To whom it may concern,

We had enrolled our 1y old child at a nursery near our home in Putney (5 minute walk). However during the induction we were not comfortable. Following this, we were recommended Nicola as a childminder who lives in Mortlake (20 minute drive), and during our first visit to see her, were completely comfortable to leave our child with her and happy to do the drive each way.

She has approached looking after our child with kindness and the utmost care. Her home is extremely welcoming, and we always notice the happiness of all the children there. It really is a home away from home for our little one who has been there for 18 months now. Her setting is a family setting, and the kids feel a sense of community with her. Moreover, we are always impressed by the activities she takes the children on, from visits to the Wetlands centre to Kew gardens and Richmond park. We have really felt that the environment is that of learning and development which has a very real feel to it. We cannot recommend her enough, and are extremely grateful to her for the time and energy she has spent with our little one.
