Outstanding

We are so grateful to have found Nina. Both of my children adore her.
At first they would cry on arrival and in no time Nina had settled them. Now every time I drop them off they look forward to seeing Nina!
She provides a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment where my children thrive.
Nina is patient, kind, and incredibly attentive to our children’s needs. We're always impressed by the creative activities she plans - from arts and crafts to outdoor adventures. I love how I get regular pictures to show me what they have been up too. We have complete peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable hands. Highly recommend!

Exceptional - both my girls came here

Avani, from October 23, 2023, to July 19, 2024. Throughout this period, Nina demonstrated a remarkable commitment to Avani's growth, well-being, and overall development.

Nina’s childcare services were nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, she created a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where Avani could feel secure and supported. Under Nina's care, Avani made significant strides in her social and emotional development. Nina encouraged Avani to interact with others, building her social skills and helping her navigate her emotions with patience and understanding. As a result, Avani became more confident in expressing herself and developed a strong sense of independence in both her daily activities and decision-making.

Nina’s approach to childcare is both thoughtful and proactive. She has an intuitive understanding of children's needs and is able to tailor her care to support each child’s unique personality and growth trajectory. Avani’s confidence grew as Nina consistently provided opportunities for her to try new activities, problem-solve, and build self-esteem in a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere. Nina also placed a strong emphasis on Avani’s physical and emotional well-being, ensuring that her health and comfort were always a priority.

I was consistently impressed by Nina’s reliability, professionalism, and genuine passion for working with children. She was always punctual, organized, and communicated openly with me about Avani’s progress, activities, and any concerns. Nina’s ability to engage and care for Avani in a way that fostered her development while ensuring she felt loved and valued is something I truly appreciate.

I have no hesitation in recommending Nina for any future childcare position. Her dedication to the well-being and development of children, as well as her nurturing and supportive nature, makes her an exceptional caregiver for both my daughters.

Outstanding, home from home care

Nina has loved our little boy since he was 1 (he’s now 2.5). I say loved, rather than looked after, as he calls her Aunty Nini. Her whole family treat him as their own, and he adores them.

As well as a home from home environment, his language and communication skills are outstanding, which is in large part due to Nina’s support and encouragement, from flash cards, to toddler groups and trips out.

We’re expecting another baby this year and we’ve already asked Nina to look after her too.
Nina is truly outstanding, and we would highly recommend her.

Looks after my son as if he was her own

Nina has looked after my son since he was 1-year-old and takes such care and attention in his well-being, it is as if I’m leaving him with family. The house is always spotless and my son had only ever come home with smiles on his face. Nina goes above and being in her duty of care and I can not recommend her more highly.

Nina and her family are our extended family

Nina has been my childminder for my 2 boys for over 7 years. Nina is very caring and kind.

The boys have loved being with Nina and its like "home from home". Nina has seen my boys grow up and the boys and I see Nina and her family as an extension to or family.

My oldest son now doesn't need a childminder but still goes round to see the family as he grew up with them.

Home from home 🥰

As a first time mother the prospect of returning to work after a year out was daunting enough without the worry of finding somebody that I could trust enough to look after my blue eyed boy.

From the first moment I stepped into Nina’s home until now (nearly 3 years on) I know without a doubt that we couldn’t have asked for more from our son’s childminder.

Finley adores Nina and her family, he has learned so much in such a short time and continues to bloom in her care. This is why he will continue his wrap round care with Nina when he starts nursery full time in January.

Excellent, reliable & welcoming !

Nina made return to work after maternity leave so much easier, I am no longer racked with stress and anxiety. Nina looked after my the 7 month old full time and my 4 year old before and after school care. Nina provided safe, welcoming and engaging environment- my girls thoroughly enjoyed there time with Nina. Nina provided a wide range of activities and made good use of the local parks - the girls would come home happy and formed lasting relationships. Nina provided regular feedback, communicated effectively and the girls thrived with her for 6 years.

Like a second home!

Nina has looked after my girls for 7.5 years and is wonderful. She is great for pick ups and drop offs to school and they do crafts and activities after school.
Definitely recommend

Fabulous childminder

My girls love going to see Nina, they are always happy to be dropped off, and love telling me about what they have been up to all day. My youngest daughter is very active and into everything, where as my eldest is much calmer and can be shy. Nina caters for both their needs in a caring way, she also is great for helping them learn with singing, flash cards and role playing. I would definitely recommend her.
