NCCHILDC's Reviews

Excellent childminder

I couldn't be more grateful to Nancy, she is so kind and lovely and she have so much patience 🙏
Nancy has taken care of my daughter since she was 23 months old, till now that she is nearly 4 years old.
Nancy has helped my daughter a lot to develop her vocabulary in English, since we speak another language at home. I am very happy that my daughter can communicate well in two languages ​​and it is partly thanks to Nancy.
My daughter really enjoys goes to Nancy's, house, because they do a lot of different activities during the day, she absolutely love Nancy.

Nancy always keeps me informed of everything they do during the day, I really appreciate it.
Unfortunately I'm leaving London, and I know my daughter will miss her a lot.

Thank you so much for your review Abigail. I’m really glad you and your daughter have been happy coming to me, and using my services. We will all miss your daughter so much. Please keep in touch! Thank you again x

Everything I could of asked for

As a first time anxious mum, Nancy gave me everything I could have asked for.
I don’t live near family or friends so my son was with me constantly for over a year until I had to go back to work so finding someone I could trust with him was so important to me as he had never been left with anyone.
Nancy gave me such reassurance and provided my son with the best care possible.
He loved his days out with Nancy and his friends and I was always provided with updates.
Each day I would pick him up and hear how much of a great day he had and I could see how happy he was when I dropped him off in the mornings.
I found this helped me as I could see how happy he was and how much love and care he was having.
I’ve moved away from London now but if I hadn’t then Nancy would still be the person I would have looking after my children without a doubt.

Ahhh Lisa thank you so much. Wishing you all the very best of luck in your new home, and with your new arrival 💕 please keep in touch!! Your son is very missed, the children still talk about him. Take care! X

The best childminder

My son Freddie, has been with Nancy since he was 10 months old and he is now 2 years old. He absolutely loves Nancy, he runs into her arms every morning when I drop him off, and he also loves the family dog, Phoebe :) !! They're always doing something fun, no day is ever the same. Freddie is so happy there and he has learnt so much being with Nancy. I am so grateful to have found someone so nice to look after my son. We are sad to be leaving Nancy, due to moving house - we will miss her so much :( x x

Thank you so much for your lovely review Holly. I’m definitely going to miss you all, and am sad you’re leaving but wish you the very best in your new home. Please keep in touch!! X

Amazing, loving childminder

Nancy was everything we needed and more. After a particularly bad experience with a childminder when my little boy was 10months old, we somehow found Nancy 2months later. My little boy loved going week in week out to Nancy’s, she cared for him and all of the other children sending through videos of his day, taking him on daily trips to the library, play group, soft play, garden centres and many more. He progressed so quickly in her care and has developed into a loving, intelligent 3 year old. All of the children who Nancy cares for are kind and caring. She provides delicious and nutritious food for the children and her setting is very well equipped with an array of toys and games. Nancy provides a home from home for the children and we would have been lost without her.

Thank you for everything. We miss you a lot.

wonderful

We have been very happy with Nancy’s childminding.

I had my 2 boys in the big nursery and had doubts with my little girl, who was little more sensitive /attached to me compare than my other 2. Was originally looking for a nanny but then Nancy reached out to me, and I agreed to have a look despite I wasn’t sure the idea of childminding before.
And this turned out to be the best decision and I wouldn’t have it any other way around and would recommend Nancy’s setting without hesitation.

Nancy (and husband) has been treating my daughter as part of her family, and her own two children are amazing with all the children too. Nancy provides a wide, fun range of activities both in her (always well-organised) house and a good variety of outdoor activities.

I strongly believe in responsive, attached parenting, instead of throwing children with bunch of rules, especially with toddlers; And while we do also have structures and boundaries, I believe strong personal connection and communication are on top of everything, good understanding from both sides instead of black and white punishment and rewards (which normally happen in the bigger settings). And Nancy able to meet those needs, being flexible to our personal needs, while also introducing plenty of social skills and many more with her small group.
Excellent communication from Nancy what’s happening throughout her day (with lots of cute pictures) is a big plus too. My daughter is settled and happy and now 3 years in she has developed into a confident, polite, very sensible young girl with a lot of compassion for others.

We ‘graduated’ Nancy now and she’s off to the big school. Well done Nancy, we can’t thank you enough.

Thank you so much Amanda, I will miss not working with you and your family very much, but so happy ill get to see your daughter at school every day!

Nancy is fantastic!

Nancy looked after our twins and we have to say, her attention to detail with them is amazing. She really cares about the children she looks after and provides great feedback to parents during the days she is caring for them. Nancy prepares all of her meals from scratch. She provides a lovely home environment away from home and the twins have loved her caring for them. She’s great! Recommend her without hesitation.

Wonderful caring childminder

Nancy has been absolutely wonderful with our son Alfie. He has been with Nancy since April 2022 and although he only attends 1 day a week, from that very first day he has settled seamlessly. Nancy is so kind and caring. She really understands how to help children achieve their full potential while making every experience fun. Alfie loves to come home and tell us all the things Nancy has taught him, from recognising the first letter of his name to hopping on one leg. Alfie is always so happy to go and play at Nancy’s house. She takes them out every session and he always has the best day. Nancy is great at keeping us up to date with how Alfie’s day has been sending us lots of photos and videos of the different things he has done. After having a previously less positive experience with another childminder Nancy really has restored our faith in great childminders. Although Alfie’s time with her has been short, it has been nothing short of wonderful and both Alfie and I will be sad to leave at the end of August. I know that Nancy has set Alfie up so well to cope with his next stage of learning and we shall be forever grateful for this.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m sure Alfie will thrive in his new nursery setting! I’m so pleased you’ve been happy with my service. I’m hoping you’ll be my Ofsted inspector one day, it was lovely working with you.
Kind regards

review from parent

Our daughter Florence went to Nancy when she was just over 10 months old, four days a week.
She had an incredible experience and we will be forever grateful to Nancy for providing such excellent childcare.
Florence was certainly happy there. Everyday they used to go somewhere, whether it was a playgroup, David Lloyd soft play or a park. So nice that the children can get out at that age and this would not necessarily be possible in a nursery setting.
Nancy has a lovely manner with the children, so caring and kind. She helps them grow and is genuinely interested in their development. Nancy is really good at reinforcing manners with the children.
It really is a home from home setting. Nancys two own children were so caring with Florence and they really were like siblings, it was lovely watching them grow together. Nancy has a lovely house with great space indoors and outdoors to play. She provides all home cooked healthy meals.
Florence is so sad to leave Nancy and we are only moving on due to moving out of the area.
I would without hesitation recommend Nancy as a Childminder, she is fantastic and your child will be in great hands.
