Sad to leave xx

Nicola has looked after my 3 year old son since he was 7 months old. As a new mum i found it daunting leaving my baby when i first went to work after maternity but nicola regularly sent me pictures of my baby smiling and having loads of fun.
i would highly recommended nicola as she is great with communication caring and my son loves her.

A Home from Home

AMAZING!!
I took my daughter out of a previous childcare provider and was very nervous due to the experience i had had previously...I cant explain how comfortable this lady makes me. She is fantastic, her house is immaculate and a very safe and friendly environment for a child.
I will be sending my daughter to her for a very very long time

Lovely and very profesional chldminder :)

We loved Nicola since the very first moment we met her. I believe she does a great job and you can tell she has loads of experience and passion. Our one year old daughter loves her. She became more sociable with other kids, started walking, mumbling Englsh words, but overall she looked very happy. I definitely recommend Nicola.

Please don’t send your children anywhere else!

We have known Nicola for 4 years now. She has looked after our baby since 6 weeks up until now at the age of four. We have never doubted her love or ability to care for our child and always feel secure in her abilities and the setting she provides. We often have trouble and tears trying to getting her out of Nicola’s house! She informs us at all times of what she has done in the day, always bringing home paintings, pictures, crafts or baking projects. She never forgets special occasions such as birthdays, and holiday celebrations and always sends homemade gifts and cards for these. She is the best childminder in West Bridgford and has always accommodated our needs when requested, often doing overnight and weekend care also. I would not leave my child with anybody else now, and have struggled to see anyone who meets her standards. The house and setting is perfect for little ones, as are the planned outings and trips so often undertaken by them. Thank you Nicola, you are our life saver!

Time waster !

I got in contact with Nicola inregards to her childminding services for my one year old. After liasing with her she said she had availability for my chosen day (Friday).
I asked questions etc and then asked to meet with her.
She then decides to tell me that she no longer has availability and has given someone else the space.

Surely as a professional you would let potentional parents know that the day may not be available due to.... whatever.

I wasted my time !

Im just pleased that I found out now how unreliable she is even before meeting my daughter.

I understand that she 'honoured' another parents request but maybe she should consider updating her page and letting other potential parents know that this is how she works.

Weekend /Overnight care Fantastic 5*

We found Nicola on here when we were looking for overnight care so we could have some quality time as a couple as well as a family. Nicola made us feel very comfortable and kept us up to date during the first night we left our daughter overnight with photos and messages. Nicola provided a hot meal, bathed and managed to settle Amber down very easily considering we have not left her with anyone before due to no family close by. we have also taken the advantage of weekend care with Nicola which gave us the opportunity for a weekend away for the first time in 2 years. Nicola provides all fresh meals, lots of fun activities and the knowledge your child is in a safe, nurturing loving environment. we can not thank Nicola enough and would recommend Nicola to anyone.

Home from Home Loving caring childminder 5*

I really struggled with the thought of going back to work after having my first daughter McKenna. But the moment I met Nicola I felt so relaxed and confident i was doing the right thing. Nicola is very caring and passionate about the children and her work. it is clear their happiness and well being is the most important thing. Nicola has a very loving home with a large variety of toys and equipment to keep them entertained. The sleeproom just for the childminding children is something I had not seen on any other visits and the garden is a lovely safe area with lots to keep them busy. Nicola looked after McKenna for just over a year until I went on maternity leave and I can not thank her enough for the love and care she provided. I highly recommend Nicola if you are looking for childcare 5* from me xx

Fantastic Childcare Highly recommend 5*

I was recommended by a friend who had a child already with a mr and mrs childminders she said they had a vacancy coming up and she could not sing their praises high enough.
After my first meeting i felt so happy and confident i had found the best place for Rosie to be when i could not have her and Rosie started the following month. Rosie has grown from a 4 month old baby into a happy confident and sociable little girl. Nicola and Steven are amazing with the children they are like a big happy family and most days Rosie did not want to come home! if any one is looking for a home from home environment where they can rest assure their child will get the time,love and attention they need i highly recommend you contact Mr and Mrs Childminders.
Sophie,Sam and Rosie
