Nicola has been looking after my daughter, Katie since February 2013, when I returned to work full time after a year of maternity leave. I was very concerned about how both I and my daughter would handle this transition and looking back, I cannot believe how easy Nicola made this for both of us.

Katie settled in really well and gets on very well with all of Nicola's children, the elder of whom play with her and treat her like one of their own. Nicola provides her with a variety of nutritious, healthy food during the course of the day and I am always impressed by the variety of activities Nicola thinks of to do with such young children - far more than I could think of!

Nicola regularly takes the children on outings to the park, to a toddler group, a music class and she has been swimming with them. Katie certainly gets a lot out of her days with Nicola and she is always busy and happy when I come to collect her. Katie has learnt so much at Nicola's house and she reguarly comes home with new words.

Nicola is very flexible with times / days and was a huge help and support to my family when I was unwell. I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful childminder through this site and I can recommend Nicola wholeheartedly.
