Our son Lucas went to Vicky's from age 2-3.5years and loved every minute. Vicky was brilliant at making Lucas feel safe, secure and happy. Vicky's setting is very clean & perfect for little ones and older/toddler children, with engaging fun & educational toys, and a lovely garden with outdoor play too. Also having access to brilliant open spaces and parks & the city farm nearby meant Lucas always had active days and spent time in nature. Vicky was really helpful around potty training, and was great at making delicious food that Lucas loved. Vicky was also great at sharing messages and photos of what Lucas had been up to in her care, and understood how this is reassuring for a parent. Overall, Vicky made our son happy, she is great at playing and doing creative play too like baking and painting - often in relation to the seasons and cultural events such as Easter and Christmas which is lovely. Vicky was a perfect childminder for the nurturing transition from being a toddler to starting nursery, and we couldn't have done without her!
