My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Nicola, I'm 47 married and have three beautiful children of my own aged 20,18, and 11 years. I'm a full time Ofsted registered childminder with over 20 years experience in childcare. I work along side Hayley who is 42 and also married and has a beautiful 7 year old little girl . She has over 13 years experience in a autistic residential school. She too is registered with ofsted, and we both have paediatric first aid certificates . We have two Lhasa Apso dogs, a tortoise and 1rabbit. We love to be active and enjoy many outdoor activities, as well as cooking and socialising with family and friends. Our setting is a real home from home experience. We go on lots of outings to toddler groups, play areas, parks, castles, the library, and swimming to name but a few. We also have a vast array of resources and toys at home to keep everyone happy stimulated and enjoying lots of fun whilst in our care. There's also always cuddles and kisses a plenty here so why not give me a call to discuss your childcare needs. we do school pickups and drop offs at st botolphs church school knottingley .
My Experience
I was a nanny for many years before having my own children. After their arrival it seemed a natural progression to register as a childminder and continue in a career that I loved whilst still been available for my own children. I have a level 3 childcare certificate, N.N.E.B nursery nursing qualification, first aid certificate, food and hygiene certificate and I'm Ofsted registered. Hayley has recently joined me as a partner in my buisness after taking a 4 year career break to bring up her little girl . She has 13 years previous experience working in a residential school for autistic children. She has a level 3 certificate in childcare and is also paediatric first aid trained and holds an enhanced DBS certificate .

Nicola and Hayley are amazing and they really do care about each of the children who attend. We were worried when our son first started attending as he had not been in a setting with other children before. He was welcomed with open arms and was running to the door on day two! It really is a home away from home! Thank you both, we could imagine life without you now!
