Nicole has been looking after my 21 month daughter since she was 5 months. Her kind, caring and compassionate manner are just a few of the reasons my daughter absolutely adores her, and loves the time she spends with Nicole. She has always been extremely flexible, which has been particularly important to us, given the varied working hours for myself and my husband, and will readily work around us and accomodate our last minute changes.

Nicole regularly takes my daughter to a variety of fun filled different activities, including local toddler play sessions, parks, walks in the countryside and spending time with animals. In addition to external activities, they also spend time at home playing, looking at books and general arts and crafts, all of which my daughter loves and are further reasons for their close bond.

In addition, Nicole is also a fabulous cook and regularly makes batches of food for our freezer. She has cooked some delicious meals for my daughter and always makes an effort to create age appropriate food, modifying taste and texture accordingly.

At times Nicole has also helped look after my 4 year old daughter when a situation has arisen, and just like her sister, also loves spending time with Nicole (and her lovely son!). We also regularly use Nicole to babysit in the evenings, as we have complete confidence Nicole can deal with any situation that may arise.

I wouldn't hestitate to recommend Nicole and her childcare services, she's been an invaluable extension to our family and I couldn't imagine our life without her!
