About Me

Hello, my name is Nicola and I am an Ofsted registered childminder.
I am 39 and I live on Great Notley with my partner Steve who is 40 and our two amazing sons, Theo who is 15 and Rafferty who is 3. We also have one cat called Stan, who is very friendly. And we have a goldendoddle dog called Cody, who is fantastic with all of the children.
What I offer is a safe, friendly, fun and educational environment for all children in my care. My setting is very much home from home.
The children at my setting use the house as it is theirs, roaming freely between rooms. We do many different activities here from baking, arts and crafts, sing and sign and so much more. We also have a secure good size garden where the children play all year round.
I am very lucky with the location I live with 3 parks, a duck pond, playing fields, woods and the discovery center all within walking distance.
Days out which are planned included going to our local hands on farm, going to the zoo, play groups and more.
Watching and helping a child develop is the most rewarding job and I will help and support each child in my care with their development.
