About Me
I’m Nikki and I opened my Home Nursery in lockdown. I enjoy being outside and exploring nature, also providing exciting activities from the children’s very own interests.

My daughter went to Nikki's when she was only 10 months old! She listened to all my worries and made sure that my daughter settled in well. She regularly kept me up to date with pictures and messages about how she was settling in and updated me daily on everything she had done that day. Nikki is so creative and always sets up such interactive and engaging activities for the children. Her food always smelt amazing in the mornings too! My daughter doesn't attend anymore due to the age range and hours but I would certainly take her back to Nikki's in a heartbeat! She often asks to see Nikki so we enjoy visiting during the half term.

It is truly difficult to find the right words to explain how amazing Nikki is! She looked after our son from 9 months old and from the moment we first visited, we knew we had come to the right place. Nikki is so caring and an absolute natural with young children. As well as this the communication she provides is above and beyond, we were always receiving lots of photos and messages about all the fun activities our son was doing! Nikki always puts 100% effort into everything she plans according to the EYFS framework. We would highly recommend Nikki’s childcare to anyone who is looking and cannot sing her praises enough. Thank you so much Nikki!

If I could give 10 stars I would!! Nikki is an exceptional childminder who has played a vital role in shaping our daughter's life over the past two and a half years. Her impact has been truly remarkable! One of the most outstanding qualities of Nikki is her genuine care and affection for the children under her supervision. It is evident that she sees each child as an individual with unique needs, strengths, and interests and she goes above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where the children feel safe, supported, and loved.
Nikki's dedication to fostering a love for learning is truly commendable. She understands the importance of exploration and encourages my daughter and the other toddlers to discover the world around them - whether it's through engaging activities or imaginative play, Nikki provides a stimulating environment that sparks curiosity and eagerness to learn. As a result, my daughter has developed a genuine passion for discovering new things and has become an enthusiastic learner!
Nikki's impact over the years has been immeasurable. Her loving nature and commitment to character development have had a profound influence on our daughter's life! We are so grateful to have found such an extraordinary individual who has become an essential part of our family's journey! Thank you for everything!
