My daughter loved being with Nicky - she was very looked after, and Nicky would often go above and beyond. My daughter tried new foods, and was taken out to play groups, libraries, parks and more. I felt very happy leaving my daughter with Nicky, and would recommend her to other parents. I must also add that I was regularly provided with updates on the app Nicky uses, which was amazing, this included pictures and comments on what they had done during the day. Thank you for all of your help Nicky! X

Thank you for your beautiful comments and ratings. It was a great pleasure working with the family. I wish my beautiful Angel the very best in her primary school life.
Thank you
Our son has been with Adenike for a year now since he turned 1. And we're extremely happy. Why did we go with her?
- Spacious Family Setting: Its a family home with plenty of space and a well set up garden. It was important to us that our childminder felt like a home and had the space to both play inside and out, but also be quiet when needed.
- Lots of time outside: Our son goes out every day. Park, Library, Playgroup even the Farm. All the things we would do with him.
- Focus on child: most of all Adenike got our son instantly from the first meeting. And he has responded really well to her. She has an excellent way with him and it's clear she knows and understands the children she works with.
We've felt very lucky over the past year to have Adenike as our childminder. She's always reliable and provides tailored updates & photos each day.
Would add that Adenike has particular expertise in language development and our son's language has really developed well with her.
If you're after expert care in a family setting would strongly recommend meeting Adenike.

Thank you mum.
As a mother of 3, I have attended playgroup sessions within Southwark, where Nicky has led various activities for the kids.
The experience was nothing but amazing for myself and the kids and we always looked forward to going on a weekly basis.
Nicky is very good with the kids, keep them engaged and interacts with them effectively. This is evident from the way the kids got on very well with her.
My youngest who is 2 is very fond of Nicky and looks forward to going to her place. Not only has Nicky been great at looking after the kids, she also promotes their learning and encourages them.
I have been able to seek advice from Nicky on various topics relating to the kids, from breastfeeding techniques, to schools choices, to food prep ideas and potty training to name a few.
I strong recommend Great minds, surely will not be disappointed.

Nikky is so good with children and has worked with various children centres and special needs children. She takes her time to look after all the children in her care and gives daily updates to parents. I have no regret putting my daughter in her care as I was a bit concerned about leaving her with just anyone, she assured me that my daughter will settle and will be alright. She sent me pictures of all the activities she did during the day which gave me assurance and peace of mind. She engaged my daughter in various indoor and outdoor activities. She has various activities lined up each day for the children as well (weather permitting) such as visit to the children centre, parks, soft play, music group etc. The food provided to my daughter was good (she adheres to food and hygiene) and generally to health and safety and wellbeing of my daughter. My daughter loved to be in her care but we had to leave due to the family moving outside of London. I will definitely recommend Nikky.
