Amanda has been such an amazing interim childminder for my little boy for the last year. If I didn't already have my existing one, then she would definitely still be looking after my now 2 1/2 year old boy. During the six weeks our permanent childminder was overseas, my then 1 and a bit year old immediately felt at home and quickly settled becoming part of the family. Due to the nature of my job I needed to find someone willing to have monkey all hours and Amanda was extremely accommodating.
The variety of activities Amanda organises is just brilliant, including outdoor and indoor adventures. She also organises trips with other child minders so my little boy was able to interact with a wide group of children. Over those two months his speech, motor skills and social skills have just become better and better.
I can't recommend Amanda highly enough!! She really is amazing at her job.
One of the best childminders in Acton!!

Amanda has collected my twins from school since they started school 4 years ago. They enjoy their time with her after school, are well looked after, well fed, safe and happy. Amanda is friendly, approachable and cares extremely well for the children in her care. I would certainly recommend her.

I am glad I found her! Amanda has been looking after my three year old son since September 2018. She gives him breakfast and drops him off at nursery everyday. This is my first experience dropping my son with a childminder as he had been at nursery from 9months. He looks forward to going to her house in the mornings and I have not had any problems at all. She communicates effectively and has a warm welcome.
I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a reliable childminder
