About Us

We are here to help you raise happy and healthy children

In January 2023, we changed from Helping Hands Childminders to Helping Hands Daycare when we became a registered nursery in our brand-new premises in Silksworth. We now have an additional premises in Pallion.

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.

It’s hard to believe that we started back in 2008 from our own home! Since then we’ve worked hard to grow the business and improve the services we offer.
