Amanda is exceptional

We have been incredibly fortunate to have Amanda care for not just one but two of our children. Our eldest, who is now thriving in year two, was previously in Amanda’s care, and now our youngest’s time with Amanda is coming to an end as she moves on to nursery, having been with Amanda since she was one year old and having hugely benefited from the same amazing support.

As a parent of three, I can honestly say our youngest is the child I worry about the least, and that is entirely down to Amanda. I have complete confidence that she is in the best possible hands with someone who treats her as if she were her own.

Amanda is incredibly organised and maintains a structured routine, which has been instrumental in helping our child settle and feel secure.

Our child absolutely loves her time with Amanda. She is always happy to go in in the morning, and her beaming smile as we say goodbye reassures me every single day.

The meals provided are very nutritious and balanced, and our child eats so well, which is another testament to the thoughtfulness and care Amanda puts into everything she does.

We couldn’t ask for a better childminder. Amanda provides a warm, loving, stimulating environment where children truly flourish, and we feel lucky to have her in our lives.

From the very start, Amanda created a warm, welcoming, and safe environment where our child has absolutely thrived. The level of care and dedication is exceptional.

Each morning they head out for enriching activities such as playgroups, music groups, or outings, ensuring our child is constantly developing her social skills, fine motor skills, and language abilities. It’s amazing to see how much she has learned under Amanda’s care.

What sets Amanda apart is the genuine love and attention given to each child.

Communication with us as parents is outstanding. We receive regular daily updates, photos, and progress reports, making us feel reassured and involved in our child’s daily experiences.

Amanda’s setting itself is well organised, with plenty of toys and resources to stimulate curiosity and creativity.

Amanda fosters an environment where kindness, respect, and independence are encouraged between the children, and we have seen our child flourish under her care.

Above all, we trust Amanda implicitly. Knowing that our child is in such capable, loving hands gives us peace of mind every day.

Any family lucky enough to have their child in Amanda’s care will know exactly why.

Thank you, Amanda, for everything you do.
