I have had the privilege of entrusting my three children to Nicci's exceptional care over the past 21 years, and I cannot speak highly enough of her. From my eldest, now 21 years old, to my two younger children, aged 6 and 4, Nicci has consistently provided a loving, nurturing, and safe environment. Her unwavering commitment to their well-being, coupled with her high-ranking qualifications, has ensured each child’s individual needs are met with exceptional care. Nicci’s genuine affection and protective nature have always given me peace of mind, knowing my children are in the best possible hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Nicci to any parent seeking outstanding childcare; her dedication and exceptional care are truly one-of-a-kind.

I couldn’t recommend Nicci enough. From the day my son started he absolutely loved her. Nicci is such a caring loving and kind childminder. I am also really impressed with the development of my son within the first 2 weeks of being with Nicci he was able to articulate himself much clearer. He loves going to her and never crys when I leave him.

We found Nicci to be excellent in all areas in caring for our son when he was 2 years of age.
Very reliable and always willing to help as much as possible and provide advice and development.
Would very much recommend Nicci’s services and hope to continue to be able to use Nicci going forward alongside nursery also.

I can't recommend Nicci enough. She is reliable, very professional yet such a maternal and sweet person. She made it easy for us to trust and leave our baby for the first time outside the home under her care. We had an excellent communication report about our son’s routine and development. She is transparent and honest. We are very grateful to her.

I have known Nicci for a number of years, I fully trust her with my child. After having my youngest child with special needs I needed some one I could trust and Nicci was that person. She has gone over and above for my boys, she is child centred, kind and reliable. Nicci is a fantastic child minder

Nicci looked after my little boy from months old til he was 3 when we moved out of the area , she was an amazing help throughout his early years as I had gone back to work pretty soon , as a young first time mom it was great to have someone with years of experience looking after him , he loved being there and learned so much from her .. I definitely recommend her service

Nicci has minded my son since 2018, and has been absolutely amazing! I couldn’t have juggled work and university commitments, assignments, meetings and travelling without the peace of mind that my son is safe and happy and cared for in my absence.
Nicci has been an absolute saviour and has been very flexible and accommodating, due to the nature of my work, at times I had needed to contact Nicci at short notice to care for my son, and she is always there to reassure and support me and my son.
I literally cannot recommend Nicci highly enough.

My eldest daughter joined when she turned 3. Its been 5 months now and she can write her name independently, identify and write the numbers 1-5, draw her shapes and much more. This is what I truly call learning through play! She is really passionate about what she does and the personal care plans for my girls is amazing.
I am greatful for the recommendation!

Nicci has looked after my two children from babies to pre-school/primary.
She is a wonderful childminder, she is kind, caring and supportive towards the children's needs. The environment is well prepared and the set up is lovely and clean.
Thank you Nicci for being a wonderful childminder.
