My Summary
About Me
My name is Nikki and I am a mum of 3. I am very passionate about working with children and strive to give every child the best possible start in life. I hold a Level 3 Early Years Educator Diploma. My setting is Hygge Accredited, which means I have a large focus on that home-from-home, cosy feeling, whilst helping children to understand all their emotions and teaching them techniques to be able to self-regulate and build resilience. I am currently studying for my Level 3 SENCO qualification alongside working towards becoming a Curiosity Approach accredited setting. We have a lot of fun and enjoy trips out within the local community. Working in partnership with families is very important to me and I go above and beyond to make you feel as though you are a part of my own family.
There will be plenty of time to be creative and get messy as well as lots of dancing, singing and giggling.
I am constantly reflecting on the care I provide and my setting and enjoy learning and making improvements. You can see some of my qualifications listed below.
My Experience
I have many years of experience being a Mum and love being around children. My eldest daughter suffers from Severe Asthma so I have a great deal of knowledge of Asthma. This little lady confirms that children are such blessings and should be cherished. Create a memorable moment every day!

Thank you very much for your review and clarifying that the reason behind the 4 stars was due to not being able to come into the setting due to Covid-19. Here is hoping that we stay on the recovery path and you can enjoy plenty of visits with us.
