Nikki was my daughters childminder from the age of 9 months old till 5 years old! She was cared for by Nikki full time Monday to Friday. Before finding Nikki I had always imagined Amy would go to a nursery for her childcare, however a friend suggested a childminder would be better for a child so young and more like a second family - "The Bruce's" were exactly that!
I visited a few childminders before meeting Nikki. I wanted someone that would have the same values as myself as would play a big part in bringing up my daughter. When I visited Nikki I knew I had found the right childminder! Nikki is so organised, nothing seems to phase her! The children are polite and show respect for her and the family home. The children alway have fun with Nikki, attending toddlers group, playing at the park and meeting with other childminders in the community etc. Nikki's own children Scott and Katie are a credit to herself and husband John, lovely kids who are great with all the childminding children.
Amy speaks about Nikki all the time, she has played such an important role in Amy's life! My dad always tells me how good a job I am doing with bringing up Amy, and then corrects himself - how good a job Nikki and I have done!
I cannot recommend Nikki enough, she really is one in a million!
