Our daughter has been with Nikki since she was just 14 months old, and now, at 4 years old, she is ready to move on to the next stage of her journey. Looking back, we could not have wished for a more loving, supportive, and capable childminder during these precious early years.

From the very beginning, Nikki has been a constant source of warmth, care, and reassurance. She provides a nurturing home-from-home where children feel truly safe, valued, and happy. She understands the importance of outdoor play and gives the children plenty of opportunities to explore, learn, and grow in nature, which has been so wonderful for our daughter’s confidence and development.

What sets her apart is not only her genuine affection for the children but also her professionalism. She always keeps her training and certifications fully up to date, giving us complete peace of mind. Her communication is excellent — she takes the time to update us, share milestones, and listen to our concerns with patience and understanding.

She has also been wonderfully flexible, supporting us as a family whenever we needed a little extra help. Her reliability and kindness have made such a difference to our lives. Most importantly, our daughter has thrived in her care — she has grown into a confident, sociable, and curious little girl, and we know that so much of that is thanks to the loving foundation Nikki provided.

We will always be grateful for everything she has done for our family. I could not recommend her highly enough to any parent looking for someone truly special to care for their child.
