My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder, living in Paddock Wood with grown up daughter. We have a cockapoo named Bailey who we love to take on walks to nearby parks, woods and sometimes further afield.
I live in central Paddock Wood so close to several parks, woods, community centre, library and shops. I hold a current driving license so take children in a little further sometimes.
As well as home based activities such as crafts, cooking, free play, messy play, music and movement, we attend local toddler and childminding groups. We sometimes make our way to forest school too.
My Experience
I studied childcare at college, where I had experience in a nursery, school, SEND nursery and home environment. I have been childminding since 2016, most children have started from babies and have stayed with me through primary school.
I regularly update myself with training and follow the EYFS.

Amanda has looked after my son for 4-5 years and she cannot be faulted. Superb reliability, excellent care conditions and one of the few people outside of family and friends that I completely trust with my little one (though less little these days!). It has been our privilege to have her help us during this time and we welcome any enquiries asking for verification of this review. It cannot be understated enough how we 100% recommend Amanda, you would never regret it or look back. Thank you Amanda and hope you see this!
