We have been lucky enough to have Vicki as our childminder for over 8 years now.
My youngest, who’s 9 has been with Vicki since he was 9 months old and feels very much part of her family.
She has looked after my children pre-school, after school and also in the school holidays.
They really enjoy their time at Vicki’s, trips out to country parks, picnics, many craft activities (always love the home made Christmas gifts!) and many after school evenings spent playing in the garden.
Always been flexible, supportive and understanding, not just to the kids but to us as parents too.
Couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

Vicky is a lovely genuine caring person. We've used her services since 2017 and our son adores her. Meals are varied and activities are always in great supply! Our son always sleeps straight through the night after being with Vicky :)
We are so glad we found her. Their dog is lovely and trained, and a nice addition to general development for children.
Would 100% recommend!

Vicki is a great childminder. She is taking care of my little one since June 2018 and he loves her and is very happy going to her every day. He developed a lot doing different activities there and also he enjoys going at farms or different parks with Vicki and the other kids.

I hated the thought of sending my child into another persons home to be looked after - but when my hours at work increased I had to look into it.
I came across Vicki on childcare.co.uk - and seen that she did drop off/pick up from my daughters school so decided to give her a message. 5 years later she still has my daughter - and now has my son too!
I literally could not ask for a better person to watch my children when I can’t. Not only does she educate them and do fun activities - she truly l does care about them like a second mother!
Sending my children to Vicki was the best decision I ever made for them, and should I ever move - i’d commute to drop them there :)

Vicki has looked after our son and our daughter since they were 6 months old and they are now 7 and 4.
During that time Vicki has given us peace of mind and our children a wealth of experiences. We trust her without question to look after our children and also to stimulate them. Communicating well with us throughout.
She is always exploring activities with them, playing or taking them to so many places across Northamptonshire.
As well as looking after them when they were really little, We have had pick ups from school and nursery as well as holiday care all has been excellent.
Most importantly our children love going to Vicki’s and being with Vicki we could not cope without her.
