We continue to grow and expand our Helping Hands Childcare family...
It’s hard to believe that we started the business by providing a childminding service from our own home back in in 2008! Since then we have worked really hard to grow the business and constantly improve the service we offer. In January of 2023 we opened our brand-new premises for Helping Hands Out of School & Holiday Club and our Daycare Nursery for 0-5 year old children in Silksworth. More recently, we have opened a larger second site in Pennywell in October 2024.
We have since taken on new staff members and lots of new children as we continue to expand our Helping Hands Childcare family!

Daycare Nursery

We are open 50 weeks of the year between the hours of 7.00am and 6.00pm. As we are a registered day care setting, we can offer 15 and 30 hours funded sessions and non-funded sessions with a minimum 3-day policy. We have a dedicated team, all with a variety of experience and qualifications to support and nurture your children.
