My children are both under Nikki's care and have been since August 2018 when we moved to the area. My son was just starting in reception and my daughter 18 months old. They had both been at a day nursery in our old home town. We'd had a previous experience with a different childminder there too and hadn't been very keen to repeat this. But the experience with Nikki has been completely different and we honestly couldn't manage without her. We wouldn't never think of changing back to a nursery now. Her flexibility and kindness has helped us on many occasions and we all love her! Nikki's environment is fun and nurturing and we now think of her and her children as friends of the family.

My son is now nearly 6 and goes with his 3 year old sister to Nikki in the mornings and is then dropped off to school, and sometimes does days during the school holidays. They both love going to Nikki's house! My daughter is with Nikki all day and has learned so much with her. She has the most wonderful experiences of going to play groups, music group, Willows Farm, and also doing so many activities at Nikki's home. We get regular photo diaries of her time and she is so well settled. Because Nikki is Ofsted registered, we are able to use the Government funding and so my daughter will continue with her until she goes to school next year, and beyond hopefully! Having a childminder we can trust, who loves our children, has made us so thankful we made the decision for them to go to Nikki.
