My Summary
About Me
I have been a registered childminder, Little Stars Childminding, since 2020 & I’m thoroughly enjoying my career choice. I live in the Centre of Rothley with my husband & 3 children. My eldest daughter is 16 & just starting college, my middle daughter is 13 & is enjoying her secondary school & my youngest, my son is 7 and a bundle of joy. We are a setting with no pets as that’s just personal preference. I mind children of all ages, the youngest I have taken in is 6 months but would happily take younger & the eldest being 11. All children are cared for in a home from home environment & with a mix of ages as I believe this helps tremendously with their development & getting them ready for school. I have an enclosed garden with lots of room for expression & play. We have a wooden, purpose built playhouse with slide, swing set, trampoline & lots of other ride on toys, bikes & scooters which we have on rotation. We love to go out & about, get messy with paint, sand, water & even mud! We love crafts & try to incorporate special calendar events where we can. We attend local playgroups & library events where possible & also love to take a bus ride to soft play occasionally.
My working hours are 8:00 am-5:00pm, Monday-Thursday & 8-4 on Fridays.

Nikki provides a real home from home and has been fantastic for our little boy. We couldn’t have asked for any more. Nikki is so caring a loving and really takes time to bond with the children. Thank you nikki for all you have done for our little boy. Nikkis house is incredibly clean and tidy and I really feel it’s a wonderfully safe place.

Nikki has looked after our little boy on and off around school and in the holidays for the past 3 years and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She has such a lovely homely environment, with loads of different activities for the kids to do. Nikki is so friendly, trustworthy and reliable! He absolutely loves going, It feels like he is with family when he is there.

Nikki is an absolute gem, always has time for us parents to explain what they've done/eaten during the day. They're always out and about and little Isabelle loves going to NikNiks house! She treats everyone like a family and has helped Isabelle in so many ways in her development from walking to talking and beyond. I would highly recommend Nikki to anybody who needs a fantastic childminder.

My son went to Nikki from a year old and he adored his time there. Nikki was amazing with him and it gave me such peace of mind for him to have a consistent person everyday, and someone who obviously cared so much about him. Nikki makes a huge effort to take the children out and about, to the park, library, town, playgroups, soft play, it was perfect for my son who loves visiting different places, and he had lots of opportunity to socialise and interact. Nikki’s family also make the whole set up feel like a home from home which is so special and rare to find in childcare! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nikki to anyone, she is amazing!
