About us

Hi, I’m Hannah the Lead Educator and owner here at Helping Hands Childminding. I have worked in childcare for over 8 years, during this time I gained a Level 3 and 5 qualification as an Early Years Educator and to support children with Communication and Language in the early years. I also have a wide range of experience from working in a nursery setting, as a private nanny and now as a childminder. I am also now a Mummy to my lovely little boy. I started Helping Hands with a vision of being different, I wanted to come away from brightly coloured over stimulating environments, busy routines and spending ridiculous amounts of time completing paperwork instead of spending vital time with the children. I wanted to simplify and slow down routines, create a neutral home like environment which makes children feel, relaxed, calm and happy. I wanted to ensure the children are always our priority, reducing paperwork to allow our educators to have the necessary time to play, build relationships and supporting the children’s learning and development. I wanted educators to be intentionally teaching during child led moments rather than waiting for planned activities. I wanted to offer rich learning activities and experiences, ensuring children have hands on learning experiences in the real world. I wanted to offer a curriculum that is tailored to each child’s individual needs and which supports the children to learn key life skills. I have seen my vision come to life through Helping Hands Childminding and I am extremely proud of the high quality care and education we are offering and the impact we are seeing on the lives of our little ones and their families.
