My Summary
About Me
My name is Nicola Booker, I am a married mother with a child of 20 years old (currently at University in America) and live in Carlton Colville, Lowestoft. I provide a happy, calm and caring environment for your child. I will give praise and encourage your child in his learning development. I provide a homelike environment, giving your child all the experiences of indoor and outdoor play opportunities as well giving lots of opportunities to socialise with other children, to build relationships and develop social skills. I provide a safe, stimulating setting with fun activities appropriate to each child’s age/stage of development. We live in a large house with a dedicated area fully stocked with various toys and equipment. I have also helped to run a mother and todder group. I am a non smoker and I have my own transport with a clean driving licence.
Children in my care benefit from a wide range of activities and regular outings each week including nature walks, messy play, parks, library, to name a few.
Hours can be flexible. And we have a very friendly cat.

Nicola has looked after my little boy for one and a half days a week since just before his first birthday. He is now three. She is kind and caring and has really encouraged him to be independent and to develop his skills in all areas set out in EYFS. The children visit toddler groups and have structured play at her house which is well equipped both inside and out. She keeps us informed of our child's day with a diary and she sends home regular newsletters. She recently and quite rightly received an outstanding from OFSTED and our little boy loves her!
