We are very happy with Nina, our girl is going to Nina since she was 11 months old and sge is loving it there. Even on a weekend we have to always explain it to her that she is going on monday back, and she can't wait. We do recommend Nina for sure

Both of our children have had very happy times at Nina's. It is a perfect mix of the familiarity of a childminder and the interaction with other children that you'd get in a nursery setting. Nina has always been so accommodating to our needs which has been so useful as our childcare requirements have changed over the years. She is always very thoughtful sending home cards and gifts on special occasions throughout the year and also sending videos when the children seem upset in the morning to show that they are fine and settled later on. Thank you Nina and the team for all your care and hard work with the children and it feels very sad that it is Hannah's last day!

It is sad that we are moving to Glasgow and had to say goodbye to Nina and her team. My boy first started with Nina since July last year. Harvey had only been with Nina for nearly 6 months but what she has done in taking care of Harvey is absolutely amazing. Harvey is a bilingual kid and he got late speech delay. Due to organised play session in Nina’s settings, Harvey has stepped a lot from counting, singing and now making conversations. Nina kept updated regularly about Harvey’s development and helped us a lot in his progress. Harvey loves Nina so much and he had enjoyed going to Nina’s place by keeping saying “Nina” name constantly. That shows how much love he got for Nina. Thanks again for your great service Nina xxx

My little boy started going to Nina's when he had just turned one. He had never been away from me before and I was nervous about leaving him for a full day at childcare. Nina kept to much the same routine that he had at home and soon he had adapted to the change and was thoroughly enjoying his experience there. Nina knows that every child is different and she is attentive to different parents' needs; she listens and gives regular feedback and no query is too small. Her colleagues are equally friendly and approachable and work hard for the children. I got regular videos and photos which kept me updated on his progress during the day. In the warm weather they spend a lot of time outdoors playing on the various activity boards and toy vehicles. I liked how the ages mixed and helped each other. The environment is nurturing and children are encouraged to share and be kind to each other. They are also encouraged to be creative and my little one was always coming home with a painting or drawing or craft. I highly recommend Nina and her team.

Nina and her wonderful colleagues have been like extended family to us and our daughter over the past 2+ years. The setting is like something between nursery and family. There are lots of fun and educational activities as well as outdoor play, and a strong emphasis on everyone looking after one another ("caring and sharing", as Nina says). We have particularly appreciated the way that the children of different ages mix together - not long after our daughter started at Nina's the older toddlers were helping her get more confident on her feet, and now she can pay it forward to the little ones coming up behind her. Best of all, Nina & co. just love her (and all the children!) and she loves them - it was such a wrench to begin with, when our little one was just a baby and so seldom out of our arms/sight, but now (just turned 3) she protests on having to come home at the end of the day! We couldn't recommend Nina more warmly.

My elder son started going to Nina since we moved to Oxford in 2016 and when he was a year old and he was there until he was 4 years old and started school. Before coming to Nina my elder son was very quiet and finding it hard to settle with other kids is in the previous setting but since he has started with Nina he was very happy settled very well with all the kids. Nina and her lovely team engage very well with the son and looked after my son very well, they did various indoor and outdoor activities with my son and helped with my son's communication and socializing skills.
I have trusted Nina as a family member, she is very caring and my son was always happy to go to Nina.
Now my younger son has also been going to Nina since he was 6 months old, we have moved from oxford to Didcot but still, I prefer to send my son only to Nina as my younger son settled well in her setting and happy.
Nina has always kept me updated with the progress of my son's development and engages him with different activities which he enjoys. Nina has good childcare skills and looks after my son very well and knows what exactly they want and keeps parents updated with any changes or progress my son made.
Nina has been very friendly, reliable, trustworthy, and flexible and when I needed her help even at the last minute she would try her best to support.
my elder son loves to go to Nina when he gets term holidays as he always enjoys going to Nina & enjoyed her setting.
I would highly recommend Nina and as she & her team are brilliant support for my kids & family.
I would highly appreciate all the effort she has kept to transform her setting based on COVID guidelines and following the safety of children.
Many Thanks, Nina, her family & the lovely girls Lisa & Laura you are all the best Team.

Nina has been absolutely amazing with our daughter. We have been sending our little one to Nina s for the past 3 years and we are so sad now to have to leave for school. But the memories our daughter has made there will not be forgotten. Nina has been like a second mother to all the children there, she has made sure everyone feels included and made to feel loved. Every birthday, Christmas, Mother's / Father's day she has made sure children and parents alike feel special. The children there learn how to appreciate nature (a lot of flower / leaf picking and projects with dried leafes), they do cooking, learn to cross the road, go shopping ,read books, do art with ricyclables. There are so many activities organised for them, both indoors and outdoors. We send packed lunch but Nina does morning and afternoon snacks for the children which most times it's something they all prepare together. We have never had any issues there. Even with Covid, Nina has taken all the possible measures to make sure the children are safe to return. We always felt at ease knowing our daughter is well looked after and happy.

We had to move our little boy (then just 2) as the previous childminders were unable to manage normal toddler behaviour & didn't want him anymore. So we were anxious about finding a friendly & interesting place for him. The set up is great as it feels like a nursery with lots of outdoor space & so many toys. They do lots of activities from craft, turn taking games with other children & music. We are so grateful to Nina & co. He loves it there, they're very friendly & his speech has come on lots. Just wish he was there from the age of 1!

My daughter Ginette started going to Nina when she was only 4 months old and only left now and she is 4 years old.
I have trusted Nina like a second mum. She is very caring and positive and was a very good influence in Ginette’s life. I know she genuinely loved Ginette.
We moved home when Ginette was two and we looked for other childminders in the area but after 2 bad experiences we decided to take her back to Nina and drove back and forth for over 30mn a day. We knew Ginette was in good hands.
Ginette met her best friend at nina and she has always been so happy. Nina organises many stimulating activities indoor and outdoors. Ginette always comes back home with some sort of craft work and she is very proud of it.
During lockdown Ginette missed Nina a lot, always asking about her and now that she is no longer going she keeps asking me how often we can go and visit her.
Overall l have no idea how l would have done without Nina in the last four years.
