Nicola has been nothing short of incredible with our son, and we genuinely can’t believe how quickly the last two years have flown by. As a family, we are absolutely gutted that it’s time for him to move on.

From our very first meeting, Nicola made us feel completely at ease. Her home is warm, welcoming, and safe, and it’s immediately obvious how much love, care, and dedication she gives to every child she looks after.

Our son absolutely adores Nicola. Every evening he asks if he’s going to Nicola’s the next day, which says everything about how happy and settled he has been. She plans a wonderful variety of activities, from playgroups and soft play to trips to the park and other local outings, ensuring every day is fun, engaging, and enriching.

Nicola also puts so much thought into helping the children learn and develop. They regularly enjoy arts and crafts, sensory activities, and experiences you would typically expect from a nursery, leaving us with a fridge full of treasured artwork and special memories. She even made sure the children had a lovely graduation celebration and sent us some great photos, which meant so much to us.

Returning to work after maternity leave felt so much easier because we knew our son was in the best possible hands. Nicola gave us complete peace of mind every single day and always made sure to give us updates and photos and that is something we will always be grateful for.

If we were lucky enough to have another baby, Nicola would be the first person we’d contact to secure a place. We truly couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is an exceptional childminder and has played such an important role in our son’s early years.

Thank you, Nicola, for everything you’ve done for our family. We will miss you so much.
