Childminder in Bromley
My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Nicola Gibberd, and I’m an Ofsted-registered childminder.
I offer a warm, home-from-home setting in Bromley, where children can feel relaxed, supported, and free to explore. My setting includes plenty of outdoor activities in our garden, as well as regular trips to local parks, woodland areas, and forest school sessions, helping little ones connect with nature, stay active, and develop confidence through play and discovery.
I’m excited to welcome families who value a caring, family-oriented approach to early years care, with a strong focus on outdoor learning and fun.
My Experience
I bring over 10 years of experience working with children in education, and I’m also a mum of four, so I truly understand how important it is for children to feel safe, nurtured, and happy every day.

We honestly could not have asked for a better childminder for our daughter (2.5 years old) who has been with Nicola for the last 9 months. She provides such a warm, kind and supportive environment where our little one feels incredibly happy, safe and cared for. There is always a wonderful variety of activities and opportunities to explore, learn and have fun, and it is clear how much thought and effort goes into making the children’s days enjoyable and engaging. What makes the environment particularly special is the genuine home and family feeling. Her children and her sister are all very involved and engaged with the children too, which creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our daughter absolutely loves spending time there and has clearly developed a very special bond with the whole family. As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing that your child is not only being so well cared for, but is also genuinely happy and thriving. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough. We are truly grateful for everything she and her family do for our daughter.

Thank you so much for such a beautiful review. Your kind words honestly mean so much to me.
It is an absolute pleasure caring for your little one. Watching her grow in confidence and become such a happy and funny little character has been so special. She really is a joy to have with us, and we all adore her.
Creating a home-from-home environment where children feel safe, loved and happy is everything I hope to achieve, so knowing that’s how you feel means the world. Thank you for trusting me with such an important part of her early years. I feel very lucky to have your family as part of ours.
