Childminder And Nanny Available
About Me
Childminding spaces available: Monday and Thursdays
My name is Amanda, and I’m an Ofsted-registered childminder working two days a week ( Monday and Thursday), alongside my role as a nanny. I have over 25 years of experience caring for children across a range of settings, including schools, preschools, forest schools, and nurseries. Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to build lasting working relationship with some lovely families.
I’m married with two grown-up sons, and we also have a lovely little dog called Daisy, who brings lots of joy to our home. I live in St George, and my childminding setting is based in Hanham, Bristol.
I’m a kind, caring, and creative person who truly loves working with children of all ages. Creating a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and encouraged is at the heart of everything I do. I place great importance on supporting each child’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being, helping them to feel confident and secure as they grow.
I enjoy storytelling, playing games, getting creative with arts and crafts, and spending plenty of time outdoors exploring nature. I love following children’s interests, sharing in their excitement, and supporting their learning through play and discovery.
I understand how important it is for parents to feel completely at ease when leaving their children in someone else’s care. I aim to provide a welcoming, responsive, and secure environment, so you can feel confident that your child is not only safe, but also cared for with genuine warmth.
My Experience
I have many years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve worked in a variety of roles, from nurseries, forest pre-schools, a previous childminder and nannying. I’m confident caring for multiple children at once, always making sure each child feels seen, valued, and cared for.
Above all, raising my two sons has been my proudest and most rewarding experience. It’s given me a deep understanding of the love, patience, and encouragement every child needs to grow, and I bring that same warmth and dedication to every child in my care.

Mandy has been caring for our 1 year old daughter for several months now and we can't recommend her highly enough. She is lovely with our child, and makes a massive effort to provide high quality care for her. She is also lovely to spend time with and helpful around the house. She provided us with all the necessary paperwork before starting and some brilliant recommendations.

Having never used a childminder before, we were both apprehensive and realised the importance of making the right decision for our child.
Mandy is friendly , personable and professional. Our daughter loves spending two days a week with her and is always happy to go there. She does lots of different activities and attends playgroups.
I would recommend Mandy to anyone as we think she's fantastic with our child.
