I cannot recommend Nunzia highly enough!

Nunzia goes above and beyond - a dedicated professional, fun and loving.

Our two sons have been with Nunzia for over 2 years since aged 3yrs and 18mnths. In this time our older son has transitioned into full time school and our younger son is in pre-school two days.

From the outset Nunzia has consulted with us to develop a fantastic arrangement for our boys that fits in with our work commitments and supports the boys' development and journey into pre-school/school.

Nunzia has always strived to establish a daily routine to meet the needs of all the children in her care.

Nunzia puts a great deal of effort into planning activities that are seasonal or related to key themes that the boys are focusing on at school, and always with their early years development at the centre....not to mention so much fun!

Nunzia keeps a daily record of activities, meals, sleep etc. Also, every few weeks we receive a folder from Nunzia full of photos and observations of the boys. These are not only wonderful to read but they also track the progress the boys are making in their development.

The boys have great friendships with Nunzia's teenage children and husband and they are looked after in a home-from-home environment. Nunzia sometimes take the boys to feed the chickens at her mother-in-law's house and the boys affectionately call her Chicken Lady. Nunzia and her family teach and exhibit the values that we are developing with the boys at home, and that are expected of them at school.

My husband and I have complete peace of mind that are children are being well cared for, nurtured and supported in their development...and importantly kissed and cuddled.

It is not surprising that Nunzia won the Bedford Borough Childminder in her first year in business and is Ofsted rated outstanding.

I would be more than happy to talk to any parent considering using Nunzia as their childminder.
