• Confident, nurturing care for premature babies and young infants

I am:
• OFSTED registered

I work in a calm, respectful way, offering guidance where helpful, while always following parents’ wishes and each baby’s individual needs.

“I will be forever grateful for Nicky. She supported me in ways I didn’t know I needed. Nicky picked up on my son’s RSV and bronchitis, getting us to hospital in time. I truly believe he recovered more quickly because of her instincts. She even stayed overnight in hospital with him, advocating for us and keeping me updated while I rested and fed my twin at home. If only everyone could have a Nicky!”
— Clare, mum of twins, Surrey (2025)

“Dearest Nicky, we can’t thank you enough for all that you have done for us, with endless patience and good humour throughout. We just love your company, and I could never have imagined feeling so comfortable with someone new in our home at such a vulnerable and precious time. Huge thanks once again from us both.”
— Parents, Putney, London (2025)

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

We were incredibly impressed with Nicky and would recommend her without hesitation.

I first met Nicky at a music class and genuinely thought the child she was caring for was her own. When she told me she was actually a nanny, I immediately knew she was someone I would trust with my daughter.

Nicky came to look after our daughter for a full day, and from the moment she arrived, we could see how fantastic she was. She instantly engaged with our daughter, getting down to play with her straight away, and within minutes our daughter was laughing and having the best time.

Nicky has a natural warmth and ease with children that is hard to find. She made both us and our daughter feel completely comfortable, and it was clear she genuinely enjoys spending time with children.
We felt confident leaving our daughter in Nicky's care and returned to a very happy little girl.

We will definitely be using Nicky again in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other families. She was absolutely brilliant.

Nicky has babysit for both our little ones (1 & 4). Friendly, open, brought books for them and facilitated bedtime so we could go out. Followed bedtime routine beautifully and kept LO calm and happy when woke before be got home. Have used multiple times and would recommend. I am sure her maternity nursing is just as wonderful!
