Nia has been a part of our family for seven years now. She cared for both of our sons, Oscar and Edward. Oscar was a poorly baby, and did not suit nursery, and was apprehensive leaving him anywhere, but still wanted him to enjoy mixing with other tots and some time away from mum. We knew from the minute that we met Nia that Oscar would be happy and safe.

What a wonderful lady she is! She is genuinely very caring and provides a nurturing and homely environment. Oscar had a wonderful time! He enjoyed playing with a lovely selection of toys, and so began his love of cooking and reading!

When Edward came along, we were delighted that he could also spend many happy days playing at Nias, and made some good friends too. He has known her since he was a tiny baby, until his final farewell when he started school last year. Edward gained bags of confidence, and is now a happy little chatterbox, with bundles of creativity which Nia expertly encourages. She even managed to get him to eat some fruit and veg, and amazingly fish fingers, which he still refuses to eat at home!

Nia was like a family member to us, sadly not having much ourselves in the area, so was very sad to leave when both boys started school. They both still ask 'when are we going to Nia's?' We will miss her and appreciate all the support she has given us over the years. Thank you!
