My daughter has been with amanda and Paul for 5 years, in that time Skye has grew a lovely bond with both Amanda and Paul. Skye has thrived being surrounded by kids of all difference ages. Skye looks forward to her time with Amanda & Paul and all the other kids. I much preferred Amanda and Paul to a nursery setting as it’s more 1-1 time spent with the kids as it’s a smaller group. Amanda has even given me guidance and support if/when needed. She really does love her job and each child that walks through her door.

Amanda is absolutely amazing, she has been involved with our family for quite a while now and there's been zero complaints at all. She is brilliant with our girls and nothing is too much trouble. The girls absolutely love her and they always come home having had a fab time and always happy. Couldn't recommend Amanda and Paul enough. She isn't just our kids childminder she's became our friend and has helped us on so many different occasions. Thank you!! xx

Absoloutely brilliant , my little boy loves to go to Amanda's as they're so good with him. My little boy settled in straight away as he felt really comfortable and safe too.He can't wait to get there in the mornings and pushes me out the door once i drop him off and he also always comes home and tells me how much fun he's had. The garden is a great size for the kiddies and very safe also got the high fences for little climbers so they can't go anywhere. There's loads of activities for them in the garden where the kids love to play so many different things for them to do. Honestly couldn't ask for anything else it's absoloutely fantastic. !!
