Nina was recommended to us when our daughter was 9 months old. As a first time Mum and not from this area, i was panicking about going back to work.

As soon as I met Nina we just clicked. Nina is warm and friendly and the kids all love her. My daughter settled there very quickly and she wasn't the sort of baby to be handed around and cuddled all the time. It proved to me that the warmth and ease that you feel with her, the children do too. Nina follows our routines and discipline but our daughter is so well behaved for Nina anyway!!

Ninas home is lovely with lots of space. The garden is superb and we used to love going to get our daughter and hear them all having great time. There is plenth of activity and stimulation. We love reading our daughters book every evening and seeing what they had all got up to. There is plenty or variety. Playgroups, trips to the park, garden picnics sticking etc when it is raining.

Nina is always fantastic to talk to with her wealth of knowledge of being a Mum and doing this job for so long. I always ask Nina's advice about something new our daughter may be doing. Our daughter has thrived there. She too, often asks if she is going to Nina's at the weekend!

Nina is also flexible and when I have been stuck on the motorway it is never a problem. I just don't think you would get that from a nursery environment. I never worry when our daughther is with Nina as I know she is in the best hands. Safe, secure and loving.

We are soon moving 50 miles away and I aven't been stressed about the move at all. The one thing I am stressing about is finding another 'Nina'!

I may have to accept that it might not happen! She is one of a kind, i am sure.

I too agree with above reviews. If you are lucky to get a place with Nina, you will be able to relax back into work without stressing about your child. They will love her!
