My Summary
I Have 1 Full Time Space And 2 Part Time Spaces Left Now For September 2025.
About Me
I have been childminding for 30 years with a huge amount of experience.
Ofsted Outstanding grade 2024.
I have lots of references from present and past parents if you wish to read or chat to them.
I also offer school holiday care for primary school age children.
I also have an assistant working with me.
My Experience
My last Ofsted inspection was a Grade of Outstanding in December 2024.
My house has been extended to accommodate childminding with a large playroom holding a wide range of different toys, own toilet and hallway area. This gives the children ample space to play in the playroom and use the other rooms for cooking activities and lunches.
I have a large enclosed garden for the children to play which includes a climbing frame and summerhouse for more role playing toys.
My Qualifications
I qualified in 1991 with a Grade A in the N.N.E.B.
I have a current First Aid certificate, which is renewed every 3 years.
Also a Safe Guarding certificate.
Over the 30 years, I have been on lots of training courses, which help me plan activities for the children to enjoy. I still go on training as you can’t stop learning new things.

The setting has Three (3) spaces available from September 2025.
One full time - Monday - Friday
Part time - Monday, Tuesday and Friday

We’ve been so happy with Nicky and the care she provides for our child. From day one, she made us feel completely at ease, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares for the children she looks after.
Our daughter absolutely loves going and always comes home happy and full of stories about what they’ve done that day. The activities are always fun and varied — from crafts and outdoor play to learning and socialising with the other children.
Communication is excellent — we always know how the day has gone and feel involved in our daughter’s routine and development. Nicky’s home is warm, welcoming, and safe, and we really appreciate the thoughtful touches that make it feel like a home away from home.
Nicky has really helped our daughter to be school ready, and we’re so grateful for the support and encouragement she’s given her. Our daughter is only leaving because she’s now going up to school — otherwise, we would have happily stayed with Nicky for many more years.
We honestly couldn’t ask for a better childminder. Thank you so much, Nicky, for giving our daughter such a wonderful, nurturing start!

My daughter has attended this setting for 2 1/2 years. Nicky offers excellent childcare care and has a beautiful setting to go with it. Not only is there a wide range of activities to do in house she also takes the children on regular days out to places such as the zoo, the farm, activity centres, the park and many other places.
Nicky follows the early years curriculum and has taught my child so much while being with her, getting her ready and confident to start school.
My eldest daughter also loves visiting Nicky and will often stop by for a visit.
Would absolutely recommend this setting and Nicky to anyone I know and if I had any future children they would be going to ‘Stay ‘n’ Play’ with no second thought.
