Childminder in Mansfield (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
*Part time space available September 2026* Suitable for a family eligible for funding, looking for 2-3 days per week.
My name is Nikki Evans, I have been childminding for 10 years now. I live with my husband and 2 children, ages 8 & 10. We also have a puppy called Rosie, who all the children adore. She is a 6 months old toy poodle. As she is a toy breed she will stay small and adorable. She loves children as much as the children love her.
My childcare setting; I live in a 4 bed detached house located on Kirklington Road in rainworth. We use the whole of downstairs while childminding. The children all love our garden, which is quite big with plenty of equipment to keep the little ones entertained.
I aim to provide a home from home, somewhere comfortable and safe. I provide plenty of learning and play opportunities to keep the little ones engaged and stimulated.
We don’t stay in all the time, we enjoy getting out lots. We enjoy going to playgroups, play dates with friends/other childminders who have children a similar age. We are very fortunate to have Wheelgate and White post farm close by, these are places we also enjoy visiting.
I offer places for babies from 6 months - 3 years old.
Government funded accepted.
I am happy to stretch funding to cover school holidays. I am also happy to offer term time only place.
Feel free to contact me if you would like more information or to arrange a visit.
Thank you,
Nikki

Nikki has looked after both my children over the last few years and I can't recommend her enough! I always had complete peace of mind that my children were in the best care and they always had plenty to tell me about their day!
Nikki goes out every day to play groups and activities, provides healthy food and plenty of activities at home, like mud kitchens, messy play etc. Nikki was always sensitive to our needs - one of my children has allergies and Nikki worked to ensure his needs were met. We never had any issues.
Reliable, fun, and a lovely person too. Highly recommend!

Nikki is a lovely, caring, compassionate and overall brilliant childminder.
She is very conscientious, always checking if both of our girls needed anything and going out her way to ensure she tied in her activities at home with what school were working towards.
Her setting is lovely, always clean, and both our girls loved to come to her house every morning. She always made a variety of meals, ensuring our children had a choice of what they liked.
Unfortunately, due to a change in circumstances, we had to stop using her services, but we would not hesitate to contact her again if we needed childcare in the future.
