My son has been with Nicola for 2 years for before and after school care and during the holidays. As my son is now starting Secondary school it is now time to say goodbye to Nicola.
Nicola made Connor feel welcome from the day he started going to her and she soon adapted to his ways with a need for routine.
On the days where i completely forgot his lunch during the holidays she always made sure he didn't go hungry.
On the rare occasion i was late back from work, Nicola was very accommodating and understanding.
I will be sad to say goodbye to Nicola although i dont think it will be a true goodbye as my son says he is going to visit her after school to see her and the other children so i think this proves the rapport she built with my son.

Nicola has such a child friendly house that is suited for all ages! My son is usually nervous and clingy when we go somewhere new but he very quickly was happy to explore her house and made himself at home. Nicola is really friendly and flexible and also takes the children to fun places, and has plenty to keep them engaged and happy. Definitely recommend!

Our daughter is nearly 2, and loves going to Nicola.
She is very friendly, easy to talk to and accommodates changes when needed, and has been very helpful during the lockdowns.
Nicola organises lots of crafting, exercise and activities. Eloise's vocabulary increases almost every week.
There are plenty of toys and games for the children to play with and a nice garden for fresh air.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nicola

I started my Son with Nicola only 3 months ago, after i had decided to remove him from nursery, after him having a terrible experience.
When Louie started with Nicola he was rather shy and timid, but after a short time he's like a changed child. His Confidence has come on so much. He has learned many various things in such a short time. It is like dropping Louie to a member of the family rather than a child minder. The thought that Louie will leave late next year to start pre-school is heartbreaking. He sees Nicolas house as a second home! He loves to go over to her farm to collect the eggs and feed the chickens. So much fun in one place !

Henry has being going to Nicola since September when he was 8 months old. Sadly, he will be leaving in July due to us relocating to a bigger house and it is no longer viable for him to kelp going to Nicola's.
He has thrived under Nicola's care and guidance. She worked with us to develop his daily routine. We loved that Nicola went out to various playgroups as this helped to develop his personality and confidence.
He now walks confidently to the door and knocks and sometimes doesn't even wave goodbye because he is so excited to go inside to see his friends and play.
Nicola is extremely flexible and friendly. We would have no problem recommending her to anyone.
