If you want to be 100% sure that your child is safe and receiving the developmental experiences they need, then get in touch with Nicky.
From the moment we left after our first visit with Nicky, we knew we had found a fantastic childminder. As first time parents we have found Nicky's experience and knowledge invaluable.
Our daughter loves being with Nicky and we are always amazed with the incredible physical and social skills that are developed every week.

Thank you xx
I was very stressed in my research for a childminder as it is so scary to find the right person but I found Nicky and she has always been even better than what we could have imagined.
Our little boy has a big smile every morning when I drop him as he knows he is gonna have so much fun with all the activities they are doing. He really feels at home!
I also want to highlight how helpful Nicky has been with her advises but also her flexibility she is a true support to our family I could not recommend her more!

Thank you xx
It’s a pleasure to provide highest recommendations to Nicky! She has been looking after my 17-month-old son for a few months now, and I'm very glad we’ve found her. Her house it's always very clean, has a great setup for the children, a variety of toys and a great backyard space. Nicky does various activities where some are truly educational exercises, so our son can learn and have fun at the same time. I found this very important at this early stage of his development. She really loves what she does, and you can see that in every detail. Nicky has a "good way" on teaching my son rules and good manners, she works together with us on any issues, so we can all do the same as a united team.She keeps us updated throughout the day about our son, which is a blessing for a mama's heart. Nicky is very flexible, and I really appreciate it. I cannot recommend her enough.

Nicky has been looking after my two children (ages 4 and 7) for years now, and I cannot recommend her enough! My kids love her, and I know they're always in safe and capable hands when they're with her. She's endlessly patient and always speaks to the children with respect (something that I really value). Nicky plans fun activities for the kids: they often do crafts or learning activities and spend a lot of time playing outdoors. She even offered to plan some special learning activities for my older son who has learning difficulties. Her house is well set up for children--it's clean with a great outdoor space and plenty of toys. She makes sure that the children are safe at all times. For example, when she dropped my son off at football, she went out of her way to make sure that all of the football coaches were aware of my son's nut allergy and kept his epipens in a suitable place. Additionally, Nicky is really flexible, which makes my life so much easier. We're so grateful to have Nicky has a childminder!

Thank you very much for the lovely review it’s very nice that you sent that way with me thank you again Nicky xx
Nicky looked after our little one for almost two years and we couldn't have been happier- we found her by luck at first, really tight with time. She proved to be perfect (and more!)! She is so flexible and generous with her time- and kids love her. Her house and garden are very well set up and they all love the daily activities. Our little one started saying in the morning " I wonder what toys are out today"- although she also let them have free play with their chosen toys. Nicky take the kids out all the time, and every week there are lots of fun and educational activities. My wife loves the daily pictures we receive also and we both love the fact that never once has our little one not wanted to go- every morning is so easy thanks to Nicky! A truly caring, kind and flexible childminder- we really feel we found a gem by chance!

Thank you so much for a nice fifth review xx
Our daughter was with Nicky for two years until we moved away from London last April- and from April to July, we still drove to her daily as we didn't want our daughter going to anyone else! she is now starting nursery in the primary school two minutes walk from home but even now, 45 minutes drive from Nicky, we still call her occasionally to look after Sarah when we need as we trust her so much, and we know Sarah always loves going back to her house and her family. And we are so lucky and soooo grateful that Nicky is always so caring and flexible and happy to help out (holidays or term time!).
I cannot recommend Nicky enough. Your little one will be in safe and truly caring hands- not to mention all the lovely daily activities (Nicky loves craft!) and all the great times outdoor (which my daughter always loves!).

We sent our 2.5 year old daughter to Nicky for a 2 months period as I needed extra support during that period. My daughter usually took some time to get on with a new face. But Nicky was so good at kids that she played with her right away. During the 2 months, my daughter was looking forwards to go to Nicky everyday and always talked about her at home.
I could see Nicky really gave her heart to the kids. She provided detailed care and held a great variety of activities on art, math, languages, biology, outing and more. The setting was like a little nursery if not more. And she has a great approach to kids to teach them good attitude such as waiting for their turns for the toys.
My daughter had an amazing time with Nicky and I felt so lucky to have found someone I can fully trust. Absolutely highly recommended!!

Due to COVID-19, our son never been out for a year and his behaviour became quite aggressive. We have found the right childminder Nicky, she had a warm welcome and a good way about her work with my boy. We are so pleased with Nicky but didn’t have much time.

Nicky has been looking after our 3 year old daughter for over a year now, and we could not be happier! Nicky is kind, caring, flexible and most importantly, I can leave my daughter with her knowing she is in safe hands! Nicky is great and Sarah loves spending time with her- Nicky has the perfect balance of planned activities, taking the children outdoor and learning / baking etc.! She does not take many children as she wants to be fully involved with them all and that makes for a perfect "home from home" caring environment. My daughter always talks fondly of what she does when she is at Nicky's and we are never in a position where she does not want to go (even after the long summer holidays!)- quite the contrary: she will happily hush me away in the morning, keen to get on with her day of fun with Nicky. I cannot recommend Nicky highly enough to all those of you who may be (like me) an anxious mother! Nicky sends pictures everyday as well as an account of how the day went! Entrusting your child to Nicky will bring you peace of mind when you see how caring, kind and organised she is.

I cannot recommend Nicky enough! She’s provided a safe and warm environment for both of my children, ages 2 and 5. Both of my boys adore her and love to chat away about all of the fun things they do at Nicky’s house. She plans a wide variety of fun and educational activities for the children every day, which has definitely helped with their development. She also takes the children outdoors often, even in cold weather, which they really enjoy.
Nicky has been particularly great during the coronavirus pandemic. She has gone out of her way to keep the children safe and healthy, including not taking on any more children. I’ve been quite cautious during this time, and Nicky has been really receptive about listening to my feelings on how best to keep my children safe during the pandemic. She’s also been so flexible and accommodating, which has been a blessing during this uncertain time. I am really grateful to have Nicky as our childminder and I would recommend her to any parent.
