My Availability
My availability has changed due to running a very much needed before and after school club from my local school and nursery at william Martin.
This has been very popular for wrap around childcare for ages 3-11.
This starts at 7.30am - 8.30/8.50
Begins again at 3.10/3.30 - 5.30
The times differ as the nursery hours are 8.30 - 3.30.
On a Tuesday , Wednesday and Thursday I collect children locally from 9.30 - 1.30 this is popular with those getting the 2 or 3 year funding and who may just need a few hours a week to work from home or to give grandparents a break that may help out with childcare .
We go to the local groups and I drop the children back home .

I currently employ Amanda as a child minder and would have no hesitation in recommending her.
My child loves going to her and Amanda is adaptable to your situation.
I have witnessed Amanda involving the children in arts and craft projects, and keeping them entertained with worthwhile activities.

Amanda was very helpfull when it come to looking after my two children as I only needed a temporary contract to for weeks while I was on jury service she was very flexible with days and times even picking up and dropping the children off if she could was great, My babies loved her and enjoyed there time with Amanda.. She was very loving with them right from the start which is always nice to see.
I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for childcare I would have kept my children with her if I needed to and would always go back to Amanda if I needed permanent childcare. Xx
