My Summary
About Me
Hi there! I'm Amber, I am 23 years old and have been childminding with my parents for 4 years and babysitting for 8 years. My parents (Sally and Colin) have been childminding for 18 years and are OFSTED rated outstanding. I have recently had my OFSTED inspection and was rated good please feel free to read through my inspection report. I have up to date DBS, safeguarding and paediatric first aid certification. Our childminding setting is based at our house in Beckenham, we live next to a beautiful allotment that the children love, we are so lucky to have such and abundance of wildlife and nature on our doorstep, it also means we are able to grow fruit and vegetables that the children can pick and eat. We have a large playroom (cabin) in our garden where the children play in the winter, this is equipped with double glazing and heating. In the summer we spend most of the time in the garden with paddling pools and water play. Lunch is cooked by my dad (colin) the children especially love his organic homemade red pasta sauce, which we eat in the dining room. We do Yoga and dancing in the cabin and art and crafts activities are done in the house by either myself or my mum (Sally). Currently we do not have any vaccancies but things are always changing so do please get in touch if our setting interests you! I am available for babysitting most evenings in the week and at weekends.

We've had our son and daughter with Sally, Amber and Colin for several years. It's been a really positive experience for our children and us. We've all enjoyed a genuine and personable relationship. It's been (and is) more like an extended family than anything else.
The setting is lovely, with a playhouse at the back of the garden and an allotment nearby. There are always fun activities on the go including lots of arts and crafts (Sally and Amber are rather passionate about it).
We feel really lucky to have found Sally back then. There are enough children to make it a suitable social environment for everyone but not too many for it to become impersonal.
Sally has always been very helpful and accommodating when things go left-field (we've been 'blessed' with a fair amount of that over the years, as most young parents are).
We happily and highly recommend Amber and gang to anyone who is looking for a wholesome setting for their children.
Thanks for the wonderful experiences you've helped provide to our children, Sally, Amber and Colin.
Greetings from P & L, F & L

Amber is a brilliant and fun childminder! She looked after our son and I felt so confident and safe leaving him in her care! She works hard to understand child development and came up with positive ways to support their development- thanks so much Amber for looking after our little boy so well! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, engaging and homely environment for their little ones!

Amber has been a regular babysitter for us over the past 5+ years. She has done full days, pick ups and evenings for us, including when our youngest was a few months old. Our kids love her. She is engaging and playful with kids, and has a no-nonsense attitude which makes everything go smoothly. You and your family are in great hands with Amber!

Our little boy stayed with Amber, Sally and Colin from age 2 to nearly 4 when he started preschool, and we were delighted to have found them. They had a lovely setting, with a great playroom, full of varied toys for free-play. They live alongside the allotments and regularly go on little adventures there, to pick fruits, visit the chickens, have little races and throw sticks in the river. They also do crafts in the house as well as reading stories, singing songs, dancing, learning numbers and plenty of garden play. Amber and family took great care of our little boy and he really grew in confidence during the time they looked after him. Amber also babysits for us occasionally, and our son loves this. Highly recommended!

Amber has been looking after our daughter in a child minding and baby sitting capacity for over a year now, and she’s been GREAT!
Amber’s engaged, reliable and wam approach allowed us to quickly settle our daughter into a weekly routine where she was always excited about being with Amber and would always come back with stories about the fun things they had done together.
To this day, we haven’t seen any tears or tantrums at drop off and pick-up, which has been the best indicator to help us know, she is in good hands.
Amber has been responsive and flexible, when we have needed her to be and we’ve been regularly updated on our daughters activities and day whilst in Amber’s care.
My wife and I would be very confident in recommending Amber to other parents looking good for childcare services.
