Nicola is an absolute gem

Reviewed

We are so grateful to have found Nicola to look after our daughter, Zoe. From our first meeting, we knew that Nicola’s care and home were the best place for our daughter.

Her house is inviting, immaculate, and feels like a cosy home environment, which we felt was the perfect transition from care in her own home. Zoe settled into Nicola’s care so quickly it was unbelievable. Many of the babies from my NCT group struggled settling in, however, Nicola made it so quick and easy, coaching us along the way. When I drop Zoe off, she waves and says goodbye even before I am ready to leave. She loves being with Nicola and the other children in her care.

Nicola is warm, kind, organised, and a natural caregiver. I have seen Zoe develop rapidly, both socially and emotionally, and she is hitting key milestones thanks to Nicola’s attention, efforts, and care. Although she is developing fast, I never feel like I have missed anything because I receive daily updates and pictures on food, sleep, developments, and experiences.

Nicola always has a daily activity planned, which Zoe loves. Whether it’s baby yoga, dancing, going to the Wetland Centre, or visiting the library, Zoe is always smiling. There is a perfect variety of activities that I believe has helped Zoe become super confident in the world.

Nicola's organisation is remarkable, effortlessly planning every element of the day, from a variety of home-cooked meals to engaging activities. Everything is executed with such precision and ease, ensuring a well-rounded and nurturing environment for Zoe.

You can tell that Nicola sees all the children she looks after as family, throwing birthday parties and remembering little details. I genuinely believe she loves our little girl, and her son Jude is the most wonderful little boy with whom Zoe has bonded with so strongly.

Nicola goes above and beyond to help make sure we are supported. If there is anything she can do to make our lives easier with the juggle of everything going on, she will make it happen. We are so very grateful for this support.

I cannot recommend Nicola more highly; we are so lucky to have her expertise and care in our lives. If you’re lucky enough to find a spot with her, you wont regret taking it.
