So grateful!

Amanda, Peter and staff are amazing. They provided exactly what my Son and I needed, when we needed it. After Covid my Son was a School refuser due to anxieties about the world and leaving me, it got so bad that the School were at the point of referring us for Court proceedings. We identified where our hardest part of the day was, the mornings, and agreed that if I could just manage to get Archie up and dressed in the mornings (it became such a battle between us that my own mental health was suffering) which took a lot of effort both mentally and emotionally, then if we found someone who could provide a service to do a school drop off, it would ease things for both Archie and I. That’s where Amanda and Peter came in. They provided pick up from home service, Archie would then spend a little time at their home with breakfast as an option and then he would be walked to School. During Archie’s time with Amanda and Peter, we overcame the school refusing, avoided being taken to court and fined and have been offered support and care where needed. Archie has grown so fond of Amanda and I am so grateful that he has had Amanda to talk to when he’s needed to talk someone, I really do feel they have looked out for him and am so grateful for the support and care that we have received from them. We didn’t find Amanda and Peter until Archie was a bit older, so sadly he is now leaving as he is coming to the end at Primary school but we were lucky to find them when we did, had we found them sooner then we would certainly have chosen them for Archie’s younger years. Thank you, for the care and support to us both, we think you guys are absolutely amazing and I know Archie will miss you!

Lifesavers!

Good evening all.

I don’t know if any of you recall a post I shared back in May/June time. I posted anonymously as I was so embarrassed and ashamed of the situation we were in. I explained that the school my Son attends was moving to prosecute because of bad attendance. His attendance was bad for many reasons, his physical and mental health, my physical and mental health, circumstance etc.….

Anyhow, I wanted to say thank you for all the kind support that was offered but also for those who recommended Amanda Hubbert and her Husband Peter with their childminding services, who could possibly help with childcare in the mornings as this is our hardest time of the day. Peter has been collecting my Son and taking him to school in the mornings which has taken a huge amount of pressure off both myself and my Son in the mornings and his attendance has improved.

Yesterday the school notified me that they are no longer moving toward prosecution but will continue to work alongside myself and my Son and support us wherever possible. The relationship between myself and the school has improved massively also.

I cried when they told me the news yesterday, was so relieved.

So thank you, I’m not ashamed anymore but instead proud. Proud of my Son and myself 🙌🏻♥️
