Nicola has been childminding my son since he was 13 months. He will be 3 in October.
When I got back to work after maternity leave Mehdi would not settled with the current childminder.
When I first went to see Nicola my intuition told me that it would be perfect setting for him.
Nicola exceeded my expectations. Mehdi bonded extremely well and with time they formed very strong relationship. Nicola answered all my son’s needs and beyond.
I have always found Nicolas home to always be a pleasant environment! I would describe the setting as relaxed but with vibrant atmosphere where my son felt very settled and secured and most importantly hugely enjoyed himself!
Mehdi has been participating in simulative fun range of activities of which she kept excellent record. I am very grateful for the learning diary she has been keeping for Mehdi. My son has made an amazing progress whilst in Nicola’s care .He has grown from a baby into an independent and confident boy!
Nikki is very honest and trustworthy. She always speaks positively and calmly to children but can be firm and fair at the same time. Nicola’s children are very well mannered and they are always great companions to Mehdi. She truly enjoys children’s company and engages in play and learning with them.
She was always opened to my suggestions and very supportive towards our family both as a parent and a childminder. We have recently had very difficult time in our family. Nicola provided us with support and understanding.
I cannot stress enough how I would not hesitate to recommend Nicola.
I found her extremely competent and conscientious. I have 100 % confidence that she would be able to offer everything that is required for any child in her care.
