Nicky has cared for my eldest since he was 18 months (now 6); and our youngest (2) since she was 10 months and hope to use her for future children.

Our children have really found a second home with Nicky. Time with her is like time with extended family. The children have so much fun - going to play groups; feed the ducks; arts and crafts; music time; learning; soft play; beach and so much more. Even when my 6-year-old has gone in the holidays, Nicky will find activities to cater for his age and development.

In addition, Nicky is super with helping all children reach their milestones and can adapt to any situation.

Communication is also always great. Nicky keeps us up to date through a WhatsApp chat and sends pictures and updates each day. She is also usually flexible if we need to swap days etc for any reason.

Overall, Nicky is an absolutely lovely childminder. I would not want to send my children to anyone else. Definitely recommend!
