Nicola has been a great help to myself recently as I needed childcare support for two weeks. She has always been punctual, maintains communication and clearly loves working with children. She has a kind and gentle approach with my son who was happy to be with her. I have no hesitation in recommending her for childcare support!

Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review, I loved spending time with Ethan and getting to you know both. I love the bond we made over a short period of time and hope to see you both again soon 🥰
Nikki was a dependable and caring nanny for our two toddlers over the past 13 months. She was consistently on time, reliable, and provided a safe, warm environment for our kids. She would bring with her a bag full of games and crafts. We appreciated how she kept our children engaged with age-appropriate activities, helping them learn and play in ways that were fun and educational. Nikki would prepare food for our children, clean up after them, and read a book and put my youngest down for a nap after lunch. She took the children on days out, to playgroups and even had little parties for them on birthdays or holidays (christmas, halloween, easter etc).
Nikki was also very communicative, keeping us updated on their day and any little milestones. She made a positive impact on our family, our children love her and we are grateful for the time she spent with us. Thanks Nikki.

Thank you for taking the time to write me a review, I absolutely loved my time with you all as a family over the past 13 months and will miss you all so much 🥰
We hired Nicola to come and look after our 2 year old son. After a couple of bad experiences with nurseries we were quite nervous and had a hard time choosing a nanny. It was clear within a couple of hours that we had made the right decision with Nicola. Our son took to her immediately and nothing was too much trouble for her. She'd arrive equipt with a bag full of games and learning aids and it was amazing watching just how much our little one came on week by week because of all of the activities Nicola would run with him. But more importantly he loved every second of it. Nicola would do lots of arts and crafts and days out and send us regular updates and daily reports. Throughout our time working with Nicola we also got to know her lovley children , who our children developed a fantastic bond with. Can't recommend Nicola enough. Thanks for everything Nic!

Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. I loved my time with you all and making the best memories with our children. Thank you for being such a lovely family to work with and being so kind and welcoming towards my girls. We miss uses lots already but can’t wait for our catch ups 🥰❤️
Where do I start?!
Nicola is an angel in human form. She genuinely saved me at the time I needed her most. My little one was 4 months at the time and I’d been searching for a nanny to help out in hopes that I’d be able to go back to work part time. I was really worried as my LO was only ever around me and my husband. So I was anxious about her not warming up to Nicola.
Not only that but my LO was also only used to napping either on me or very rarely would allow ONLY me to put her down in the crib.
On the very first day, Nicola worked her magic and got her to nap within minutes! I was in shock.
Ever since then, it’s been nothing but good memories with Nicola! She’s super professional, so friendly and SO creative! From all sorts of messy play to days out in the farm, the list is endless!
My LO loves Nicola now and there’s no one I’d trust more with my baby. Choosing Nicola has been one of the best decisions I’ve made my life.

Thank you so much for the amazing review! I absolutely love looking after Talia and look forward to our days together each week 🥰❤️
Nicola was a god send for me and my clingy little girl.
She's so lovely and calming that my little girl settled in with her straight away.
Nicola does lots of activities throughout the day which I was kept upto date with, with lots of pictures and posts on a private Facebook page between me and my family, which was lovely to see how she was getting on.
My little girl enjoyed her time with Nicola and I felt so relieved to have someone I trusted with her apart from family.

Aww thanks so much Vic I have loved every minute looking after Prim she’s such a credit to you both. Thank you for your kind words and for being such a lovely family to work with 😘
Like every other parent you are always worried to leave your little one with someone you don’t really know but Nicola changed that for me. She is so professional and knows how to do her job. My little one jas seperation anxiety but Nicola managed to cope well with and to get my little one settled. She sent me updates throughout the day and pictures too. Nicola also helped me with good advice to work on little ones seperation anxiety. She is organised, clean and she knows how to do her job. Great time keeping, patient and honest. I would highly recommend Nicola! She is an absolute star and I will definitely hire her again.

Thank you so much for your kind review. It was lovely to meet you all and Nailah is a pleasure to look after. I look forward to spending more time with you all in the future 😊
I needed Nicolas help looking after my 1 year old and three month old. I’m happy to say she done a fantastic job with my two and it was lovely to get picture updates on how my little ones where doing. Nicola knows her trade all too well - she uses her initiative and fulfils her job with such professionalism as a nanny.
Thank you Nicola x x x

Thank you for your kind review Tash I love looking after Molly and I am the lucky one being able to be part of her life and watch her grow! Looking forward to continuing looking after Molly and seeing that gorgeous face :-) xxxxxx
We're do I start? Friendly, loving ,caring, trustworthy, i could write a book ?There are No words that can describe how much of amazing nanny Nicola is and makes! She litrally does everything I can't do amazingly. My son has been going to Nicola since he was roughly 5/6 months he is now 2 , and absolutely LOVES her and loves her picking him up as he runs for cuddles and waves me off! I wouldn't have him go anywhere else, I am always getting told by other mums on how much my son has come on and how clever and advance he is for his age (thanks to nick) he can count, sing songs , do the actions, starting to speak sentences better, everything you would want your child to do she teach's them! Nicola also keep you update everyday with what they have eating, drank, sleep, everything by pictures and videos which doesn't half lighten up my day at uni! i trust her more than anyone, best nanny in town!!! ? Highly recommended!!! Be lost without her! She makes me feel feel so at ease! Me and shea appreciate everything Nicky! Xxxxx

We're do I start!!
My kids absolutely LOVE Nicola
Nicola has looked after my youngest daughter since she was 4 months old, I thought going back to work an leaving my new baby would be so hard, but it weren't as bad as I thought, Nicola made me feel so comfortable about leaving the baby with her, sent me pictures through the day and txt messages which put my mind at ease. Now nearly 1 year old my Nancy has a big smile on her face when she sees Nicola. Puts her arms out to her an waves to me. Nicola also looks after my 10 year old occasionally an she also loves being with her.
I would be lost without her!
Thanks for everything nic

Aww thank you so much Hun I love looking after the girls. Picking Nancy noodles up seeing the big smile on her face makes my day :-) I would be lost without you and the girls working with a family like yours makes me love my job even more! Xxxxxx
Nicola joined our family as our full time nanny in Feb 2012 when I returned to work full time following my maternity leave. We have twins and Nicola's previous work experience at nannying twins twice plus her qualifications made her a very appealing candidate when we were interviewing.
Employing Nicola has been 100% the best choice we could have ever made for our chilcare. The children are developing fabulously and they simply adore her and trust her implicitely, as do my husband and I. Nicola clearly loves our children and plans their week effectively. She communicates with us all the time and knows when it's appropriate to let us know certain things like illness coming on or new words or learning new actions to songs so that we know what our kids have done each day.
Nicola is very mature for her age, professional, organised, has never had a day off sick in 12 months, she is punctual and flexible to meet our child care needs. Nicola is also very generous and gives her heart and soul to her work and does everything to a high standard.
I'd be lost without Nicola and would be more than happy to give a verbal reference to anyone seeking to offer her employment.

Thank you so much Linz I absolutely love the twins and being part of team Morgan. I'm so happy I've found a lovely family like yours and look forward to many more years caring for Lily and Joseph xxx
Nicola is such a lovely girl who has looked after my son for the last 6 weeks. Due to change in circumstances we were unable to continue with Nicola which is such a shame and we will miss her loads especially Louie.
Nicola was always on time, letting me know when she was leaving or dropping louie off. She would write a daily diary of Louies day which I loved reading when I got home.
Nicola is very trustworthy and easy going, Louie clicked with her straight away. Nicola was very flexible in regards to hours if i needed him dropping off early or later. She is very professional and always replied to messages thoughtout the day.
I would just like to say I would recommend Nicola to anyone, she is a natural at her job with a professional manner and I am very sad that she wont be looking after louie anymore.
Thank you for everything
Lisa, Mikey and Louie xxx

Thank you Alex for a lovely review :-)
I have known NIcola for nearly a year. Nicola minds my 7 year old daughter atleast once a month (usually a saturday night).
Nicola is kind, caring, flexible and always adapts to our needs. If for any unforseeable circumstances she was unable to mind my daughter she would suggest a friend or relative (also I childminder) which was absolutely no hassle at all.
Nicola has always delivered the highest standard of care and has always proven a very professional service, her time keeping is excellent, she is also very flexible as often our return home from a night out varied.
Nicola would often send me a text whilst I am out just to keep me updated that things are okay, and the important thing of all is that my daughter is happy and enjoys having Nicola around, often would get all her toys out waiting for Nicola.
I personally would highly recommend this superb Childminder/Nanny.
Thank you Nicola

I would highly recommend Nicola as a childminder. She minds our baby boy who is only a few months old occasionally when I have to work and she has proved a very professional and caring childminder.
SHe is very flexible and adapts to our needs. She always accepts to keep our son for a bit longer when we need her to, she picks up and drops him back. She is very caring and she even sends picture messages of our son when he is enjoying the activities!
We are very happy with her and would highly recommend her as a nanny.
