CHILDCARE WHICH CANNOT BE COMPARED

Nicole cared for my son for more than 2 years and to date my son still visits her, always stating that he wants to visit Aunty Nicole.
He started in her setting when he was 3 months and I believe it was the best start my son could have had. He was always engaged, happy and alert. His exposure to various well thought through activities indoors and outdoors made him a well rounded child. Nicole always took the children to socialise with other children in other settings and on trips around London such as theatres, boat trips etc.Her planning was targeted and it helped my son improved in areas which were slowly developing. Her attention to detail is unique and her communication skills are excellent. I was always kept up to date on development, changes or concerns. I admire Nicoles' ability to identify and react positively by reassuring us as parents. I always felt confident at work that my child was cared for by a professional.
Nicole is from a teaching background and this shows through the activities and the set up of her setting. She is more than a Childminder, someone who is passionate about teaching and learning.
NICOLE YOU ARE THE BEST AND I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU TO ANY PARENT WHO WANTS TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND.

Thank you Tes for doing this review. So happy to know that my level of care was so highly thought of.
It was great caring for M and seeing how he has grown and developed confirm that my care and attention is worth while.
I do this job because of my passion for early development and these words are added inspiration to continue doing what I am doing.
Thank you.

The BEST childminder

Our daughter started with Nicole in January 2024 when she was 7 months old and she LOVES Nicole and her time there. Her adaptation went smoothly and it feels wonderful to see Sophie so joyful and happy when we drop her off each morning.

We originally though we’d leave Sophie at a childminder until 1 year old and then put her in nursery but seeing how she is evolving, learning and thriving with Nicole we want to continue.

Nicole has an MA in education and follows the ofsted nursery curriculum with more tailored activities and Montessori style wood toys and games.

She is open 8am -6pm and including delicious and healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The biggest advantage is the one-to-one care and tailored curriculum and the fact that Sophie has not been ill since started with Nicole apart from a small cold which I gave her from work not the other way around. Nicole also meets up with other childminders from time to time so Sophie socialises plenty.

I recommend Nicole wholeheartedly! She is so attentive and communicative. I feel safe and confident leaving my daughter in her amazing care.

If you want the best for your child,
look no further than Nicole.

Wonderful words like these makes me feel even more encouraged and committted to ensure that young children get the best start they deserve through opportunities created at my setting.
I believe that with a stimulating and enriched environment children will be open to thrive and excel. Thanks for believing in me and my abilities, I endevour to continue offering excellent care so that more parents like you will be happy to use my service.
Thank you

Excellent!!!!

Firstly Nicole, I apologise for taking so long to leave this review. Thank you so much for making my child's stay so enjoyable over the 2 months you cared for him.
U First Childcare Service definitely gets the thumbs up from me and my son. The surroundings are fantastic and the best child themed and related environment I have seen on offer. Your personal input in both looking after the welfare of my son and keeping him so interested and involved with your teaching and learning activities is most valuable and appreciated.
Although I have now moved from the area my son both misses and asks for both yourself and the other children he associated with and had so much fun.
For anyone else seeking a safe and responsible carer I could never recommend anyone more highly.

Thank you Nicole,
Paul
