Absolutely brilliant....and my little girl agrees!
I found Nicki on here in October and she started looking after my little girl (who was then about 8 weeks) once a week. As a first time mum, I'd never had any experience with childcare and didn't really know what I should be asking and was rather nervous about leaving her with anyone. However, the first time I met Nicki I instantly felt comfortable in her home and more importantly she's great with my LO. My LO is clearly very happy as often doesn't want to go home!! lol
Nicki is one of the very few people I trust with my LO and I'd highly recommend her to anyone. It's a huge relief to of found someone like her. A fab find. :-) xxx

Communication
I have just recently started to use Nicki for school runs and holidays after a positive recommendation from another parent. My child can be shy when meeting new people but has settled in really well with just a few sessions. It can be hard to entrust your child to somebody else but I am really happy with Nicki and would highly recommend her.

Nicki looks after my two children and I feel totally confident that they are being well cared for. They both enjoy going to her home and joining in with the variety of activities that are offered to them.
I was kept fully informed of my pre-school age child's daily activities both verbally and through an online system.
I would definitely recommend Nicki as a childminder.

Overall
Nicki has looked after 2 of my children from babies, they are now 8 and 10. They have always looked forward to going and i have always felt relaxed about leaving them.
Nicki is always calm and allowed time for the children to settle, communication is very easy either face to face or using a software package to view day to day details.
We have also found Nicki to be extremely reliable also flexible to the needs of both child and parent where possible.
We would not hesitate to recommend Nicki to anyone considering placing their child in her care.
