Nickie Wakeford has been my childminder for over two years and I cannot recommend her highly enough (she was recommended to me by a friend).
Nickie is an excellent childminder - my daughter loves going to her and really enjoys the time she spends there.

Nickie is very loving to my daughter, and treats her like one of the family. Nickie spends a lot of time with my daughter and the other children she looks after, taking them out to numerous activities (e.g. the park, playgroups, activity centres) and reads and plays with the children. She makes sure that appropriate and educational games are played - which are fun too of course! She writes a diary for me each week on my daughter's behaviour and ensures that my requirements are met (for example we discuss how my daughter should be treated when she is rude and naughty, and Nickie follows my approaches).

My daughter really enjoys playing with Nickie's own children and with the other children that Nickie looks after. I could not manage without Nickie, she is a brilliant childminder.
