I provide a home from home setting, we have a well equipped secure garden too. Me and my Partner both hold enhanced DBS's and have both completed Paediatric first aid course.

My Experience

I used to work as a financial accountant before having my two children. I decided to change career path in 2018 and work as a childminders assistant for just over a year before becoming Ofsted registered myself in 2020. I also did some part time additional babysitting from my house whilst I worked towards becoming Ofsted registered. I also have three children myself which has given me a lot of experience ?

Good
14 February 2023
Children flourish in a nurturing environment that promotes outdoor learning and independence. They enjoy close relationships with peers, spending ample time in the garden and allotment. The setting effectively supports personal development and confidence-building. Safeguarding arrangements are robust, and partnerships with parents are strong. Areas for improvement include enhancing self-evaluation processes and increasing opportunities to learn about diversity.

Fantastic

5 stars

Nicki has been a dream from day one, we moved to the area 2 years ago and I frantically had to sort childcare out. She was really helpful and reassuring in those early days, it's never easy leaving your child.
My son has now been attending full time for 2 years and he adores Nicki and her family. He loves the friends had he has made and gets rather sad when anyone is on holiday.
I am always surprised at the things he has learned and I love how she has supported and encouraged his development, he is such a happy, confident and content toddler.

Home from home setting

5 stars

If you’re looking for a home from home setting then Nicola is the childminder for you. Nicola and her family welcomed my son into their setting and it’s heartwarming to witness the affection showed by her children, and partner, which offers him a comfortable and safe environment to develop in. They are always involved in some new activity, but what I love the most is the education he has been given around growing vegetables and plants at the allotment. Nicola is conscientious about making sure everywhere is clean but more importantly a safe environment for the children to play freely.

My son has been in her care for over 2 years now and he absolutely loves going and playing with all of his friends. When we are at home and he does something new, like going for a wee on the toilet, he wants to tell Nicola because he is so proud but also wants her to be proud of him, which shows the incredible bond they have created.

I wholeheartedly recommend Nicola as a childminder and I am so grateful for the positive impact she has had in my sons overall development. It was tough in the beginning as he was a covid baby, but by working together we have successfully nurtured a confident, chatty and funny little boy and for that I will be forever grateful.

It’s always difficult choosing a childminder or nursery, but my son has definitely thrived in this environment and I have felt very comfortable with him in Nicola’s care, so I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
