My name is Nicola, I have a daughter called Sophie aged Four. I live in Colchester off Maldon Road. I have currently become registered as a childminder and have spaces to fill. I can do school drop-off's and pick ups from Prettygate school and Hamilton school and hold an after school club.

I love looking after my daughter and being a stay at home mum which is why I have become a childminder! Children need fun filled days and lots of attention. I am a happy friendly outgoing person and enjoy looking after children. My daughter loves playing with other children too.

I live in a family home with a garden and a wide range toys, activities, arts and crafts to make the day fun! I go to a mother and toddler groups, activities at the library and the Firstsite art centre as well as regular trips to the zoo as I have gold card. I have a local park and also have a vegetable patch in our garden, which my daughter loves to grow many vegetables in the garden so this is a good activity for the children.
