Nicci has been looking after my 2 boys aged 5 and 9 since June 2012.

Up until this point they had only been looked after by family members, so it was important for me to find somebody they would be comfortable with. As soon as I met Nicci at her home and subsequently introduced the boys to her, I knew they were in good hands.

Nicci provides a safe and caring environment. My boys took to her immediately and really enjoy going to her. She provides numerous activities to keep them entertained and regularly takes the children she looks after to the nearby park and to walk the puppy. Nicci also provides them with a cooked tea, which is extremely helpful for me.

I am shortly being made redundant, so have given Nicci notice. However, I will not hesitate to contact her when I have found another job.
