Nicky cared for my daughter for over two years, in this time she showed nothing but total commitment in her position as a childminder. Her meals were fantastic!! Healthy and very nutritious. She encouraged her with her social skills immensely,by intergrating her into local playgroups,song times and ball parks. Her home is very welcoming with a warm and friendly astmosphere as soon as you walk through the door. She makes all children feel at ease and has a massive amount of indoor and outdoor toys, when that is Nicky is not taking them on some kind of outing. She made a massive impact on our daughters life and im confident in saying that she gave here a great start in her life with the time she shared with her, I was very sad to have to leave Nicky,but due to my husbands job we had to move area. I would not hesitate in recommending Nicky to care for any child of any age,she has a natural way with all of them.
