About Me
***RECENTLY RELOCATED TO SWINDON FROM READING***
Hello parents! I am a mum with lots of experience. I offer child care because I absolutely love children and enjoy watching them learn and grow to become their own person. I offer a home from home setting, while following EYFS. We will sit and play together with lots of interaction, read stories, sing nursery rhymes (although in bad tune on my part), messy play, art and crafts, outings, child groups and much much more and all of this isn’t just because it’s fun but helps their little minds grow and learn. I am a genuine, nice, caring, warm, happy person that loves to help people where I can.
I will work in partnership with parents to support and enhance the development of the child/children.
I offer children a happy, safe and secure environment where they can learn and play.
I also do school drop off and collections for local schools. Ask for more details.

I also have experience with ADHD and autism. And also lots of twin experience.

Vicki and Eddie are amazing at what they do. My son has been going to them for a year and a half now and he has come on so much. He asks to go back once I pick him up and when he wakes up in the morning he is shouting “yay nursery”. Vicki and Eddie have a genuine love and care for the children in their setting and do so many activities with them. They are professional and always give a full break down of what the child did and how they behaved. I will forever be grateful for the love and care they give our boy and we can’t wait to see our baby girl grow and develop in their care.

I am very pleased with Vickie’s work as a childminder. She is highly professional, attentive, and caring in her approach. My daughter, Alex, is now three years old and has been in Vickie’s care for the past two years. She still attends full-time, from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, Monday to Friday.
Every day, I receive a detailed report highlighting the key activities and moments from Alex’s day, which gives me great peace of mind. Vickie provides a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment with plenty of space for the children to play. She also organises regular outings to local gardens, playgrounds, and other child-friendly locations, always with parents’ knowledge and consent.
Vickie’s dedication and professionalism have been consistent throughout, and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for exceptional childcare.

Vicky and Eddie have felt like such a blessing having them take care of our little one whilst we are work. I’m sure it has been said before but it really felt like a home away from home for us which is what I wanted for our little one, especially in the earlier years of development. Our little one has come on leaps on bounds and really gets great socialisation with the other children in the setting and they love all the group activities together. Il

My son loves Vicki and Eddie. They are truly wonderful people, always ready to offer support and assistance. They are also very accommodating and willing to work with you if needed. My little one enjoys going there every morning, and he has learned so much in just six months (he's just 2) I Highly recommend them.

Our daughter has been with Vicki and Eddie for the past three years, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better start to her early years. The only reason we’re leaving is for her to attend nursery in preparation for big school - if we could, we’d keep her with them forever.
Vicki and Eddie have created such a warm, nurturing, and inspiring environment. Our daughter is curious, imaginative, and full of joy, and so much of that is thanks to the experiences and care she’s had with them. She absolutely loves going and takes part in a wide range of activities every day. Vicki always keeps us updated with what they've been up to, which we’ve really appreciated.
They’ve also been incredibly supportive during the more challenging stages e.g. helping her learn to nap (she never napped alone at home!) or guiding us all through potty training. They were patient, understanding, and always had her best interests at heart.
She’s made such lovely friendships with the other children, and it's clear that all the kids in their care are genuinely happy and thriving.
We’ll always be grateful for the care and love they’ve given our daughter. Without a doubt, choosing this setting was the best decision we made.

A home away from home for our children who have benefitted enormously in terms of their development. I love Vicki and Eddie's professionalism in providing knowledge and expertise how to best support our twins. They are open/honest to address any concerns and provide suggestions to help support our girls. They provides a large variety of activities plus theme parties and walks/ outings, they have a lovely outside space too for children to use. If we would to rate 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My 2 year old daughter loves being here, sometimes she doesn't want to leave! She talks constantly about her friends here and all the activities they do.
Vicki has always been flexible, regularly provides updates and photos, and genuinely cares about our daughter which is the most important thing to us.

My 4 years old daughter absolutely loved going to Vikie.
Vikie creates a loving, caring and safe environment for kids and offers warmth and comfort that any child needs. My daughter settled in very quickly with her and enjoyed every moment spent with her.
It is lovely to work with a childminder as Vikie. Highly recommend.
