About Me
Hello! Welcome to Naomi’s Cosy House. I am an Ofsted registered childminder located opposite City Hospital, Nottingham, NG5.
We are a small team of experienced and dedicated childcare practitioners.
We provide a home from home, warm and friendly environment where parents and children are made to feel very welcome and are cared for with patience, compassion and empathy as it is in their "own home" environment.
Each child's needs is assessed and we work with parents and guidance to provide an individualised care plan to meet their developmental goals at their own pace following the rules and guidance of the early years governing body Ofsted curriculum, Early Years Statutory Framework (EYFS)
All children are cared for in a warm, spacious and comfortable house which includes two separate play rooms, a purpose-built conservatory with spacious front and back gardens. They will have access to lots of toy equipments to play with and occupy their inquisitive minds.
A well-equipped, quiet and separate sensory room is available for children's use. As part of the activities, children will be taken to local libraries, local play groups, and park. There will be opportunities for children to participate in different social children's activities like circle time, group play, exploring and being a team player with their peers. Each child is nurtured and supported to develop and learn at their own pace.
We work with parents and guardians to keep them involve in the children's activities through sharing of their developmental activities work, goals and accomplishnent of the children both at home and at our setting with each other
Every child is born into this world with a gift or talent. We liaise closely with parents to create individual care plans in order to develop their cognitive, physical and emotional development. For each child that passes through our setting, we go the extra mile to make this happen.

Niki is a brilliant childminder. She is very warm, caring, professional and helpful. Our daughter attended Naomi's Cosy House and she loved it there. Her speach has greatly improved and she has learned many new skills. Our daughter is a fussy eater and with Niki's help she started trying new foods. We were regularly receiving updates and photos of activities Ella participated in. Our little girl would come home after each day and say: "Niki fun." Communication between the setting and parents was brilliant and I could always count on helpful advise with things like potty training, different meals to try, etc. Niki has helped our daughter overcome her reluctance to go on a potty and thanks to her our daughter is out of nappies now. She helped with transition to skipping a nap and weaning her of a dummy. Niki has always welcomed Ella with a big great smile and tried to engage her in a chat or a silly play so that Ella would let go of mummy without crying. Ella is our first born and she was never in a nursery before she turned 2 years old and I was anxious with her being away from her family. Soon, I was happy to see that she was in the capable hands of Niki. She made sure Ella tried new activities to see if she had any favourite, that's how we found she loves painting. I would absolutely recommend Naomi's Cosy House to any parent.

My son has been cared for by Nicki for the past 2 1/2 years. My son has autism and adhd- it was partly due to this that placements in other settings had not been successful. Nicki welcomed my son and made it her goal to ensure his every need was met. In addition to this she attended further training to further understand his condition.
Trust has always been a struggle for my son but he trusted Nicki implicitly. He felt safe and secure in her home.
Nicki would always ask my son what he would like for his evening meal- something he always looked forward to. Even to this day he will often say “it’s not as good as Nicki’s”.
Nicki felt it was important for my sons development that he found an interest and hobby. She took it upon herself to research football teams in the local area. She even visited a training session to scope out the possibility of him attending. This proved a wonderful idea and his confidence and social development rocketed.
Education is of paramount importance to Nicki and she always made time in the day to ensure any homework was completed- or in my sons case try with all her might to encourage him to try.
Nicki would always work hard to arrange day trips in the holidays that all the children would enjoy. My son had an incredible day at a safari park.
I can openly admit that due to previous experiences that I can struggle with trusting people where it comes to caring for my son. I can say with my whole heart that I have never, ever doubted Nicki’s abilities to care for my son in a safe, warm and caring environment.
Communication and mutual respect was always a given and I’m glad to say we had a wonderful working relationship. I value and respect Nicki whole heartedly.
My son, at times made things challenging but Nicki never gave up on him and always did all she could to support and understand his needs and feelings. This is something I will always be eternally grateful for.
Nicki has always been flexible and understanding of my work and supported me fully as a single working mother.
I am sad to say our contract has ended, this is purely due to my son going to secondary school.
In a nut shell- if you are seeking a childminder who will always put the individual needs of your child at the forefront- Nicki is the lady for you. Truly amazing lady.

My son attended Naomi's Cosy House for a while, only recently leaving. He absolutely adored going there. If it wasn't for a change in work hours I would still be taking him!
I felt safe in the knowledge that my son was well looked after, fed, educated and was having fun. Healthy meals were given and my new turned fussy eater was catered for!
They would always go the extra mile with being flexible and nothing was too much trouble.
My son was also regularly taken out on trips i.e. to the park.
Overall a fantastic service, very highly recommended. My son was so upset to leave and often mentions everyone still up to now.
Thanks again Naomi's Cosy House!

My daughter Sade started at this setting with Nicki a littl over two years ago now, and from the start it was pleasant to see the bond they formed. Not only was Nicki a great help to our family with childcare but has also helped my daughter develop mentally and emotionally throughout her time there.
I am pleased to say that as a carer, Nicki has stepped forward beyond her remit and has become a friend who my daughter still talks about dearly. Always professional and there in an emergency without question a great start in life for the young ones in her care!

Lovely team! I wanted a Childminder that had my child's best interest at heart.
My son, Matthew was with Naomi's cosy house for just over 7 years. He was 4 when he started.
He has just finished with NCH because he is now old enough to take the bus to school all by himself! I'm impressed by how he's matured.
I'm a nurse at QMC, so worked very long hours. If I was running late or had to be called in for a hospital call, they would help me with childcare, even on short notice. When I did night shifts, he slept there and he was fed and taken to school the next morning.
I must say, his schoolwork improved tremendously while staying here. Matthew is in year 7 now, he is in Top set for all classes.
Want to take this opportunity to thank naomis cosy house for all they have done for my son and I. Highly recommended xx
