Nina

Grateful ❤️

I would like to take a moment to express how truly grateful I am for all the love, care, and support you have given my son over the past two years.

From the very beginning, we have felt so lucky to have him surrounded by such a wonderful and caring team. Knowing that he was in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment gave us so much peace of mind as parents.

Thank you for every smile, every kind word, every lesson, and for all the little things you have done that have made such a big difference in his life. We have seen him grow, learn, become more confident, and develop so many beautiful skills during his time with you.

You have an amazing team, and it is clear how much passion and dedication you put into what you do. We will always remember these two years with great affection and gratitude.

Thank you for being such an important part of his early years and for helping him grow into the happy little boy he is today. We will truly miss you all and will always be grateful for everything you have done for our family. ❤️

Wonderful!

A huge thank you to Nina and the whole team for the care they have provided for our twins over the past 2 years. If it wasn’t for the convenience of sending all of our children to the same setting, they would still be there. The twins bounced into Nina’s each morning with a quick goodbye to us, and loved telling us about what they had done and who they had played with when they came home. They have both grown so much over the time they have spent with Nina and the team- they are both full of confidence now and have come on leaps and bounds with their communication and interaction skills. It was also lovely to see the relationships they had both built with each member of staff when we dropped off and picked up too.

I can’t thank Nina and the team enough for how they have cared for our children- thank you!

Forever Grateful to Nina and Her Amazing Team

We have been with Nina for 8 years, first with my son Martin and then with Gabriel, who is starting Reception this September. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better childminder.

Nina and her team are like a family-run business. They care for every child with so much love, kindness, and attention. They always take the children's feelings into consideration and make sure they feel safe, happy, and valued.

The children enjoy so many wonderful activities, including baking, building, trips to the park, visits to see animals, and even planting trees. Every day is filled with fun, learning, and new experiences.

Nina is one of the most caring people I have ever met, and the rest of the staff are just as amazing. She has always treated my children like they were her own, and she was like a grandmother to them. Knowing they were always safe, loved, and well cared for gave me complete peace of mind.

If you are looking for someone who will care for your child as lovingly as you would yourself, I cannot recommend Nina highly enough. She has been such an important part of our family's journey, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for Martin and Gabriel.

Childminder

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Nina. From the very beginning, she made our child feel welcome, safe, and happy, which gave us real peace of mind. It's clear how much she genuinely cares about every child she looks after.

Our child has grown in confidence, enjoys the fun and educational activities Nina plans, and always comes home with a smile and exciting stories about the day. Nina is warm, patient, reliable, and keeps us updated, so we always know how our child is doing.

Knowing our child is with someone so caring and dedicated has made such a difference to our family. We can't recommend Nina highly enough and are so grateful for everything she does.

Profesional and dedicated

Nina has been taking care of my daughter every day for the past two years, ever since we arrived in England, and I couldn’t be more grateful for everything she has done. From the very beginning, she created a warm, loving, and safe environment where my daughter has truly thrived.

Nina is not only caring and patient, but also incredibly dedicated and professional. She has played a huge role in my daughter’s growth, confidence, and development — both emotionally and socially. My little girl absolutely adores her and always looks forward to spending time with her.

Now that my daughter is moving to a new nursery, it is very difficult for both her and us to say goodbye. Nina will always have a special place in our hearts as the first person who played such an important role in our child’s early years.

We feel so lucky to have found Nina. She has become like part of our family, and I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and wonderful childminder.

Fantastic childminders

Nina and her team have been beyond amazing with our little boy in the time he spent with them, they really do go above and beyond with the children there. After just a short period of time our little boy was running in in the mornings and finishing the day with huge smiles!

You can tell they are busy with different activities on a daily basis and spend as much time outside as possible which was really important to us.

We can’t thank you all enough for all the love and care you have given him, if you are looking for a team of people who care and give your children a home away from home this is the place XX

A Wonderful Childminder

I can’t speak highly enough of Nina and her great team. My daughter had a wonderful time in their care. She now started reception and she misses them a lot!
Nina and her team’s warmth and professionalism gave me complete confidence that my daughter was in safe hands. My daughter often came back with art works done at Nina’s. She was taken on outings to local parks, playgrounds, and even a garden center. It was clear she was thriving in the nurturing environment that Nina and her team created.
Thank you, Nina and team, for taking such great care of my daughter and for giving her such a joyful and memorable time.

A local legend

Nina is a local legend in East Oxford and her childminding highly sought after. She has looked after our daughter from around 7 months to almost 4 years, and is now looking after our 9 month old son. It has been a joy watching our daughter grow into a little lady at Nina's, and there's no doubt a lot of her confidence and ability to play well (both by herself and with others) has come from her experience there. We can't wait to see the same happen with our son.

Nina and her team are excellent and very experienced. The location is easy to get to by bike or car or walking, and situated next to a park, several local playgrounds and playgroups. The venue itself is a large and done up home plus garden area, which seems to constantly get updated and tweaked. The latest inclusion is a large outdoor climbing frame/tower with slides and swings attached. They do a variety of activities, which we get videos/pictures of. Besides visiting local parks/playgrounds, they occasionally take the kids further afield to forests or larger fields and playgrounds. Nina is always doing her best to accommodate our requests, even when they come very last minute (whoops). In 3 years, I think there was only a single day which was cancelled due to illness on her part, which seems remarkable to me. Most importantly: both our kids have really enjoyed themselves there and made good friends.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nina for any child from 6 months to 4 years old. As she approached 4, our daughter started needing a larger environment with more kids than a childminder can accommodate. However, plenty of kids evidently are happy there all until reception.

Finally, on behalf of me and my wife I want to express my thanks to Nina and her team for her care so far, and look forward to carrying on with our son.

Heroes!

Nina and her team took wonderful care of our two kids from the ages of 18 months to just before turning 4. Both of them loved their time at Nina's, and always returned home beaming after another fun day. Our son has autism, and he especially thrived at Nina's after a difficult experience with a previous childminder, so I would never hesitate to recommend Nina to the parents of other neurodiverse little ones in particular. We're very sad to see our daughter follow her brother in leaving Nina's care, but honestly cannot say enough good things about her time there. Thanks Nina & company!

Nina and her team are caring, kind and thoughtful

Nina, her family and team have supported our second son fantastically through his development. We have felt assured that his emotional and developmental needs are met with Nina.
Her team have understood our son, his interests, and his physiological needs (food/sleep) and adapted to them as he has slowly grown. We thank her and her team wholeheartedly for the care they have all provided.
Our son moves onto nursery now, as his brother did, and to allow us less time travelling as it is closer to our home.
We recommend Nina and her team to anyone. Make sure your communication style and your expectations regarding your child's needs are made clear from the start. This will help to ensure Nina and her team can communicate effectively with you and care for your child as you wish them to.
