As a first time Mum, to say I was nervous about putting my baby boy into childcare during a pandemic was an understatement but I needn't have worried - Nic Nic is exceptional. She looked after my son from 7 months until 14 months when we moved house. My son loves her and still calls her on his play phone 6 months on :). One of the many things I loved about Nic Nic was her positivity - her encouragement of my son came through so clearly on all the videos we'd receive via WhatsApp and he thrived in her care. I was told about his progress, quirks and felt we discovered many likes and dislikes together - she was an incredible support.

A great communicator, energetic, fun, encouraging, nurturing and trustworthy. Any child would be lucky to have her as their childminder.

We really miss Nic Nic and her whole family but feel we've made friends for life.
