Vikki is, quite simply, the best. Her wonderful setting provides the best of both for her young charges: a home from home, with the professionalism and knowledge of a nursery/pre-school setting. Alongside the marvellous Amy, Gemma and Claire, Vikki has nurtured our little girl and supported us as a family with her flexibility and years of experience. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We truly feel like our daughter has been given the perfect start with her 'second family' and we will be forever grateful for the foundations they have built for her.
We have been lucky enough that our older children also attended great settings in different areas, but we struck gold when we moved to the Wirral and found Vikki and her vikings for our youngest! She has had the added bonus of live-in pets and Vikki's own family, who show the same level of care and affection to the children as Vikki and her team. It is heart-warming to see.
If you want your child to reach their potential in the very best of hands, then this is the perfect choice. Superstars!

Vikki, Claire, Gemma and Amy are an exceptional team and I am so happy sending our little boy there. I searched and searched for childminders & nurseries I liked but knew this was the one from the moment I entered. Being a teacher, I find here really has the right balance between educating the children and letting them also have fun and be cared for in a relaxed and personal way. Vikki provides a caring and nurturing environment and it really is a home from home. Our little boy attended from 8 months old, and at no point was I ever anxious to leave him. I was actually really eager for him to start as I knew he would have a fantastic time and he was being kept safe and loved by everyone there. I really like how it’s bigger than a normal childminders but smaller than a nursery and he gets to be with children of all ages and regular members of staff.
Our little boy gives the biggest smiles when he arrives and it is clear Vikki and her staff know every child and their personalities & needs individually. Our little boy also has a milk allergy but he is catered for exceptionally and I have never had to worry about what he’s been eating. Vikki always works to follow our routine but has also really helped us improve his eating and sleeping. Despite moving a little further away, we still keep attending Vikkis Vikings full time as I cannot imagine him going anywhere else. Vikki’s own children are also so loving and helpful towards our little boy and we feel so lucky to have somewhere for him to go and grow up. Thank you to all the Team!

Vikki and her team have been amazing the past 18 months after moving my daughter there from a local nursery. It’s like a home from home environment with a special room dedicated to the children, which is bright and colourful, full of well kept toys and plenty of variety so each day my daughter played with something different or could play with familiar toys which she often found comforting.
The facilities are great, very clean and food variety is good too.
It’s great the children get out for walks a couple of times a day and sometimes do activities away from the house.
Vikki is super organised which is exactly what you need when you are a busy mum trying to get to work in the morning!
We wouldn’t send our children anywhere else now and have highly recommended her to our friends.

Vikki, Claire, Gemma and Amy are an outstanding team. Vikki provides a caring and nurturing environment for our boys. They are very happy with Vikki and I know that they get to enjoy a home away from home. Vikkis communication is excellent and she is always one step ahead of me with our needs! I honestly can’t praise Vikki’s little vikings enough, it means everything to know that my boys are safe, and with people who genuinely care for their little personalities as well as their physical needs! Truly excellent child care!

Our daughter has been with Vikki for almost two years now and is thriving in the calm, caring and creative environment that the staff create. Whether singing, dancing, yoga, colouring or playing outside, every day is an adventure.
We love that Vikki has a dog (and other animals) this enriches our daughters experience and has helped teach her confidence and respect for animals.
Communication and organisation is exceptional (I would give 6 stars for this if I could!). We also really appreciate the flexibility (we only have term time) and variety of activities that our daughter enjoys. She loves spending time with the Vikki, Gemma, Claire and Amy, they are a really lovely team and our daughter talks fondly of all of them.
It is great to have regular opportunities to go through the learning journal and see the photos and learn more about what she's been up to, we're also really grateful for the daily updates sent home in her book.
I can't recommend highly enough, it is no wonder their is a waiting list!

When we were looking for somewhere for our son we happend to get a recommendation for Vikki and we have loved every minute of it. It was the best decision we could have made as we know our son is in the best possible place. He has grown so much in the time he's been there and we are very proud of him and grateful for the hard work and effort that's been put in to give him the best start.

We could not be more happy and grateful that our son attends Vikki’s little vikings and feel very lucky that there was an opening when we needed him to attend! Sadly I had to return to work when he was only 6 months old and was so apprehensive about leaving him, but Vikki and her amazing assistants put us at ease straight away. Nothing is too much trouble and they are all so friendly and welcoming. Our son absolutely adores going there and it really feels like a home from home! It really is the best place he could go when we have to work and we don’t worry at all when he is there. The food, activities and learning opportunities are fantastic and with competitive rates, we couldn’t ask for any more. We jumped at the chance of putting our second baby’s name down on the waiting list before it’s even born! We highly recommend Vikki, Gemma, Claire and Amy to anyone who is looking for outstanding childcare and the best care their child could receive!!

My 2 year old has been coming to Vikki’s since January 2018 and he loves it, so much so that my 5 year old is constantly asking when he can go too! I am lucky to have found such great childcare, and all of the girls are kind and good to chat to too. It’s a first class service yet very fair, eg not charging for bank holidays or weeks over Christmas when closed. The play room is well resourced and I like the fact that the kids often go outside. Highly recommended!!

Vikki is an absolutely amazing childminder. She is extremely professional, organised and flexible. My two daughters (4 and 7) have been going to Vikki since she started and have been very happy. Their time with Vikki is well structured and disciplined which is excellent. Vikki and her team work extremely well together and everything runs very smoothly. I have 100% confidence in Vikki and am also amazed at the beautifully presented learning journals she produces showing all of the work and lovely photos of their progress. Vikki is also an excellent communicator which is essential for any working parent. When my children go to Vikki they are well fed with home cooked meals. I asked my youngest daughter what she likes about Vikki and she said ‘her jelly!’ Vikki is part of our family and I am so happy and relieved that my children are looked after by her. I don’t know what I’d do without her and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other parents - thank you so much to Vikki and her team.

Vikki, Gemma, Claire and Amy are all amazing. They are so friendly and really care. My daughter always has a fun time when she's there and I love reading the updates in her book giving me a little insight into her day. Vikki is the most accommodating person ever, she bends over backwards to help and be flexible. I trust all the staff there 100% and can't speak highly enough of them. I would recommend Vikkis Vikings to everyone who has a little VIP xx
