About Me

Hi, I'm Helen Patrick a registered childminder graded Outstanding by Ofsted in my first inspection in 2009 and Outstanding again in 2015.

I live in Basingstoke with my husband, daughter aged 14, son aged 12, our bearded dragons Brian and Doris, one year old chocolate labrador Maxi and our assortment of tropical fish.

I have worked in a variety of childcare settings including creches, small and large day nurseries starting off as a nursery nurse and working up nursery manager.  I became a nanny when I had my daughter which later led on to me becoming a childminder.

January 2014 I had a large purpose built playroom added to my home and an all weather under cover decking area, making outside play accessible all year.
