Our daughter just finished her first year with Nicky and has loved every minute of it. She is so excited to go every day and didn’t have any qualms leaving us behind at the door, which was very encouraging! Nicky is really kind and caring for all the children, and we have seen through our own daughter that she’s developing really well under Nicky - she’s learning a lot and getting lots of different play experiences too.
Everything Nicky does is to a really high standard including the food provision, playgroups and daily activities. The communication is spot on, and we really enjoy hearing about all the different things they get up to!
Thoroughly recommended, and our daughter is already asking about when she’s going back after our holidays! Thank you, Nicky!

Thank you for your very kind words x
Everyone knows it’s the most daunting feeling leaving your child with someone that’s not family but I can honestly say we see Nicky as an extended part of our family. My son Archie has been with Nicky for 9 months now and he loves her! He even decided on her nick name himself “Nanny Nick Nicks”. Nicky goes above and beyond and has made us all feel so comfortable from the start! My son has learned so much since he has been there and genuinely loves being there, to a point he asks where she is when he’s not there. I would Strongly recommend Nicky to anyone and am so grateful we found her!

Thank you so much
Makes my job worth while being so appreciated. X
Cannot knock anything that Nicky does with me and my partners son. The only thing I can say that would be not so much a negative but funny really is he genuinely doesn't want to leave when we go to pick him up crying eyes out when sees us. It shows he loves it there and he does get looked after very well. Nicky will tell you all information of what has happened during the day and discuss with you of any concerns/issues occurred if there are any.
Nicky is a very polite caring childminder and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for one.

Over the years we have built a fantastic relationship with Nicky as our eldest daughter was looked after by her for almost three years and left Nicky’s to start school a couple of years ago - we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better childminder! So when I was due to return to work after having our second daughter, we were delighted that Nicky was available to look after her too!
Nicky has been our second daughter’s childminder for over a year now and we couldn’t be happier. Nicky takes the children to play groups, soft play centres and other outings regularly (when not in a pandemic!) and she is always looking for ways to entertain, occupy and keep the children active. She offers a wide range of activities for the children to take part in both in the home and in the garden, including crafts, baking and role play and regularly updates and replenishes toys, resources and play equipment.
Since been at Nicky's, our daughter has grown in confidence and has developed a range of skills. Nicky's knowledge of Early Years is excellent and it is clear that she is passionate about her vocation. We are kept up to date with our daughter's progression and development. She communicates with us throughout the day and sends us lots of pictures too. This makes us so happy to see our daughter always smiling and in such safe hands. Nicky offers nutritional meals and snacks throughout the day and ensures the children are well fed. All activities, meals and skills are written in a daily diary which is sent home too.
It is a comfort to know that our daughter is looked after by such a caring, loving and trustworthy person - our girls consider Nicky a member of our extended family so we can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you Nicky for everything!

My daughter has been with Nicky since she was 10 months old. After visiting a lot of childminders homes I still wasn’t sure. 30 seconds with Nicky and my daughter picked for me!
The care and attention Nicky shows the children is second to none. From days out to days in, the children’s days are always packed with activities.
Fresh food is always made, and the hygiene is amazing.
I would never have anyone else look after my daughter. When you child runs to the door and doesn’t even wave at you, you know you have made the right choice and your children are safe and happy.
Nicky truly is an angel with children, I would be lost without her.

My daughter has been going to Nicky for a few months now and she absolutely loves it there!
Nicky has been a lifesaver since Covid 19 hit. My original childminder had to close due to Covid and I was very worried about sending my daughter somewhere else. I had viewed many places and just did not find them suitable. However as soon as I met Nicky I knew straight away this was the right place for my daughter.
Nicky offers a very loving, clean, playful and educational environment. My daughter and I absolutely love that Nicky likes to be outdoors or out interacting at playgroups or where ever else they may be visiting. Nicky always has something planned. There is never a dull moment!! I love picking my daughter up and hearing her tell me all about her exciting day. At the moment she is loving her visits to the park with the extra treat of a hot chocolate 😊.
I will be forever grateful for how accommodating and flexible Nicky has been for us. Always goes out her way to do what is best for my daughter. She actually genuinely loves and cares for the children she looks after. She definitely provides a service that is above and beyond!!
My daughter has developed a great bond with Nicky and skips in without any fuss every morning. She even asks to go on her days off!
When your child reacts like this you just know the person looking after them is doing an amazing job!

My son has been going to Nicky’s for 8 months and absolutely loves going. I wanted him to have a bond with whoever he spent two days a weeks with and he loves Nicky to the point he doesn’t even blink an eye and runs in with her in the mornings.
I love the fact he doesn’t spend the whole day in the house but instead every day he is out and about in the morning before being feed like a king at lunchtime, napping and more play in the afternoon before high tea.
I feel my son is 100% safe and well looked after in Nicky’s care. I’m really sad that he is leaving her care due to me being on maternity leave but have my fingers crossed for two places when I return to work for both my children.

My daughter has been going to Nickys for nearly a year now and my gosh, she’s just made it so easy! That first day when I had to go back to work and leave my baby with a stranger, was obviously a scary and weird feeling, but Nicky just made it all ok, she sends me loads of pics throughout the day, she takes her out to play groups and soft play, she’s not confined to the house all day!
My daughter eats like a queen whilst she’s there, all homemade! She’s given us a book so we can find out what she’s eaten and being doing all day. My daughter is 19 months now and she absolutely adores Nicky! She’s come on so much since spending time with Nicky, really useful things like hand holding and being polite! I often get homemade presents from pheebs. Nicky just thinks of everything and I’m ever so grateful!
It’s a big thumbs up from us! I highly recommend! Xx

My Daughter has been going to Nicky's for a year now and she loves going .
As first time parents at the time we were worried about leaving our little girl ,we viewed a few childminders but Nicky put our minds at rest straight away.We arranged a home visit with Nicky and from that we just knew Nicky was the one to look after and care for our little girl .
Nicky is a lovely ,caring,polite ,approachable and loving person.She keeps us updated with pictures throughout the day which is reassuring for us that our little girl is happy and she always contacts us straight away if there are any problems.
Nicky provides healthy meals and snacks which our daughter loves .
Nicky works with us with our daughter's routine which is great .
Nicky always takes our daughter out weather permitting and our daughter loves going out.
Since our daughter has been going to Nicky we can see how much she progressed with her development.
Would recommend Nicky to anyone to look after and care for there child. She is excellent and very knowledgeable with working with children .She is very accomdating with helping people and has helped us out loads as a family.

Our son has been with Nicky since June and we honestly could not be happier with the care he receives.
Nicky provides a range of activities and outings daily for the children including trips to playgroups, soft play and also nearby parks and farms. Her home is superbly arranged for the children with a dedicated playroom and a fantastic garden space with plenty of outdoor toys and activities, it is a home from home for the children she cares for.
Nicky provides nutritious home cooked meals and snacks and works to accommodate my fussy eater. She provides regular updates and photos, it is lovely and reassuring to see that my son is happy and enjoying his day whilst I can't be with him myself. Nicky works with us to maintain a routine with meal and nap times and this has really helped to keep his routine settled at home.
In the time he has been with Nicky my son has grown in confidence and interacts much better with other children, we really have seen change in him and my once shy and clingy child now walks confidently into Nicky's house without looking back. A nurturing person by nature, Nicky is dedicated to providing excellent child care.
Could not recommend highly enough, Nicky is an excellent Childminder.
