I could not recommend Amanda and Lucy more highly. I was really nervous about putting my daughter in childcare but I was so happy I did. She came on leaps and bounds under Amanda and Lucy’s care and she was part of the family.
Her development was tracked at every stage and communication was fantastic. She had many special days there and still talks about those special moments now, 8 months since she has left.
Both Amanda & Lucy are extremely approachable and have high levels of communication . I wouldn’t trust my children to anyone else and I am currently waiting for a spot to open for my son as the other childminders I have see don’t compare!

Amanda took care of my little son, Chester while I was at work. She kept record of every activity for the day and also very neat. I would recommend her any day, any time.

my son has been going to Amanda since he was 4 months old and is now turning 3 years old in October and she goes above and beyond for every single one of her children she cares for! i would definitely recommend her to anyone and can't thank her enough for everything she does for my boy! so genuine and so easy to talk to, i would never switch childcare providers!

Amanda and Lucy looked after my twin granddaughters for 18 months. There family were like a second family to our girls and they were always so excited to go. During an isolation period they sent videos of them reading bedtime stories home that made our girls so happy to hear. The girls are now confident and ready for preschool thanks to their hardwork, love and care x

Amanda and her daughter Lucy looked after my little girl for a few years before she started school. They were absolutely amazing with her and brought her on in her development so quickly after her starting there. I have four children and of all the nurseries and childminders I have used over the years , Amanda and Lucy were the best by far , I only wish I had found them sooner and look forward to my new baby joining when she’s a little older.
They really do treat all the children that attend like family members , not just while they attend but even after they’ve left.
They have such a warm welcoming home and my little girl still talks fondly of them now.
They went above and beyond for me and my child and I would never use anybody else.
They’re simply amazing.
