My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Nikola,
I have got over 10 years experience working with children as well as having two children of my own. .
I have converted a room within my home in order to offer a safe and stimulating environment for any child attending my setting. I love messy play and our daily plans will always include this, as well as outdoor play every day and activities to keep the children engaged. Trips out are a fantastic opportunity to heighten and develop a child's development so are included as often as possible.
I have an assistant who works with me full time 4 days who is also level 3 qualified in childcare, DBS checked, first aid trained and level 2 safeguarding trained.
Please feel free to call to discuss further.
Or you can always email me.

I cannot give Bambino’s enough praise my 3 year old has been going since he was 7 months old & loves going- he’s always been well cared for weekly trips out & I cannot reccomend Nikola & Lisa anymore they are so good. My little boys now doing his pre school work with them so even though it’s a home setting he’s forever learning & makes me feel at ease having to leave him to work. Thank you both so much :)
