Nicky offers a home from home environment which our daughter enjoyed, There are always loads of crafts , painting and cooking going on. My daughter learned a lot through Nicky (numbers, counting, holding a pen and writing letters) and loved being Nicky's little helper.
Sadly we moved away but our Daughter is still talking about Nicky and the friends she made.

Thankyou miss you x
Nick has looked after our son for 1 year now and we can that she is a total lifesaver!
She treats him as her own family and He adores to spend time with her and her husband!
She is caring, honest, reliable, flexible and always able to help and gives us advices.
He has grown so much in this last year and we cannot image a better person to look after him
We are lucky to have found her and cannot recommend her enough

Nicky looked after me as a child along with my brother and sister. I hold her in the highest regard as many of my childhood memories are with her and her lovely family. We were made to feel part of her lovely family who I still have contact with today. The most genuine loveable person you are likely to meet, my mother still reminds us of many stories Nicky shared with her and the high level of support she offered her. I don't need to recommend her anymore than by saying I would have her child mind my children as age did such a brilliant job with me and my siblings.

My Son and Daughter have been with Nicky since they were 6 months old, my Son is now 5 and my Daughter 8. I could not have found a better person than Nicky, she is just great and my children love being with her. Nicky is very reliable and always gives as much notice as she can when taking time off as she hates letting you down and is always thoughtful on the time I may have to take off from work. I would be lost with out Nicky, she has been a great help to me over the years and have built up a very good relationship.
I would highly recommend Nicky she is just the best.
