My 2.5yr old daughter came to Nicole for 2 weeks over the summer holidays and had an amazing time. Nicole was great, she had lots of activities and toys for all ages, my daughter felt at ease with her straight away and was happy to go to her for the day. She would give me an update during the day of what they had been up to. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback Ali.
It was my pleasure to have your daughter and we had lots of fun together ☺️
My 2 children have been cared for by Nicole after our move out of London. We struggled to find spaces with a childminder and Nicole went out of her way to be flexible and meet our childcare needs.
Our children absolutely LOVE Nicole, as do I! She is caring, fun and honest! She has formed an amazing bond with them and knows them and their personalities so well. We know our children are loved while there and that’s the best feeling.
Nicole is brilliant at keeping in touch and always lets me know how the children have been and what they have done at the end of the day.
Nicole is always flexible where she can be and has had our children on some extra days when she has had spaces.
The kids are always chatting about the toys at Nicole’s and the things they have done together and she keeps a really lovely and thorough learning journey of their time with her. On top of that her own children are absolutely lovely and play so well with ours. We would definitely recommend Nicole - she’s simply fantastic!
