We were with Amy for about 2.5 months after which she gave us a notice to leave. Sadly our experience wasn’t what we had hoped for and we found it really stressful. Initially it started very positively, however towards the end my daughter was teething a lot (4 molars coming through), which is of course a challenging stage, but we felt there was little understanding or support from Amy. Amy would send numerous stressful texts every week and we were asked to collect my daughter early on several occasions and it was even seen as an issue when my daughter wanted a bit of comfort and to be held.
Although Amy presented herself as experienced childminder, we were surprised by how unsupportive the approach felt and the luck of her knowledge (expecting 1 year old to feed themselves, and to sleep for 2h straight).
We ended up finding a lovely nursery and the experience couldn’t be more different. Overall we definitely wouldn’t recommend Amy.
