Aww thanks alot for such kind words
Happy she is settling in well🥳😊
We've been with Amber for a month and a half now, and it has been a good experience! She is friendly, caring, and always quick to respond, which gives us real peace of mind. My child loves going to her, has settled in well, and is making lovely friends. I also really appreciate the pictures and videos she sends—they make my day and reassure me that my little one is happy and well cared for.

Thank-you so much for the lovely feedback I’m happy he is settling in well
Amber
My twins have been with Amber for over a year now, since they were 6 months old. They have always been well looked after. We’ve received consistent and child centred care from Amber through out. My twins are happy to spend time with her and they come home happy. I receive regular updates and pictures of them, which is great support for a Mummy missing her babies. She’s flexible and provides care in line with what the parents need for their child. My 6 year old who has been with Amber during holidays and school pickups, also enjoys his time in her care.

Amber was able to accommodate our needs at short notice. This was the first time we left our son with anyone other than family. She has a playroom which our son liked alot and she asked us what TV programmes he likes. Amber sent us photos throughout the day so we could see how he was getting on. I didn't smell any smoke or see any pets and our son was happy when we collected him. Highly recommended

Thankyou for your kind words its a pleasure to work with babies
Amber is an amazing person. Our 6 year old boy is autistic and felt right at ease with her straight away. In the space of just one week we have seen so much improvement in his behaviour and how he expresses himself. We can’t thank her enough as he is really blossoming under her care. He also loves when it’s time time to go to Amber as she sets up a lot of games, colouring and learning materials suited specifically for him. We are really blessed to have someone like Amber and couldn’t rate her highly enough.

Thank you so much, Sam, for your kind words. It has been an absolute joy working with your son and seeing him thrive. I'm glad to hear that he's comfortable and enjoys our activities; it’s important to me that every child feels at ease and engaged.

I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful childminder for our little one. Amber is always smiling even after a tough day. My LO is always happy to see her and comes home happy and content every day. It's clear that my LO is thriving under her care. We appreciate the open communication, the personalised attention, and the genuine interest she’s shown in my baby’s well-being. Thank you for being such an amazing childminder.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. I'm thrilled to hear that your little one is thriving and happy in my care. Seeing those smiles and knowing your child feels content and secure is the best part of my day. Your kind words about my dedication and communication mean a lot to me. It's truly a pleasure to care for your child, and I'm grateful for the trust you've placed in me. Thank you for your support!
It’s been so helpful to know my daughter is well looked after when returning to work. Amber is very patient and her care is really flexible to the children’s needs that day, which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much.

Aww thank you so much
Amber is very experienced and knowledgeable about her work. She can look after all age groups of children. We had difficulties feeding medicine to our daughter at home but she made it so easy while our daughter was with her. She has a great selection of toys including educational toys. I am so pleased with the level of care you provide. It makes being a working parents a lot easier, knowing your child is in the best environment. I would recommend your services to anyone.
