I was first introduced to Nic by a work colleague.  Prior to our little girl starting myself and my husband went to visit in her setting.  Straight away she shared her beliefs about the setting she would provide and I was then 100% certain that Nic was the childminder for us.
Our little one started to attend the setting on a part time basis just before her first birthday and she settled in really well. It truly felt like our little one was a part of their family, building fantastic relationships with Steve, Jade and Roxi as well as Nic!
Nic was continually developing her knowledge and understanding through a wide range of professional development courses. The communication was ALWAYS  to the highest level, whether that be through our little ones communication book, phone call, texts or day-to-day conversations.  She was also a valuable source of information regarding children's development and it was clear that she had a clear understanding of the birth to 5 developmental stages and completed regular assessments to our little one and she also shared this information regularly.
Nic provided our little one with a wide range of experiences including play groups,  soft play and she also worked closely with another local childminder which supported our little social  skills even further.
I have already recommended Nic to a few different people who have been lucky enough to get a place in the setting. I shall continue to recommend Nic as I strongly believe that she develops a true love and affection for the children in her care as well as providing a safe and secure environment for the children to learn and develop. 
Thank you for everything Nic!!
