Amy
Childminder in Cranleigh (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted registered childminder based in Alfold. I have two children of my own. I love going out on trips and doing activities with the children such as messy play, forest activities and arts and crafts. Our favourites are Fishers Farm and Wild tots in Cranleigh!
My Experience
I became a childminder after having my children and wanted to spend more time with them which being a police detective at the time couldn’t allow for! My mum was a childminder for over thirty years so I have plenty of experience in the childminding world. I have helped various families either long term or ad hoc providing flexibility of hours and particular needs.
My Qualifications
I am First Aid trained both for childminding but also have been a police detective for the last 6 years and have plenty of experience with young children including my own.
My Availability
I currently have space from start of January 2027 for a full time child, hours between 7 if necessary to 6pm. I can also offer less days if 5 days is not needed.
My Fees
- Babysitting from £10.00 per hour
- Childminding from £9.00 per hour
I am happy to accept funded hours and tax free childcare. My hours over the 30 free hours are £9ph.

I always wanted a more intimate environment for my son’s childcare when I returned to work, Amy is perfect for this. My son has settled so well & loves going to Amy, spending time with her & her two beautiful children. Amy uploads all relevant information about my son’s day keeping me well informed & uploads photos so I can see him enjoying himself. Amy has made this experience so easy & calm, I know my son is in wonderful hands while I’m at work & am so grateful, highly recommend.

I couldn’t have asked for a better childminder for Neve over the summer. From the very beginning, Amy made Neve feel so welcome and comfortable. Neve was a little hesitant some mornings, but Amy handled it so calmly and reassuringly. Within minutes, Neve would be happy and chatting away to Amy about her weekend.
Neve had the most amazing summer, filled with baking, crafts, fun activities and some fantastic days out. She came home full of stories and always had something exciting to tell me about her day! The app Amy uses is also fantastic, as she shares little snippets of their days, which was so lovely for me to see while I was at work.
Knowing Neve was happy, safe and having such a great time made going to work so much easier for me. I’m so grateful for all the care, effort and experiences Amy gave Neve throughout the summer. It’s clear how much thought she puts into making each day fun and special, and Neve absolutely loved her time there.
Neve is already booked back in for the autumn half term, which I think says it all!
I would highly recommend Amy to any parent looking for a caring, reliable and fun childminder. Thank you for making Neve’s summer so special!

I have used Amy a few times now as an ad hoc babysitter for my two children who are 5 and 1. She has such a caring nature and feel at ease when leaving my children in her care. I recieve regular check ins and always feel reassured that my children are experiencing the best care possible. Will continue using Amy when we need a babysitter. Thank you!

Amy has settled in our little girl beautifully. We feel unbelievably lucky to have found such a caring childminder. Amy takes our daughter out to a range of fun activities each day throughout the local area and shows great care. Amy also updates you through the day using the kinder app. It’s lovely to see pictures each day.
