What Parents Say

I have been so impressed with Michael’s development since he has started at Helitots. His time in the baby room run by Gayle and Verity was a lovely environment for him to settle and the range of activities he gets involved in is impressive. The Staff really helped his transition into the Nursery environment and took into account that I was still breastfeeding and struggling to transition to a bottle. He has recently moved into the Toddlers room where he does baking, a variety of play and lots of other activities,. Amy and Emily are really enthusiastic, he is so happy when I collect him. Michael was able to feed himself early and eats a varied diet, he is well mannered and when we ask him to do something he will listen. We feel this is comes from the Helitots environment where the experienced Staff really nurture, look after him and instil good manners and the correct amount of discipline, they have respect from Michael, and this is mirrored at home. Managed by Steve, who in my opinion is a magician at getting the children to sleep so easily, and has a lovely relationship with all the children, I can’t recommend Helitots enough, I only wish we had sent his older sister to Helitots too!

To ALL staff (past and present) at Helitots, We owe you the biggest thank you. You have helped not just Noah, but Evie & Aerin to grow, develop and become the children they are. When you rely on full time nursery care, where your children often do 40 hour week too, knowing you have a place for them that is safe, fun, educational and all the things in between cannot really be put into words. For the last 6 years their dad, Paul, has worked away so having the stability & familiarity of the nursery and staff has been a life line at times. We will always be grateful for everything you have done for our children. All 3 have been ready for school, are confident, easily make friends and (if we do say so ourselves, although they have there moments!) are pretty great kids. Never underestimate what you do. We always remember our first teachers at school, but it starts way before that and I know we will always remember all those at Helitots who have quite often been there and spent more time with, our children than we have and been there second parents. All the best for the future, you really are outstanding. Love Elle, Paul, Evie, Aerin & Noah xxx
