My daughter attended Nicci’s childcare setting 4 days a week for 1 year, from the age of 1 to 2 years old.

All I can say is, Nicci is an outstanding childminder! From our very first meeting, I was instantly at ease and trusted Nicci right away. Nicci has created a gorgeous setting for her minded children that allows children to explore, learn and have fun. She’s a consummate professional, from continuing her own learning (eg keeping up to date with the latest EYFS requirements) to planning activities (different all the time!) and updating parents daily with a personalised written summary of the child’s day. On top of all that, she truly cares about the children and provides such a lovely and personal home-from-home environment. My daughter thrived when in Nicci’s care.

Due to a change in our circumstances, our daughter could no longer attend Nicci’s and it was a really difficult adjustment for all of us (especially me!).

I can’t thank Nicci enough for all she did. I genuinely feel I’ll never find anyone like her again!!
