Where do i even start? Cannot recommend Amanda enough!
she has cared for my son since he was 1.5 until school age. He's such a happy boy and i think a lot of it it's because of what Amanda teaches them.
She makes them feel like they are part of the family. Activities are great, good variety of meals.
She's fantastic! thank you so much!

Amanda looked after my son for several years from newborn to starting school. She is absolutely fabulous, flexible when she needs to be and always willing to help. The children are always having fun, going out for trips and walks. Amanda treated my son and the other children like her own children which is just what you need when you are leaving them all day. In four years I never had a worry about my son, I knew he would be happy, fed and loved !! Would absolutely recommend ! 5 star child minding ⭐️

Amanda has cared for my child from the age of 6 months old until school age.
I couldn't have asked for better care or communication. Amanda's relationship with my daughter was fabulous. Her amazing personal qualities made me 100% happy with Amanda's care of my daughter for the past 4 years. This includes amazing home cooked nutritional meals each day, a range of varied educational and fun activities and excursions to play groups and parks.
She has enabled my daughter to develop into a happy, confident, kind and considerate little girl.

My little girl has been with Amanda since she was 9 months old. Amanda has been amazing from the very 1st day. I was torn between a childminder and nursery at first but can honestly say having Amanda in my little girls life is one of the best decisions I ever made. Amanda takes the time everyday to produce home cooked nutritious meals and takes her on outings every week to the local baby and toddlers groups so she gets to experience bonding with other children.
Amanda plays a massive part in my little girls life and development. Her personality speaks volumes, her speech is coming on leaps and bounds and her attitude to life is amazing. Nothing is ever too much trouble and as a parent I love to see my little girl so settled and happy in a routine. It makes my life so much easier knowing shes in the best care possible whilst I'm at work.
She is now 2 and a half years old and I am dreading the day we have to part ways and say our goodbyes when she goes to school. Thankfully I have a few more years to worry obout that!
If you are looking for a loving home for your child to be cared for then look no further. Amanda is the childminder for you.
