Nicola and Stephen have provided exceptional care for my 6 month old daughter. I suffer with anxiety which only increased when I found out I was pregnant. Nothing has put me more at ease than knowing my girl is with these remarkable people.
We arrive and my daughter beams as she adores being at their lovely, welcoming home. She gets to be around other children which has brought her on developmentally. Spending time with various toys and games, inside and outside in their garden. They are caring, attentive and engaging with her as well she gets to go to many places (soft play, baby and toddler groups, libraries, parks etc.) which I never would have been able to take her to.
Their own children are also great with my daughter, I can often hear laughter when I pick her up. An enthusiastic and reliable couple who I will never be able to thank enough. I can highly recommend Nicola and Stephen to anyone, going to work and knowing your child is in capable safe hands is priceless.
