Nerina's 5 Star Reviews

One of a kind.

If you need someone to take care of your child, honestly look no further. Nerina has been absolutely amazing with our little boy and we can't thank her enough for the love, kindness and fun she's brought into his world.

She treats the children in her care as if they're her own, really truly gets to know them and her home is very much an extension of our own. Our little boy has gone in every single day happy, come out happy and has had brilliant adventures along the way. They're always off in the local area visiting libraries, parks, playing pooh sticks or attending play groups - very rarely is a full day spent cooped up inside. We receive regular photos to see what he's up to with Nerina and it's so lovely to see him having fun.

Nerina is a warm, instantly likeable person who (after meeting many childminders before her) we immediately knew was the right person to hand over our most precious possession to. The children in her care are wonderfully taken care of, loved, comforted and taught wonderful new skills with patience and a deep knowledge of working with children.

Any family who winds up in Nerina's care is incredibly lucky. We feel blessed that she's played such an important role in our little one's early years and can't thank her enough for all of her hard work.

The best childminder around

We count ourselves very lucky to have found Nerina. After meeting lots of other childminders, we knew instantly she was the one for us and she was heads and shoulders above the others we'd met.

Our son has been with her for a while now and she is the most wonderful, caring and fun caregiver. The children spend lots of time outdoors either in her ample back garden or on trips to local parks, they do arts and crafts and spend time developing social skills playing together. Nothing is too much trouble for Nerina - she's bent over backwards to help with our son's dietary allergies and is always flexible and happy to do longer hours/extra days when we need to. Her meals are also all home cooked, wholesome, varied and are wolfed down by all the children!

Nerina's home is a warm, loving, fun place for our son to spend his week and we are so pleased we found her. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a childminder.

a gem of a Childminder!

There are actually no words to describe how wonderful Nerina is as a childminder and person. From the first moment of entering her house, you feel the friendly, welcoming, warm, calm atmosphere that she and her lovely family create and surround the children with. Our little 2-year old boy, who is generally a little apprehensive when it comes to staying with someone else, transformed into a happy little person, skipping into her playroom as soon as he arrived. It was a pleasure to observe and made having to go to work so much easier.

She goes on fun outings with the kids, such as soft play, library, playgroups, parks, and seasonal events, and provides delicious food for the little ones. My favourite read of the day was the little journal she keeps and sends home with your child.

On top of all, she was incredibly flexible and understanding of our unusual working schedules and accommodated us whenever she could.

It broke my heart having to take our little boy from his happy place under her care due to us moving, and he still misses and talks about Nerina.
