Vikki's Reviews

A home away from home!

Our little boy Rory started at Vikki's Little Vikings in September when he was 18 months old. My good friends little boy also attends, which is how we knew all about it as it was so highly recommended!
Rory was a little unsure about being away from me at first but Vikki and the team came up with a brilliant settling in plan that worked perfectly! He absolutely loves going and has so much fun. He is so well looked after and Vikki and her team are just so loving and caring and everything is run like clockwork.

I love that he is looked after in such a homely setting. With gorgeous home cooked meals every day, he eats like a king!

I can't recommend Vikkis little Vikings enough and we are just so happy with our choice to send Rory here!

Brilliant childminder

My little boy started with Vikki in April 24 and I have had such a positive experience, I would definitely recommend vikkis little Vikings to anyone.

My little boy started just after his first birthday and had never been left with anyone else, which meant he took a while to get used to others caring for him and to settle in, he was initially really upset every time he was dropped off (which would have been the case wherever he went). Vikki could not have managed this better and was happy to extend his settling in sessions. I felt everything was done within my son's timeframe and communication around this was brilliant. I feel they all put in so much effort to reassure him (and me!).

My little boy is now so happy to go in and really excited to get in and play, waving me off most mornings. Since he has started he has made massive progress and I think being around the older children has really bought him on. There are really good daily updates around what he has eaten, when he has napped and I know if there is anything I need to know, I can just message Vikki who always replies quickly.

I am so pleased I chose Vikkis little Vikings and feel reassured my son is in good hands!

Perfect childminder

I am so happy to send my little girl to Vikki’s. She settled in straight away and is desperate to get in and get playing as soon as we reach her front door. The days are varied with lots of different activities, circle time, toy rotations, singing, dancing, crafts and outside time which my little girl adores. Vikki provides beautiful home made meals and snacks (which tend to be healthy fruit/ berries etc) which my girl always eats. There is a really positive culture around food and eating variety.

The team are so caring, she is always happy to see them and she talks about them when we are at home. They are so caring about her and go absolutely above and beyond. My little girl clearly feels able to be her true self with them and they have really got to know her. She loves the mixed age range of the group and you can see her experience with babies (even at 18 months old!) and she shows no signs of being intimidated by much older children either.

Vikki’s has made going back to work a thousand times easier. I had such mum guilt but since seeing how much my child wants to go to Vikki’s and how great it is for her language and social development skills, this guilt has completely evaporated. I am so grateful to Vikki.
