Nickie and Harriet are amazing team, my child was 18months when he joined them, very nervous and scared of past childminders experience, but after a weeks time he wanted to go all by him self, always happy, learning so much, enjoys. It is such a relief to see my child so happy and thriving in all his areas. Highly recommend. Thank them enough for the love and effort they have put for Mikaeel.

Nickie and her daughter Harriet provide a “home from home” experience for the children they care for. My son started with them when he was almost two, and stayed for around a year. In that time he grew to love Nickie and Harriet, and became firm friends with Harriet’s lovely little girl. I felt confident that my little boy was being loved and cared for as though he belonged to them.
Nickie was more than happy to accommodate his allergies and eating issues, which made such a difference to him and us. She really went out of her way to make sure he felt included and ate the same or similar to the other children.
Nickie has ample transport and safely takes children on lots of really fun days out. My son enjoyed trips to various soft play centres, baby gyms, playgrounds and parks.
Communication is great, and Nickie is happy to chat at the end of the session, but also writes the day’s activities and food/nappies down in a personal diary.
I couldn’t recommend anyone more, and we were all very sad when the time came to leave Nickie’s care.

Nickie looked after my daughter from the age of 9 months - 2.5 years, and right from the start my daughter was always happy to go to Nickie's to play. This makes your day so much better (as mum) to know that your child is happy and children are only happy in an environment where they feel safe and loved.
I have no doubt as to Nickie's care and affection for the children in her care, she goes above and beyond in looking after all of them.
My daughter loves Nickie and indeed the members of her family that live there, and it was a very sad day indeed when the time came for my daughter to move on to Nursery.
I would recommend Nickie as a childminder to anyone who is looking for childcare, she is so passionate about what she does and so caring. The children definitely come first and are so well looked after and entertained. My daughter built some lovely little bonds and friendships with the other children there and it is a time I will always cherish. She gave such a great start to my daughter not only in terms of 'education' but also in letting her know that leaving mummy isn't a scary thing to do - it's so much fun to go and play with others.

My 2 & half year old daughter has been with Nickie since she was 7 months old, she settled in very quickly & still loves to go to Nickie’s where she has fun, learns lots & is treated like one of the family. I sometimes think she’d rather stay there than come home with me when I go to pick her up 😊
Nickie has always been very accommodating & flexible, I feel very lucky to have her as my childminder.
My Daughter also loves Nickie’s daughter, so I’m pleased to learn they will soon be working together.

If you are looking for an excellent caring and dedicated childminder for your children then look no further. My daughter has been with Nickie since 10months old and absolutely loves going. She has learnt so much and so have i. She gives 100% dedication to the children in her care and teaches them soo much as they grow. She has treat my daughter Reya like one of her own and as a first time mum also made me feel at ease to leave her. Nickie takes them to softplay, days out, park trips etc they always doing something lovely and fun. I cannot recommend Nickie enough shes is an excellent experienced childminder. My daughter is now coming up 2 in august and still loves to go..... she doesnt even notice when i leave she has that much fun. I look forward to reading her daily dairy to see wjat my daufhter has been up to that day and it always makes me smile. I could not manage without Nickie and would recommend to anyone ☺

Nickie looked after my boy since he was 4 months old. He is now 8 years and still wants to go there in the holidays and spend time with her and her children. (which speaks for itself!!).
I could not have found a better surrogate Mum whilst I was at work knowing my son was in such brilliant care and being treated like another member of the family whilst incorporating any needs I may have had for him.
I respected Nickie's advise and experience on most of my son's different stages of development and still do!! She has become a great friend and can't thank her enough for all she has done to assist my son in being the well-rounded boy that he is today!!!

Nickie Wakeford has been my childminder for over two years and I cannot recommend her highly enough (she was recommended to me by a friend).
Nickie is an excellent childminder - my daughter loves going to her and really enjoys the time she spends there.
Nickie is very loving to my daughter, and treats her like one of the family. Nickie spends a lot of time with my daughter and the other children she looks after, taking them out to numerous activities (e.g. the park, playgroups, activity centres) and reads and plays with the children. She makes sure that appropriate and educational games are played - which are fun too of course! She writes a diary for me each week on my daughter's behaviour and ensures that my requirements are met (for example we discuss how my daughter should be treated when she is rude and naughty, and Nickie follows my approaches).
My daughter really enjoys playing with Nickie's own children and with the other children that Nickie looks after. I could not manage without Nickie, she is a brilliant childminder.
