I cannot recommend Nickki highly enough. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to take care of our son. Our son is treated like a member of the family and I honestly feel like Nickki takes care of him and treats him as she would one of her own children. She goes above & beyond what I would have expected and our son loves going there every day. The kids experience a range of activities. Nickki takes them to morning playgroups, to the park, on walks, and there is a lovely selection of toys and games at her house. She also does a lot of arts and crafts with them, they read books, and play with musical instruments. It’s amazing to see how far our son has come on with his art, his speech and the things he is learning while being in Nickki’s care (he is only 1.5).

Nickki also gives lovely weekly updates by email about what our son has been up to during the week with her. We love receiving these and the amount of time and effort Nickki puts into them is incredible. All of our son’s grandparents live far away and they especially love reading the updates.

All in all, I think Nickki Is a fantastic childminder and I honestly feel as though I’m leaving my son with family. She really has found her calling!
