Outstanding Care, Love, and Support Every Day
We cannot recommend Victoria highly enough. From the moment Hakan joined her setting, she, Nigel, and the girls welcomed him with so much warmth, kindness, and genuine care that what could have been a big transition became completely seamless.
Moving from the care of his previous childminder was a significant change for our little boy, but Victoria & Nigel created such a loving and nurturing environment that he settled in almost immediately. As parents, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is happy, safe, and genuinely loved, and that is exactly what Victoria provided every single day.
One of our favourite things has been hearing Hakan say all their names and seeing the excitement on his face every morning as we turn the corner towards their house. His enthusiasm speaks volumes about the relationships he has built with Victoria and her family and how much he enjoys spending time there.
The care, attention, and affection they have shown Hakan during these important early years have been truly special and have played a huge part in his development and confidence. As he starts his next chapter at nursery, we can only hope his experience there is even half as wonderful as the one he has had with Victoria and her family.
On a personal note, Victoria has also gone above and beyond for our family in countless ways, including helping us out during stressful moments when we needed it most. Her kindness and support have meant so much to us.
Thank you, Victoria, Nigel, and the girls, for everything you have done for Hakan and for our family. We will always be grateful for the love and care you've shown our little boy, and we are truly going to miss you all.
With heartfelt thanks,
Ahmad, Habiba, Jemimah & Hakan ❤️

thank you so much. he will be missed and is welcome any time
My daughter has had Vicky childminder her for over 4 years, my daughter has come on leaps and bounds from the encouragement & learning skills, of play, outside play, days out, which she has been given in the care of Vicky.
I would recommend Vickys childminder services for your child to feel cared for and you not have any worries, she encourages your children to develop, to get them ready for school.
She is caring, patient & all round a lovely person, who will make you & your children feel welcome and safe.
My daughter loved being in the care of Vicky & we still now keep in contact.
Highly recommend :)

I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a caring and trustworthy childminder for my 2-year-old and 1-year-old daughters. From the very beginning, she has created a warm, safe, and nurturing environment where both girls feel happy, comfortable, and excited to attend.
My eldest daughter wakes up looking forward to going to “Vicky’s house,” which says so much about the loving and positive environment she creates. Both girls have built such a lovely bond with her and are always happy and settled.
She is patient, attentive, and genuinely cares about each child’s development and wellbeing. I've seen such positive growth in both of my daughters. She always keeps me updated on their day, activities, meals, and milestones, which gives me peace of mind.
I especially love how much she encourages the children to explore outdoors, take part in activities, and learn through play and new experiences. It’s wonderful seeing my daughters grow in confidence while enjoying nature and being active.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, loving, and professional childminder.
