About Me
Hi! My name is Amanda, and I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder living in Eton with my husband and our three children aged 20, 17, and 13. We also have a sweet dog called Louis.
I have been a childminder for 15 years and offer childcare for children under 5. All the children are warmly welcomed into our home and become part of our family.
I follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and passionately believe in learning through play. I encourage independence, confidence, creativity, kindness, good manners, and a love for learning.
Activities are arranged to follow the children's interests, and I work carefully with parents to settle children in and continue to meet all their needs whilst in my care.
We enjoy outings to playgroups, playgrounds, soft play, local farms, and country parks. We have a large social network around us and meet friends, and get out and about in the community.
I have a large car with appropriate car seats and hold business insurance to get us around to all of our activities.
I use an online learning journey app to communicate the children’s development and share their achievements. Parents are encouraged to share their child's experiences at home, too!
My Experience
Before having my children I trained as a Nursery Nurse. I have been a mum now for 20 years and have found it very rewarding which is why I have chosen to be a childminder and offer the same care and experiences to other children as I have done my own.
I have been childminding for 15 years now and have looked after more than 60 children in that time.
My Qualifications
I am currently graded 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, latest inspection was October 2019.
Paediatric First Aid certificate in January 2024.
NVQ level 3.
Safeguarding training in April 2021.
Food Hygiene level 2.
Continual professional development by completing many online and evening courses on child development, child behaviour, and much more.
My husband and I, along with our older children, all have enhanced CRB/DBS disclosures.

I highly recommend Amanda, she’s great and we couldn’t live without her! My daughter loves going there, Amanda takes the children to playgroups, parks, days out and meets up with other childminders so they're always busy out doing things and socialising.
Amanda follows a set routine with meal times and sleep. She cooks all the meals and offers a great variety of foods, honestly some of the things she gets my daughter to eat blows me away, especially as she can be fussy at times but since she’s been with Amanda she’s improved so much!
We recently potty trained my daughter and Amanda has assisted us with this process, it’s been so easy!
Amanda’s house is very well equipped, clean and organised, the children have a dedicated area for playing, eating and sleeping.
We really couldn’t ask for more and were very lucky to have her!
