Nicola has looked after my son since he was 9 months old and my daughter almost 3 - we found Nicola after looking into a childminder as an alternative to nursery ( my daughter had previously been in nursery). I was a little worried about this change but as soon as I met Nicola I knew that she would be someone I would trust and any reservations I had about changing from a nursery setting to a childminding one were completely put at ease. My children love Nicola and her family and love going there . Nicola is kind, patient, reliable and I have always been completely happy with the care she provides. Planned activities , days out and a home from home environment - would highly recommend !

I feel so lucky to have found Nicola! She has looked after both of my children, my son was 3 and my daughter just 18 months old. Almost 3 years later and my daughter starts school in September and we are going to miss her so much! Nicola is a very caring, professional childminder. She always has planned activities and days out and I would highly recommend.

Nicola is a brilliant childminder, she has looked after my little boy for over a year since he was 1 years old. She is so caring, patient and kind. He absolutely loves going to hers and enjoys the wide range of activities every day. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

My little one has been looked after by Nicola for 18 months now. I couldn’t wish for a better childminder, she takes the children on days out and works closely with them to ensure they are getting the support they need. My little girl looks forward to going there and seems to be progressing really well.
