Average Rating: 5 stars (5 from 12 reviews)

Nic is an outstanding childminder with a remarkable ability to engage and care for children. She has a natural talent for making each day full of exciting activities, creativity, and learning that my daughters adore. Both of my children have always had an amazing time in her care.

In addition to her exceptional childcare skills, Nic is a very supportive and approachable person. She is always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have as a parent. I have often sought her advice on a variety of issues and she has never failed to provide me with valuable insights and tips.

My daughters have been attending Nic's since they were babies, and they still love going there during term time now that they are in school. Nic has created a warm and nurturing environment that my children feel comfortable and happy in. I am grateful to have her as my children's childminder, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent childcare.

Our daughter has been going to Nic for almost a year now and loves it. Never any tears on drop off / pick up or any of the days out they go on. Plenty of updates throughout the day along with arts and crafts at times of the year. No hesitation in recommending Nic or Katie who she works along side with. Thanks again

Nic was our first choice to look after our daughter and I’m so grateful that she was available to do so! Our 13 month old daughter started with Nic just over 3 months ago and settled in straight away. The transition period was seamless as Nic kept us up to date on a regular basis on how things were going and what to expect. We still receive daily updates and photos showing the amazing jam packed days they’re experiencing. We have total piece of mind with Nic looking after our daughter and know she is in safe hands and enjoying her days there. Thank you!

My son has been with Nic since he was 18 months old and is now 3. He absolutely adores Nic and loves going to her house when we go to work. My son was previously at a private nursery, but we were concerned that he was not getting the attention he needed. Since moving him to Nic, he has made amazing progress and it is the best decision we have made! He is now so independent and has come on leaps and bounds with his social skills.
Nic really makes sure she takes the time to get to know each and everyone of her little ones and their families and it is clear just how much she loves each child she cares for. Nic keeps parents up to date with key information on their child's progress and always sends lots of lovely photos and videos to show what the children have been up to.
Nic makes everyday both fun and educational and the children have so many lovely trips out and opportunities planned for them. My little boy comes home each day full of stories of his adventures with Nic, Nic! She also takes the time to celebrate a range of holidays with parties, crafts and activities such as for Christmas, Halloween, Mother's and Father's day. She also makes a real fuss of the children on their birthdays, making each child feel truly valued and special.

Nic is a truly wonderful childminder and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a kind, caring and supportive childminder for their little one!

My Son has been with Nicola since day one and the service she offers is second to none. Shes made me feel able to leave my son with her without any concerns from the very beginning. She goes above and beyond in every aspect of his care and her communication is excellent. Highly recommended.

Nic is a genuinely caring childminder who always has the children’s best interests has her priority.

Our daughter has been with Nic since 9 month old and is now nearly 3. She has progressed amazingly well since she started childcare with Nic, days with Nic are always engaging with interesting activities and trips out.

All of Nic’s kids are polite, well mannered and enjoy their time in Nics setting. We highly highly recommend childcare with Nic.

My son has been going to Nicolas for one and half years. Before that he was in a nursery setting and didn’t settle very well and would often cry when I left him which was very upsetting. The change in him once he started with Nicola and Katie’s was amazing. I would leave him there without feeling guilty as I had often done in the previous nursery.
Throughout his time with Nicola and Katie, he has made some lovely friends and has a great time. He learns and his imagination play has really improved. I am regularly kept up to date with what they get up to and it really feels like a home from home setting.
Nicola and Katie really care for all the children and go above and beyond to make sure that they are all looked after well. The children often get involved in activities for special occasions such as Christmas and Easter activities, they have special days for their birthdays.
It was the best decision I made to change his childcare to Nicola’s setting and I can honestly say that he has enjoyed his time there throughly and has lots of happy and fun memories. I would recommend Nicola 100%.

Thank you Laura, it has been a pleasure to look after T and we know he will do amazing at school. We will hopefully continue to see him during school holidays and look forward to hearing all about it !

My little boy has been with Nicola and Katie since he was 6 months old, he’s now two. They have been nothing but amazing, he is with them 4/5 time’s a week and he’s always going some where, they and doing activities, no day is the same.
I have updates and photos the days he is there and the kids are always doing something fun and educational.
Even with the lockdown happening they are in constant contact, they do online stories and even dropped off Easter crafts outside our door.
I couldn’t be any more happier with Nicola and Katie, they both go above and beyond.. it’s not just a job to them I know they adore my little boy and I couldn’t think of having him anywhere else.

Nicola has been my daughters child minder from her being 1 years old and now she is nearly 3. She is amazing and my daughter has learnt and developed soo much from being in her care. Nicola is very knowledgable and approachable and great to go to for advice. My daughter loves Nicola, Katie and all the children there and developed some lovely friendships that she will attend Fens school with. I originally had my daughter in a private nursery setting and took the decision for her to be with Nicola instead and it was the best decision I ever made. Nicola takes the children to lots of places such as play areas, parks, sport, shows, forest school, farms, role play places and much more. She has lovely room for the children and garden which the children love, she has regular topics and themes and hosts Little parties for Christmas, halloween and birthdays. Sadie regularly comes home with crafts and special gifts she has made during the day and I receive regular photos and videos of all the fun things she has done during her day. My daughter is so happy and loved and a part of the child minding family. Would highly recommend Nicola to anyone.

We have been with Nic since February 2017, at 10months old, until now and would not go anywhere else. She is an amazing childminder who my son loves to spend time with. Nic puts a lot of effort into making each day fun and educational, and as a result he is a very happy, confident little boy who has been brought on leaps and bounds. I really can not recommend her enough!
