My Summary
About Me
Hello, I have two grown up children of my own and have been an Ofsted Registered Childminder for 22 years, during these years I have gained a wealth of experience, memories and friends. I have enjoyed caring for children and believe that it is important to give all children a good start in life and to promote their social interaction skills at an early age with a wide range of different experiences. We attend a variety of morning toddler sessions and childminders groups, visit local parks, farms and attend soft play areas. I also enjoy meeting up with other childminders and their minded little ones giving all children opportunity to make new friends, I am also a member of Wakehurst Place and Washbrooks Farm.
I provide a warm and welcoming home and have a good level of communication with parents and most importantly their children.
I have my own transport which is insured for my business and also have a large enclosed garden equipped with swings, toddler slide and a large enclosed trampoline.
I can only collect school age children from London Meed School in Burgess Hill. I live within a few minutes walk to London Meed School with no roads to cross.
I look forward to meeting with you and your child/children
Regards
Nicky

My son started at London Meed School in September 2021 and Nicky has welcomed him in amazingly. Especially with his additional allergy needs around breakfast. She takes my school to London Meed School 3 mornings a week and he loves going there. He asks me everyday - is it a Nicky day. It has definitely helped him settle into school.
She’s been very helpful and accommodating if I’ve needed extra hours at short notice, which I’m very grateful for.
She lives so close to the School which is perfect. She has an amazing garden and plenty of toys to play with.
The extra special touches of crafts for special days - Mother’s Day, fathers Day or Christmas have always been lovely to receive.
Thank you Nicky

Nicky has looked after my two boys for over 2 years now. They have always loved going to Nicky’s house and we love the home from home environment that Nicky offers. She has a fantastic garden with a trampoline and swings and many more outside resources that my boys absolutely love which is very rare to find within a childminder. The boys always have a great time there and never want to leave.
Nicky provides outstanding childcare and is always there for any advice and support. She understands the individual needs of my children and supports them fully. Nicky is experienced in children with additional needs and behaviour problems and supports this within her setting and supports the family to ensure everything is in place and gives great advice when needed. Nicky is a lovely and welcoming person and I would recommend her to anyone local to Burgess Hill. She lives behind London Meed which is perfect and takes them on local visits and visits to the farm etc.
My two boys are now moving to Pioneer Childcare due to extended hours of work but as a family we will truly missing Nicky as we see her as a member of the family now. If Pioneer doesn’t work for my boys I know Nicky would drop everything to support the boys and take them back into her childcare.
Thank you Nicky for all your hard work you offer!
