The Vikki's Little Vikings team have been looking after my little one for over a year now. My daughter has not long turned two and VLV is a real home-from-home for her. It's lovely to see how much her confidence has grown over the past year and see the updates on her development. She loves the routine the team and other kiddies have which is helping to prepare her for big school. All of the girls are fantastic and Vikki is very personable and down to earth. They all do such a great job and it's so rewarding to see with how my daughter is flourishing. Vikki is very organised and runs a tight ship - the little ones all have structured play and learning sessions, with some craft, yoga and other activities thrown in. She also cooks lots of homemade meals for the little ones to enjoy, helping to expand their growing taste buds! It's always lovely to see what type of craft my daughter has made. I look forward to reading her diary and love the photos showing what she's been up to! Her appetite has grown since she has been at VLV's - and from the diary I can see she is eating/trying most things now which is great to see as she went through a fussy stage. She's also made some friendships and has a few friends who she chatters to me about which is very sweet. I'm really pleased with all of the hard work the girls have put in with my daughter's development as she always seems so happy now when I drop her off. There's usually a big smile on her face when I go to pick her up after all the day's excitement. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Vikki and her team for all your childcare needs.

Vikki has been doing the school drops off for my 4 year old daughter for the past year, plus some cover during the school holidays.
I couldn’t have any more praise for Vikki and her team!
My daughter skips in with so much excitement every day.

We enrolled Magnus when he was 7 months old and Vikki and her team have surpassed our expectations in every single way. Magnus has an allergy to milk and we have not had a single issue with this since he started with Vikki last year (the same cannot be said for his other childcare provider). His diet is varied and nutritious and she is completely transparent with what he is eating and doing by writing in his diary letting us know what he has eaten and what he has been up to. She also regularly asks if we would like to add/remove anything from his diet which is great. Magnus always comes back spotless from Vikki’s as well!
As Vikki’s Little Vikings is a small nursery, Magnus gets a lot of attention from all of the staff and it really shows, he loves them all!
Thank you Vikki and your team, you’re all fantastic people and we couldn’t be happier that we found such an excellent provider for Magnus. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vikki to anyone - if she has availability then you won’t regret enrolling your child!

I used Vikki after being reccomended by a family member. She is fantastic. My eldest daughter loves her and speaks highly of her and my youngest daughter also loves going and has really come out of her shell with Vikki. My youngest has some allergies and vikki has helped me massively by suggesting different foods and has always followed any requests from our dietician. We are always welcomed with a smile every morning and I am more than happy to leave them in her care along with her colleagues. I couldn't reccomend her enough. 1st class service.

Our little boy has been looked after by Vikki and her team since he was 6 months old and hes now just turned 2. The girls are amazing with Harry and hes SO excited to see them every day. As a parent this is so important and I love that he loves going so much! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Vikki, Claire, Gemma and Amy - they are all wonderful, they take such great care of my little boy and im so very grateful they were recommended to me when i was pregnant!

Vikki is, quite simply, the best. Her wonderful setting provides the best of both for her young charges: a home from home, with the professionalism and knowledge of a nursery/pre-school setting. Alongside the marvellous Amy, Gemma and Claire, Vikki has nurtured our little girl and supported us as a family with her flexibility and years of experience. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We truly feel like our daughter has been given the perfect start with her 'second family' and we will be forever grateful for the foundations they have built for her.
We have been lucky enough that our older children also attended great settings in different areas, but we struck gold when we moved to the Wirral and found Vikki and her vikings for our youngest! She has had the added bonus of live-in pets and Vikki's own family, who show the same level of care and affection to the children as Vikki and her team. It is heart-warming to see.
If you want your child to reach their potential in the very best of hands, then this is the perfect choice. Superstars!

Vikki, Claire, Gemma and Amy are an exceptional team and I am so happy sending our little boy there. I searched and searched for childminders & nurseries I liked but knew this was the one from the moment I entered. Being a teacher, I find here really has the right balance between educating the children and letting them also have fun and be cared for in a relaxed and personal way. Vikki provides a caring and nurturing environment and it really is a home from home. Our little boy attended from 8 months old, and at no point was I ever anxious to leave him. I was actually really eager for him to start as I knew he would have a fantastic time and he was being kept safe and loved by everyone there. I really like how it’s bigger than a normal childminders but smaller than a nursery and he gets to be with children of all ages and regular members of staff.
Our little boy gives the biggest smiles when he arrives and it is clear Vikki and her staff know every child and their personalities & needs individually. Our little boy also has a milk allergy but he is catered for exceptionally and I have never had to worry about what he’s been eating. Vikki always works to follow our routine but has also really helped us improve his eating and sleeping. Despite moving a little further away, we still keep attending Vikkis Vikings full time as I cannot imagine him going anywhere else. Vikki’s own children are also so loving and helpful towards our little boy and we feel so lucky to have somewhere for him to go and grow up. Thank you to all the Team!

Vikki and her team have been amazing the past 18 months after moving my daughter there from a local nursery. It’s like a home from home environment with a special room dedicated to the children, which is bright and colourful, full of well kept toys and plenty of variety so each day my daughter played with something different or could play with familiar toys which she often found comforting.
The facilities are great, very clean and food variety is good too.
It’s great the children get out for walks a couple of times a day and sometimes do activities away from the house.
Vikki is super organised which is exactly what you need when you are a busy mum trying to get to work in the morning!
We wouldn’t send our children anywhere else now and have highly recommended her to our friends.

Vikki, Claire, Gemma and Amy are an outstanding team. Vikki provides a caring and nurturing environment for our boys. They are very happy with Vikki and I know that they get to enjoy a home away from home. Vikkis communication is excellent and she is always one step ahead of me with our needs! I honestly can’t praise Vikki’s little vikings enough, it means everything to know that my boys are safe, and with people who genuinely care for their little personalities as well as their physical needs! Truly excellent child care!

Our daughter has been with Vikki for almost two years now and is thriving in the calm, caring and creative environment that the staff create. Whether singing, dancing, yoga, colouring or playing outside, every day is an adventure.
We love that Vikki has a dog (and other animals) this enriches our daughters experience and has helped teach her confidence and respect for animals.
Communication and organisation is exceptional (I would give 6 stars for this if I could!). We also really appreciate the flexibility (we only have term time) and variety of activities that our daughter enjoys. She loves spending time with the Vikki, Gemma, Claire and Amy, they are a really lovely team and our daughter talks fondly of all of them.
It is great to have regular opportunities to go through the learning journal and see the photos and learn more about what she's been up to, we're also really grateful for the daily updates sent home in her book.
I can't recommend highly enough, it is no wonder their is a waiting list!
