A Home Away From Home

My daughter attended for a year and has only left due to starting full time school.

I had never used a childminder before and my daughter struggled being away from home due to her formative years being in lockdown, however Amanda was amazing. Within minutes of visiting Amanda my daughter was off playing and got upset when we had to leave.

Amanda does so many days out (without extra costs to parents) allowing the children to safely adventure and use their imagination. She also does a lot at home, I got some lovely paintings, drawings and yummy treats made by the children.

Ollie & Lexie (Amanda’s doggies) are amazing, always so gentle with the children. My daughter absolutely loved them and now wants one of her own.

In just a year I have seen such a change to my daughter, the once shy and quiet little girl when out and about is now so confident and chatty. Amanda has played a massive part in helping my daughter grow.

I couldn’t have asked for a better childminder. So understanding and flexible, amazing communication and encourages children to their fullest.

I would 100% recommend Amanda. Her home is a home away from home ❤️

My daughter has been with Amanda for 3 years

My daughter has been with Amanda for 3 years. She was very good at settling her as she had not been looked after by a child minder before. My daughter is 9 and loves going there after school, especially helping Amanda with the younger ones, the dogs/cats and playing in garden.
Amanda is always friendly, never sick and flexible if I need her picked up or looked after for a bit longer than her contracted time.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Amanda.

"A safe, warm and loving environment"

Amanda has been looking after my daughter for 9 months, I visited various childcare establishments to find the perfect childcare for my daughter it never felt quite right but within 5 minutes of meeting Amanda i knew she was 'the one' Amanda was recommended to me by a friend. She has a warm and caring personality which I knew my daughter would feel safe with. My daughter looks forward to her days at Amanda's house, which is a real relief for a first time mum returning to work.

Since being with Amanda, Scarlett has been to Trilakes soft play, Play groups, Play gym, Swimming and daily trips out into the fresh air. On request I receive photographs/ reassuring messages sent to me during the day (all of which include my daughter with a smile on her face) this is just a small touch but makes the biggest difference.
Myself and my husband are incredibly grateful to have found Amanda and would highly recommend her to anybody looking for a safe and loving environment for their little one.
