Vicki kindly stepped in and offered childcare through the summer whilst my daughters pre school was closed. My daughter absolutely enjoyed every second of her time at Vickis. She did so much in the short time that she was there, I loved the daily updates on WhatsApp with photos of their time out and about doing a range of wonderful nurturing activities. Having had 3 children, all who went through the private nursery system I would thoroughly recommend Vicki to anyone seeking a little more of a personal approach who doesn’t want their child stuck inside a nursery setting all day. What a wonderful summer my daughter has had thanks to Vicki.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, I’ve really enjoyed the time with your daughter!
Our little one has flourished in her time with Vicki. There's always a range of activities including lots of outdoor stuff which is great and our little one has really enjoyed her time there. Vicki has always been very sensitive and professional and offered advice and reassurance when needed. She will miss her time with Vicki.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a review. I will miss your little one!
In the time Vicki had my daughter she came on leaps and bounds. Her development in such a short space of time really has astounded us. I loved the fact that Vicki takes the children out on mini adventures, exploring nature and learning every day whilst having fun.
I would highly recommend Vicki to anyone looking for a childminder.
A massive thank you to Vicki for everything she has done for us.

Vicki has looked after both of my children from around 9 months old. They are now toddlers and unfortunately moving to pre school. We are very sad to say goodbye as Vicki has been such an important part of the children’s lives. They both talk highly of her and her family who the children have became close to.
Vicki spends a lot of time outdoors with the children and they go on some lovely days out.
She was very supportive whilst our eldest was potty training and teaches the children to be independent.
We are updated throughout the day via what’s app with pictures of what the children have been upto and what they have eaten.
We have always had great communication to ensure we are on the same path and we feel this is very important to be consistent both at home and whilst with Vicki.
Our children are always happy in Vickis care and always excited to see her.
All in all she has been everything and more that we could ask for in a childminder.
Highly recommend!

Vicki has cared for my son for the past year and had recently started looking after my 6 month old.
My son has formed a lovely bond with Vicki and has always been excited when dropping him off. She has been amazing with him and has contributed towards his development massively.
I love that Vicki does a variety of activities each day and spends lots of time outdoors in the fresh air with the children.
I always look forward to the email diary at the end of each day with photos and a description of what they have been upto :)
I have always been comfortable dropping the children off to Vicki knowing they are well looked after and happy when in her care.
We couldn’t have asked for anymore in a childminder.
Thank you Vicki. Xx

Vicki is a wonderful childminder who has cared for all three of our children at times over the past 5 years and they all adore her. As parents we have felt so lucky to have had a constant reliable source of childcare away from home and could not have asked for a more nurturing and caring environment for our children in the early years before starting school. Vicki's fun and enthusiastic nature come across both in the care she provides and the learning the children experience. Over the course of three children it has become apparent to us how different each child is and Vicki has supported each of them in the unique way that they need, communicating with us throughout to ensure consistency at home and at her house.
Vicki (and her family) have been such a huge part of our lives for the past 5 years and we are genuinely sad to be moving on to the next stage. We cannot recomend Vicki highly enough, thank you Vicki for all you do.

I started sending my eldest daughter to Vicki nearly 4years ago now. I couldn't find a nursery I liked as I really wanted another me to look after her and I didn't like the idea of her being in one room all day. Vicki has been utterly amazing and I sent my middle daughter to her too and would not hesitate to send my little one. She provides a really loving and nurturing environment and she does an array of activities that the kids absolutely love. They go out everyday and are always up to something new and exciting. It feels like they are going to their friends house to play rather than me sending them to childcare and they constantly talk about the activities they do with her. They have both learnt and developed so much during their time at Vicki's house and I would not hesitate to recommend her (and her lovely family setting) to others.

Our little boy has been with Vicki now for over a year and he loves it. He is always really excited on ‘Vicki days’! The small setting of just 3 children means he feels safe and gets lots of attention. Vicki has always made a real effort to get to know Lucas and learn his likes and needs and tailors activities to suit. She takes them on lots of outings from local toddler groups to a trip on the train. She was very supportive through potty training and very patient. However, Lucas also always listens to Vicki as she gently enforces discipline too which we were very keen to support. Additionally we were able to use the tax free childcare scheme with Vicki which was really helpful. All in all we are very sad to be leaving in February.

Vicki is a lovely childminder. My daughter started with her just before her first birthday and really thrived while she looked after her. In particular we were really impressed with the social skills and friendships Vicki fostered between our daughter and the other children in her care. My daughter always went to Vicki happily and came home in good spirits after and exciting day with her. Vicki kept us very well informed with informal chats at the end of the day plus easy to access online daily diaries including lots of photographs showing the different things the children had been up to each day. Vicki takes the children in her care to a wide variety of interesting places and also provides a stimulating home from home environment. A month after leaving Vicki (due to me having another baby) our daughter still talks about her and the other children. We highly recommend Vicki to anyone looking for a childminder.
