Nickie looked after my little boy when I returned to work in 2015 after a year's maternity leave. She is warm and loving and gives her all to the kids in her care; and her family welcome them into their home like they're part of the family!
Nickie has so much energy and there is never a dull moment ... The children are constantly entertained with a variety of activities ranging from singing nursery rhymes to dancing to painting to daily outings to playgroups, farms, parks and more! She is also patient and kind and always encourages positive behaviour so the children are well behaved and know what’s expected of them.
My little boy loved his time with Nickie and learned so much and I am so grateful to her for making my transition back to work easier knowing he was safe and loved and happy!
