We have been with Nikki for close to three years now. Our little boy started with her when he was one.

Nikki has been everything that you would want in a child-minder. Firstly, she has an infectiously positive energy. The kids like to be with her, they are eager to tell her about their day. Her home is clean, warm and friendly. She keeps a wonderfully structured day for them, and our son has really felt at home at her house, and has never, in all those years, not want to go.
Secondly, she is very thorough and she is fantastically reliable. I can count on one hand the number of occasions that Nikki has been ill, it is extremely rare, and she has never let us down.
Finally, she organises regular activities for the kids, including trips to local places, and her home has a mini playground. Also, she cooks healthy meals for the kids, with the help of her husband.
We can not say enough positive things with Nikki. I am personally so glad that we lucked out with Nikki.

PS: We love her so much, that even though we moved away from the local area, we continue to take our older boy back part-time.
