Nickie and her daughter Harriet provide a “home from home” experience for the children they care for. My son started with them when he was almost two, and stayed for around a year. In that time he grew to love Nickie and Harriet, and became firm friends with Harriet’s lovely little girl. I felt confident that my little boy was being loved and cared for as though he belonged to them.
Nickie was more than happy to accommodate his allergies and eating issues, which made such a difference to him and us. She really went out of her way to make sure he felt included and ate the same or similar to the other children.
Nickie has ample transport and safely takes children on lots of really fun days out. My son enjoyed trips to various soft play centres, baby gyms, playgrounds and parks.
Communication is great, and Nickie is happy to chat at the end of the session, but also writes the day’s activities and food/nappies down in a personal diary.
I couldn’t recommend anyone more, and we were all very sad when the time came to leave Nickie’s care.
