We left our twin toddlers with Nikki for the day whilst we took part in a running event. They had a fantastic day packed full of activities - from painting fairy doors, to dressing up, to playing in dens with a picnic. As we do not live locally we had not met Nikki in advance of the day, but her communication was great and she asked lots of questions about their likes and dislikes, so we knew they would be in good hands. And throughout the day she shared pictures, so we knew exactly what they were up to and that they were having a great day. They didn't want to leave....

When I decided I would like a childminder for my little man Nikki was recommended to me straight away. After finding out a place had become
available I went to meet Nikki. Straight away I found Nikki and her family warm and friendly I knew then she was the one for me! Nikki could cater to the hours I needed straight away. Since been with Nikki my little man has come on leaps and bounds his confidence has soared. Also his manners are fab he's learnt so much with Nikki and we se going to miss the whole family! Only reason for leaving is we are off up north. If you are looking for a childminder who you want to trust leaving your pride and joy then Nikki is the one ?

Excellent!!!
Nikki kindly looked after our 2 boys aged 3 and 5, for 6 hours on a sat morning whilst we holidayed in Pembrokeshire and my husband and I ran a trail run. I cannot more highly recommend Nikki to any prospective clients and will definitely use her again when in the area. This was first time we had left the boys with a 'new face' (both attend nursery and school so used to not necessarily having us on tap, but with faces they see on a regular basis), and thus possibly needed more reassurance and confidence in a potential new child minder to look after the boys to ensure the period went smoothly for them, and that we wouldn't worry during our time away from them. Alll I can say is Nikki was truly fabulous.... She made the boys so welcome with her cheery, warm, engaging and caring disposition, had oodles of different toys, made play dough with them, took them out on a pick nick and much more to make one of their favourite days of our holiday with her! They still speak of her so fondly, and ask when we may see her again! Nikki went the extra mile with phone calls/emails before to find out about the kids and for me reciprocally to find out about her, offered to meet them the day before so that they had met her (which unfortunately we were unable to do), and sent regular photos to us on the day of their activities for a visual update. Nikki is extremely professional and has a breadth of experience and qualifications under her belt which was also critical for us. This combined with her lovely manner with children makes us feel like we landed on our feet when we used her! Thank you so much once again and we hope to see you again soon! The bradford clan

From the moment I left my son (aged 8 months) with Nikki, I never looked back. My instincts told me that I had nothing to worry about and that my son would be well cared for - I was right. I have no hesitation in recommending Nikki and have absolutely no regrets employing her as my son's childminder. I really do believe she met his emotional, educational and development needs and he certainly enjoyed the "home from home" environment which in Nikki's case was a fun and loving environment. My son thoroughly enjoyed his time with Nikki, enjoying plenty of activities from days out, library, parks, playgroup to name but a few as well as enjoying crafts, reading and cooking. As a first time mother, Nikki provided me with all the help and support I needed, without any pressure, and I'm truly grateful to her for that. Nikki has a very pleasant personality, is conscientious, extremely professional and capable. You wont regret employing this lady to look after the most precious thing in your life.

Nikki had been our first choice for many years due mainly because our children love staying with her and we feel like we have no worries once our children are left with her.

Leaving my children before going back to the work place after so long off is never easy but having someone like Nikki to rely on is wonderful.

Through my day at work i have updates on how they are doing and what fantastic activities they are doing in a safe and secure enviroment that is a home away from home. Just what we wanted for our children when we leave them.

The great thing is with Nikki's childminding is the diversity of activities. Art. Cooking. Exploring. Playgroups to socialize. Learning. It all is a nurturing to progress enviroment that is wonderful.

My children are the most important things in my life, childminding costs are not important. But when you know that your child/children are safe and progressing that is truley priceless.

Nikki has cared for all three of my children from the age of 6 months. She is an exceptional childminder, I never worry about leaving them as they are engaged in so many activities, cared for in a home environment and are full of laughter. Nikki will go the extra mile and works with you to reach the development milestones. In a 7 year relationship I don't have a single negative comment and neither do my kids.

Nikki looked after our daughter for 2 days whilst we were on holiday in the area. She was fantastic and I would highly recommend her as a caring and competent childminder. My daughter is 7 months old and Nikki made her feel secure and loved in a totally new environment. She gave us a detailed review of the day including her sleeping & eating. She immediately provided our daughter with toys appropriate to her age and made her feel part of the family. Nikki is very professional in her approach and we would not hesitate to recommend her and use her again. Many thanks Nikki! We hope to return!
