cared for, highly recommend.
Thank you so much we are overwhelmed with the wonderful feedback. We have a fantastic team and our families and children are amazing!
There has been a wide range of activities on offer daily such as arts & crafts, water play, outdoor play and messy play. It’s great to see different activities throughout the week.
We could not be happier with our choice of daycare. We are so glad we chose Helping Hands and couldn’t recommend it enough. A great team!!
Thank you so much for your very kind review, our team will greatly appreciate such positive feedback and we are delighted that as a family you have had a happy and supportive experience during your transition into nursery life.
My two children have attended Helping Hands, over a period of 7 years, both since they were 10 months old. It has been a big part of our lives over that time and I couldn’t imagine them going anywhere else. They absolutely love it. The nursery is bright, clean and well maintained with a huge secured outdoor play area. The staff are also fantastic and very dedicated to the children, evident in the strong bonds they develop with them. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review it is so very appreciated. I will certainly pass on your comments to the staff and management. It is always a pleasure to be able to offer them such positive feedback. Many thanks.
Our son has been going to this day nursery since he was 10 months old. Now he is 7 years old and attends their afterschool club. He is physically disabled and has been cared for and supported by all the staff throughout his time there and the level of care they have provided has been excellent. He loves being part of the Helping Hands family as he has been able to grow in confidence with able-bodied children around him who are taught to treat him as their equal. We love all the staff there and highly recommend any child to attend this care provider. Our son will continue to stay with them until he is too old to attend. Which we do not look forward to.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It has always been a pleasure and a privilege to take care of your son. He is loved by both the staff and his peers. It is hard to believe that seven years have passed so quickly.
A lovely little nursery that has helped my son to grow and learn with others in his age group. Definitely a great first step to my son's education and personal development. I would highly recommend Helping Hands Daycare to other parents and carers.
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete a review. Your views help us improve our service and also assist prospective parents in making informed decisions about their children's daycare needs.
My kids (3 year old and 1 year old) are both very happy at Helping Hands and settled in really quickly. I get a lot of updates on the app and the staff are always happy to chat with me if I have any questions. They really care about the well-being of my children. They have a huge outdoor play area which is fantastic.
Thank you so much for your review. Your feedback means so much to all of us at Helping Hands.
Both have great experiences.
The staff are dedicated to making sure children enjoy learning and play. Everyone is very friendly and goes out of their way to help.
Both my children benefited socially and developmentally from attending Helping Hands.
Thank you so much for your review. Your feedback is invaluable to us in improving the service we provide.
