Our Daughter has been in Vicki’s care since Nov 2013. I struggled long and hard to find the right childminder
And from the minute I met Vicki I knew she was the right person for our daughter, she is passionate about looking
After children, her environment is a safe and fun place to be, there are amazing activities every day including social
Cultural and informative activities that fully compliment the EYFS guidance, we always get a weekly journal which shows
Pictures of all the activities she has been involved in and our daughter has flourished into a very smart bright girl since attending her home.
Her home is full of play and they spend a lot of time attending different groups and also outside learning about nature. Personally
I have found Vicki to be very organised and enthusiastic about the children teaching them good manners and self development along with Kindnessa and sharing, all good social and communication skills which will compliment her transitions in to preschool and school.
I couldn’t recommend Vicki enough to another prospective Parent!!!!!!

Vicki looked after my 1 year old daughter for 6 months in 2013 and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Being a first time Mum I was very anxious about leaving my daughter for the first time, but Vicki immediately put me at ease and I had no doubt that my daughter would be in good hands.
Vicki provides a 'home from home' environment, with fantastic home cooked meals and resources for all ages. Incredibly organized, Vicki consistently kept me up to date with detailed documentation of my daughters time with her and I was always impressed with Vicki's passion for the job and caring, nurturing nature for the children in her care.

Vicki has been caring for my children since June 2010 - my son started with her after a really bad experience with a childminder who had left him very insecure. From his very first "test" outing with her, I could see he was very happy, and 4 years later he still loves going to Vicki's! My daughter has been with her since June 2012: the transition from home to childminder was very smooth and that is a lot down to Vicki who has been very patient and caring (she had to spoon-feed her her milk for 3 weeks!!!)
Vicki is very obviously passionate about her job and puts a lot of effort into always having the newest qualifications and applying all the various learnings and Early Years guidances to how she cares about the children, giving them very good basis for development on all levels: social, speech, environment, cultural, manners etc... She has (interesting!) activities planned for everyday and provides a safe and healthy home environment for the kids.
Most of all, it is very obvious that she really does care for all of the children she looks after!
I could not recommend her enough - she is doing an amazing job!
