Nicola 's Reviews

Simply the best

Cannot praise or recommend Nicky highly enough. She's an outstanding childminder, a beautiful person and as a family we were very very lucky to have her in ours and our son's life.
From the day he started to the day he left for school, Nicky provided a wonderful homely, loving, nurturing, fun and ever-learning environment for my little boy, who loves the bones off her and misses her very much now he's started school.

Thank you so much Lisa , I miss him so much xx

Sent from the heavens!

I can not say enough good things about Nicola! I am very serious about this. she just fits into my family jigsaw perfectly!

I searched and researched for a very long time to find the right person to be with my fun, happy, vivacious, stubborn and inquisitive toddler. I found Nicolas profile on this website and just on the basis of that i paid my 20 quid just so i could talk to her! Before i met Nicola it was a massive bonus that she was very local to me and her rates are very reasonable. When i met Nicola for the first time i just KNEW i wanted her to care for my daughter. If her rates were £100 a day and she lived in Timbucktoo i would now, after meeting her and spending time with her STILL want her to care for my daughter!

Nicola is a real mum, her own two children are everything Nicola is - caring, lovely, compassionate, friendly and down to earth - everything you could want in a childminder. Nicolas background is also in business so all of her policies, documentation, qualifications and skills are super professional and organised and up to date.

My daughter has had a few settling in sessions before we started properly - the first time i hung around and my daughter and Nicola got on like old friends! - it was amazing to watch. My daughter warmed to Nicola immediately Nicolas naturally warm, loving and sunny disposition lends so well to what she does - the girl is a natural! The second settling in session - the second my daughter saw Nicola a massive smile beamed on her face and she tried to rip herself out of her pram just to get into Nicolas play room! I just KNEW in my heart that Nicola was the right person for the job.

Happy toddler = happy mummy - thank you so much Nicola! I must have done something very right in a previous life for you to have crossed my path!

I feel so lucky that when i can not be with my daughter due to work commitments that she can be with Nicola who cares for my daughter like she is one of her own. Nicola is a very good communicator and as the mummy this made me feel so at ease - Nicola is child lead like myself and she is committed to empowering, supporting and caring for children like me!

it makes me feel so relived as a busy working mum that my daughter is with Nicola. In the time i have known Nicola she has made herself invaluable to me and my family - she is more than a childminder - she is a very reliable and sturdy part of my family support network.

a lovely, kind lady, with a great attitude to children and parents and a passion for young people! i have already booked her for baby number two - i am not even pregnant yet!

I am not on commission by the way! ha ha i am speaking from the heart and its all true - i am happy to answer any questions about Nicola if any parents want to PM me. I honestly can not recommend her enough.
