Term time, school holidays and wrap around care. Currently do school runs to Burrsville Infants, Great Clacton Juniors and Holland Park school.

This lovely lady gives nurturing another meaning, the experience she has given my boys is something only I could have dreamt of as a child. From muddy boots to world book day at the library, Mandy covers everything .. everywhere! Adventure is always on the cards, the children are always excited to go, and never eager to leave. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to leave my children whilst I go to work. Mandy has given me complete peace of mind, whilst offering the boys educational experiences in a home from home environment. Can't thank her enough, she's basically family now!

Mandy has been looking after my 2 boys since they were just over 1 years old and they are now 8 and 4 , mandy has become part of the family and my little one is so excited on the days he goes to mandys . A typical day at mandys is never dull and they do a number activities and go to various places throughout the week . Mandy has helped my little ones confidence grow and he is now such a kind a caring little boy. We were truly miss seeing mandy every week when my little one starts school in September.

Thank you so much - it’s been wonderful looking after your boys and having great adventures with them! I know you dont believe me when i say this but they really are good boys!! Anyway I’m not going to feel sad because i know I'm getting them back for the holidays so its all good 😊 xx
Where do you start?!
From day 1 mandy has been incredible, she's not just a childminder but someone that has become part of the family after the last 3 years.
Our boy's have had the BEST time with Mandy and had experiences that we wouldn't of been able to do without her!
They've built friendships for life,mandy has been open with any issues and we've all worked through them together.
I would recommend a childminder over a nursery to anyone, even more so Mandy!
Thank you for everything you've done for us over the years 🥰

Feel emotional reading this - it’s like the end of an era. Thank you for the lovely review and please know I’ve loved looking after your two boys - such brilliant characters, going to miss Charlie so much - he makes me laugh every day ❤️
My son had been with mandy this last year, since he was a year old. She is incredible and goes above and beyond to help us with our needs, she's lovely, down to earth and does so much with the children. She's always out and about at clubs and groups and makes the most of the outdoors. My son has an amazing bond with her and I feel so confident when leaving him with her. Her garden is huge and she has a wonderful play room with lots of activities. We love mandy and hope to stay with her for a long time

Oh wow, thank you for such a wonderful review! I always feel appreciated by you but it’s lovely to read this. I too hope your amazing little man is with me for a long time to come - we have many more adventures planned! Xx
My daughter went to Mandy after my first childminder gave up. We visited Mandy once, and decided almost there and then she was the right fit for our family. Our daughter was 3 when she started and settled in so well and Mandy made everything so simple. Our little one goes Monday to friday all day and she loves it. All our needs have been met without any hesitation and Mandy's communication with us is brilliant. Would highly recommend Mandy to anyone looking for a childminder.

Thank you so much! It’s been a total pleasure to have your little lady. She makes me laugh every day with her unique way of looking at things! Going to miss having her all day after September but I’m looking forward to hearing about all the new and exciting things she will be doing at school xx
