Children thrive in a safe, happy environment where they form warm relationships with their caregiver. The curriculum is tailored to children's interests, promoting learning about the wider world through various outings. Language development is well-supported, with the introduction of new words during play. However, there is room for improvement in fostering critical thinking skills. Parents report positively on their children's progress and enjoyment in this setting.

Nicola looked after my two girls for two years and did a fantastic job looking after them.

My two girls were 18 months and 3.5 years old when they first went to Nicola and flourished under her care. She is very patient and seemingly has never ending energy, getting the kids out and about to Parks and Playgroups.

My girls were always coming home with their little creations from arts and crafts and Nicola was very thoughtful to ensure that birthdays and occasions like Mother's Day etc never got overlooked, with them often coming home with very sweet little homemade gifts.

I very much recommend her as a childminder!

Nicola has at various points looked after all three of my children, now aged 10,9& 5.

The care she provided was exceptional and I felt secure and happy in the knowledge my children were with her when I went to work.

I admired Nicola’s commitment to the development of not only my children’s educational needs but also their emotional needs.

My children were fed healthy and interesting meals with lots of variety and I really liked the home from home atmosphere.

Nicola has a patience I do not recognise in myself and all my children had a fantastic time in her care.

I especially loved receiving the arts and crafts gifts and pictures the children would come home with. Something I didn’t have the time to do!!

The environment Nicola created was warm, friendly, loving, creative and educational and I would highly recommend her as a childminder.
