Below are the latest reviews for Nicola. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk.

Nicola has been with our family from January 2025 to the beginning of July 2025, caring for our beautiful boy, Luca. During her time with us, Luca absolutely flourished. He adored her, and it was clear to see that she loved him just as much in return.
Saying goodbye to Nicola was incredibly painful for us — she truly became part of our family. The only reason we had to part ways was due to relocating an hour away from our previous home. Otherwise, we would never have let her go.
Nicola is everything you could wish for in a nanny and more: kind, caring, loving, patient, and endlessly creative. Her bubbly energy filled our home with warmth, and we feel her absence every day. She didn’t just care for Luca — she created a nurturing, joyful environment that included her two beautiful girls and her lovely family, all of whom we came to adore.
By the end of her time with us, Nicola wasn’t just “the nanny” — she was family. We cherish her deeply and miss her presence more than words can say.
If you are lucky enough to have Nicola care for your child, know that she will go to the ends of the earth for them. She is one of a kind — a truly rare and special person — and it was a privilege to have her in our son’s life.

Thank you so much for a lovely review! Thank you for trusting me to look after Luca and make the most special bond and amazing memories with him ❤️ Thank you for making my girls feel so welcome! We miss you all so much already 🥹
We can’t wait for our catch ups and to make lots more memories with you all 🥰❤️
Nicola is a very warm and lovely person.
We couldn’t have asked for a better nanny! She cared for our baby with so much love, patience, and attention to detail. Always punctual, gentle, and incredibly trustworthy. Our little one absolutely adored her, and we felt completely at ease knowing our baby was in such capable hands. Highly recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Thank you for trusting me to look after Elizabeth we had so much fun together! It has been lovely getting to spend time with you both. Hope to see you again soon 🥰
We flew from Toronto to Liverpool to watch the Premier league game at Anfield. However, we had a big challenge of finding a trustworthy babysitter for about 5 hours (which was also a weekend). But, i found Nicola through childcare.co.uk by reading her reviews & she was absolutely fantastic. We met a day before our game & Nicola was introduced to our 1.5 yr old baby. The next day she picked him up from our accommodation & dropped it after our game was completed. Our baby boy really enjoyed spending time at Nicola's place while playing with her 2 adorable daughters. She kept the baby engaged in playful activities & we were quite happy with her support throughout. I would highly recommend Nicola to anyone looking for an experienced, punctual, caring & honest baby sitter.😊

Thank you so much for your kind review, it was lovely meeting you all and spending time with Ved he was an absolute pleasure to look after. Hope to see you all again soon when you are back in Liverpool. Take care 🥰
Nicola has been a great help to myself recently as I needed childcare support for two weeks. She has always been punctual, maintains communication and clearly loves working with children. She has a kind and gentle approach with my son who was happy to be with her. I have no hesitation in recommending her for childcare support!

Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review, I loved spending time with Ethan and getting to you know both. I love the bond we made over a short period of time and hope to see you both again soon 🥰
Nikki was a dependable and caring nanny for our two toddlers over the past 13 months. She was consistently on time, reliable, and provided a safe, warm environment for our kids. She would bring with her a bag full of games and crafts. We appreciated how she kept our children engaged with age-appropriate activities, helping them learn and play in ways that were fun and educational. Nikki would prepare food for our children, clean up after them, and read a book and put my youngest down for a nap after lunch. She took the children on days out, to playgroups and even had little parties for them on birthdays or holidays (christmas, halloween, easter etc).
Nikki was also very communicative, keeping us updated on their day and any little milestones. She made a positive impact on our family, our children love her and we are grateful for the time she spent with us. Thanks Nikki.

Thank you for taking the time to write me a review, I absolutely loved my time with you all as a family over the past 13 months and will miss you all so much 🥰
We hired Nicola to come and look after our 2 year old son. After a couple of bad experiences with nurseries we were quite nervous and had a hard time choosing a nanny. It was clear within a couple of hours that we had made the right decision with Nicola. Our son took to her immediately and nothing was too much trouble for her. She'd arrive equipt with a bag full of games and learning aids and it was amazing watching just how much our little one came on week by week because of all of the activities Nicola would run with him. But more importantly he loved every second of it. Nicola would do lots of arts and crafts and days out and send us regular updates and daily reports. Throughout our time working with Nicola we also got to know her lovley children , who our children developed a fantastic bond with. Can't recommend Nicola enough. Thanks for everything Nic!

Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. I loved my time with you all and making the best memories with our children. Thank you for being such a lovely family to work with and being so kind and welcoming towards my girls. We miss uses lots already but can’t wait for our catch ups 🥰❤️
Where do I start?!
Nicola is an angel in human form. She genuinely saved me at the time I needed her most. My little one was 4 months at the time and I’d been searching for a nanny to help out in hopes that I’d be able to go back to work part time. I was really worried as my LO was only ever around me and my husband. So I was anxious about her not warming up to Nicola.
Not only that but my LO was also only used to napping either on me or very rarely would allow ONLY me to put her down in the crib.
On the very first day, Nicola worked her magic and got her to nap within minutes! I was in shock.
Ever since then, it’s been nothing but good memories with Nicola! She’s super professional, so friendly and SO creative! From all sorts of messy play to days out in the farm, the list is endless!
My LO loves Nicola now and there’s no one I’d trust more with my baby. Choosing Nicola has been one of the best decisions I’ve made my life.

Thank you so much for the amazing review! I absolutely love looking after Talia and look forward to our days together each week 🥰❤️
Nicola was a god send for me and my clingy little girl.
She's so lovely and calming that my little girl settled in with her straight away.
Nicola does lots of activities throughout the day which I was kept upto date with, with lots of pictures and posts on a private Facebook page between me and my family, which was lovely to see how she was getting on.
My little girl enjoyed her time with Nicola and I felt so relieved to have someone I trusted with her apart from family.

Aww thanks so much Vic I have loved every minute looking after Prim she’s such a credit to you both. Thank you for your kind words and for being such a lovely family to work with 😘
Like every other parent you are always worried to leave your little one with someone you don’t really know but Nicola changed that for me. She is so professional and knows how to do her job. My little one jas seperation anxiety but Nicola managed to cope well with and to get my little one settled. She sent me updates throughout the day and pictures too. Nicola also helped me with good advice to work on little ones seperation anxiety. She is organised, clean and she knows how to do her job. Great time keeping, patient and honest. I would highly recommend Nicola! She is an absolute star and I will definitely hire her again.

Thank you so much for your kind review. It was lovely to meet you all and Nailah is a pleasure to look after. I look forward to spending more time with you all in the future 😊
I needed Nicolas help looking after my 1 year old and three month old. I’m happy to say she done a fantastic job with my two and it was lovely to get picture updates on how my little ones where doing. Nicola knows her trade all too well - she uses her initiative and fulfils her job with such professionalism as a nanny.
Thank you Nicola x x x
