If you need someone to take care of your child, honestly look no further. Nerina has been absolutely amazing with our little boy and we can't thank her enough for the love, kindness and fun she's brought into his world.

She treats the children in her care as if they're her own, really truly gets to know them and her home is very much an extension of our own. Our little boy has gone in every single day happy, come out happy and has had brilliant adventures along the way. They're always off in the local area visiting libraries, parks, playing pooh sticks or attending play groups - very rarely is a full day spent cooped up inside. We receive regular photos to see what he's up to with Nerina and it's so lovely to see him having fun.

Nerina is a warm, instantly likeable person who (after meeting many childminders before her) we immediately knew was the right person to hand over our most precious possession to. The children in her care are wonderfully taken care of, loved, comforted and taught wonderful new skills with patience and a deep knowledge of working with children.

Any family who winds up in Nerina's care is incredibly lucky. We feel blessed that she's played such an important role in our little one's early years and can't thank her enough for all of her hard work.
