Nicola and Andrew have been caring for our little boy, who is now nearly 3 years old, for the past 2 years. He asks if he can visit almost every morning (including weekends!), and as a working mum, I have to say that it is such a comfort to know that he is happy while I am away.

This is in no small part to the time and energy that goes into making sure that the children feel at home, and that they receive plenty of individual attention. There is also home-cooked food, plenty of fun activities, a variety of outings, as well as plenty of time to play in the fantastic playroom and enclosed garden.

It isn't just the children who are well looked after - the parents are as well. As a previous reviewer has already mentioned, Nicola and Andrew send photos frequently and write in a diary every day. Catching up on my son's day is one of the highlights of mine. The flexibility that they offer is great too, with nothing ever seeming to be too much trouble.

So if you were to ask if I would recommend Nicola and Andrew... my answer is most definitely "yes".
