Words can't express the way I feel about Nikki's childminding service, she has become like family to me. My little boy started as an anxious clingy little 1 hear old and is now leaving as a confident happy sociable little boy ready for school.
I was so nervous about leaving my son and Nikki was incredible. She showed him so much love and care from day 1, taking him out in the buggy for naps to help him to sleep and really getting to know his little character. He has always been a sensitive little boy and she did an incredible job of nurturing him and building up his confidence bit by bit.
There has never been a day where I have dropped my son off where Nikki hasn't been smiling and welcoming. She has two lovely children of her own and works with her husband Anton who is a qualified chef and cooks delicious food. He is amazing with the kids and they adore him.

Not only is the setting exceptionally caring and nurturing but the level of creativity shown in the activities the children do is second to none. They are always learning new things, making new things, painting, colouring, lots of arts and craft.
They are regularly out on trips to the park, the woods, museums, fire station, the ducks, toddler group etc.
Every day is meticulously planned out for the children to enjoy, and there is always plenty of time for independant fun free play which is of course the most important thing for little ones.

Honestly if you're trying to decide whether to use Nikki for your childminder, don't hesitate for a second.
You will be endlessly surprised at the level of thought and care that goes into looking after your child. The only downside is how sad you will feel when it's time for your child to leave!
