Nicola Kendrew's Reviews

Childcare gold dust

When we found out Nicola had some space for our first child we were over the moon, having met her previously at the local playgroup she runs with some other childminders in the village. Nicola was always the person our son gravitated towards and she really helped him to settle when he struggled so much being left at first. Nicola went on to care for our son and then our daughter and we could not be happier with the standard of care she provides. Both children love being with her, and we love knowing they are safe and having all of their needs met. On top of that they have both really progressed and have been supported amazingly to meet all of their milestones. Although our son is now in school full time, he loves any opportunity to head back to Nicolas, and even called his first build-a-bear Nicola! When I ask the children what their favourite thing is about Nicolas, one said ‘everything!’ and the other said ‘Nicola’ 🥰

We feel very lucky

I consider myself to be extremely fussy when it comes to childcare for my children, sending them to Nicola’s has been the best decision I have ever made. I have sent all three of my children from a young age to Nicola’s setting and they have all flourished in her care. Nicola offers a range of activities from crafts and painting to water activities and trips out to the local library, soft play and park as well as further afield to places like Harlow Carr gardens and Harewood House. It’s an amazing home from home environment, my children can’t wait to be dropped off and are always excited to show me what they have been up to. Nicola always plans activities based on your child’s interests, for example on a rainy day during lockdown, she set up an indoor obstacle activity for my one year old as Nicola had seen my child enjoying climbing, Nicola really goes above and beyond for the children in her care. Leaving my children with Nicola is just like leaving them with family and in such a warm and welcoming environment, We feel extremely lucky to have found Nicola and cannot recommend her highly enough, she truly is an outstanding childminder!

Amazing!!!

Nicola has been our daughter’s childminder for approx 2.5 years and we couldn’t be happier! Our daughter is excited to attend Nicola’s setting and is often upset when it isn’t a ‘Nicola day’. The setting is child oriented, safe and inviting. Nicola goes above and beyond for the children in her care and is a first class childminder. If you manage to get a place you have secured gold dust.
