My Summary
About Me
I am a mother of a teenage daughter. I have lived in Pembrokeshire for over 20 years now, having moved from North Yorkshire.
I am a non smoker.
My aim is to provide a home from home environment for children of all ages which is fun,happy, safe and stimulating. I care for all children as I would want my own child to be cared for after all our children are the most important and precious people in our lives. I offer a wide range of activities including home based play such as arts and crafts, baking,role play and lots of various toys for all ages that cover all areas of physical, intellectual, language, emotional and social development. I have a safe garden which holds various outside play equipment.
I also take the children on outings such as visiting local playgroups the beach,Library, Park and nature walks. We also attend a sing and dance class once a week and any local events that the children may find interesting.

I have over 25 years experience of working with children ranging in ages from 6 weeks to 18 years. On completing college I started working in a private Day Nursery working in the baby room. I rotated around the Nursery and worked with children aged from 6 weeks to 8 years. After two years I bacame one of three Senior Nursery Nurses which gave me more responsibility within my role as a childcare provider.
After four years in this employment I moved to a Special Needs School In County Durham and worked with children with Special Needs and challenging behaviours.
In 2002 I moved to Wales and began working in local Childrens homes with children ranging in age from 8 years to 17 years. My role in this job was one of a house parent, not only did we run the day to day of the house we also looked after the young peoples needs in every manner. Within this job I became a key worker which also involved a more indepth relationship with my key child and organise appointments with Social workers and counsellors etc.
Once my Daughter was born I qualified as a childminder. I have looked after children varying in ages from 4 months to 8 years with in this role.

Our little one bonded so quickly with Nikki's warming and loving nature, along with her gorgeous dog Otis!!! It's such a shame we didn't find her sooner than we did. After being put off by his previous setting, Max felt so comfortable at Nikki's house and I had every confidence that he was safe and cared for at all times. Nikki has a wonderful heart and does so many activities with the children. Her home is cosy and inviting and really is a home from home setting. A true representation of what the perfect childminder should be! There aren't enough starts on here for how fabulous and amazing this lady is!!

My son went to Nikki every Thursday afternoon for nearly two years and I can truly say we love her so much and will very much miss her! Nikki always took the time after every session to discuss my son’s progress and what he had been up to and I always felt confident leaving him with her. Nikki was also a huge help identifying my son’s speech delay, something that had crossed my mind several times but I wasn’t sure what was age appropriate (he was one at the time Nikki mentioned she would expect more sounds and babble from him) this prompted me straight away to get a referral and has meant we saw to the issue quickly. Nikki really does has a gift with children and we will very much miss her, I have come to class her not just as my son’s childminder but also a friend.

My eldest daughter has been going to Nikki since she was 9 months old and will sadly be leaving for full time school in September. We have always had and excellent, professional and family orientated experience. Excellent activities and learning for the children daily. Our youngest daughter has just started and settled in immediately. Nikki is definitely a huge part of our family now and our girls love her and her own family.

My boys have been with Nikki on and off for close to 7 years. Nikki has been absolutely amazing with both my boys and they absolutely adore her.
Her home away from home setting is perfect, jam packed with fun and so inviting for the little ones.
Nikki takes the children out and about on educational and fun visits and she always offers different fun activities for the children at home.
I for one have put my complete trust into Nikki caring for both my sons and she has honoured that trust above and beyond!
I can’t recommend Nikki enough! You will feel at ease immediately because her way with children is so natural.
Thank you Nikki for the respect, admiration and love you have shown to my boys, we will always be grateful!xx
