The title says it all. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found Amy.
She currently looks after my son, and has done for the last 12 months, since he was 9 months old, and I had to go back to work after maternity leave. He had never been away from me for even a day at this point, so I was really nervous about leaving him. However, i needn't have worried!
Amy provides a warm, inviting home from home environment, and treats every child she cares for like a member of her own family. My son adores Amy and you can see she really cares about him too, always providing cuddles and reassurance when needed. My son loves her children too, often talking about them and saying their names. He gets so excited when we go to her each morning.
Amy goes above and beyond and provides a wide range of activities for the children, they're always age appropriate, and well organised. Her communication is excellent, providing daily updates and lots of adorable photos too, as well as many arty creations we can keep. She is always available if you have any questions and supports any tough phases in development, offering advice and working together when needed.
She teaches all the children to be kind to each other and they all have such a lovely friendship, which is encouraged and nurtured by Amy.
Amy clearly loves what she does and the children she cares for really seem to thrive. I can always hear lots of laughter when I arrive to pick up my son and the other children always look so happy and settled.
I would recommend her to everyone, she really is fab. Thank you Amy for all you do!

Amy is an excellent childminder who is both friendly and professional. My daughter has been with Amy since she was 9 months old, now she is 14 and she loves being with Amy. I was really worried at first since my daughter hardly spent time with anybody other than myself and my partner and I was surprised how quickly she got used to Amy; it only took about two weeks, and now she often does not want to come home. Amy's approach toward children is really kind and respectful; she always encourages them to participate in a variety of activities, including painting, crafts, baking, etc., and I get beautiful pictures as well as my daughter's priceless artwork. They regularly go on walks, feed the ducks and birds, and enjoy the trees, flowers, etc. I'm happy with our choice, Amy keeps us updated on our daughter's mood and progress on a daily basis. I would highly recommend it.

My son Harry started with Harry at 9 months old back in 2016 and still thrives about Amy now at nearly 7. My eldest son Lewis went a coupe of times too and enjoyed himself. Amy was incredible and still is! She exceeded our expectations in so many ways and was always interactive with Harry and ourselves if ever there was a problem. There has not been a single day where Harry has not wanted to go to Amy's and still wants to go there now. Not only is Amy a childminder she is now part of our family. There were Wacky Warehouse mornings, dog walking with a park stop, Tapestry updated regularly with Harry's progress. When Harry started PreSchool Amy went above and beyond to still have Harry and pick him up at his finishing time :)

My daughter started with Amy when she was only 8 months so I could return to work & will stay with Amy until she starts school. Amy is absolutely amazing & am so glad my little girl has been looked after by her. My daughter loves going to Amy’s. She tells me everyday she had a really good day. She provides a great variety of food, activities, outings, educational tasks, baking etc. My daughter absolutely loves Amy to the point I have to pretend to be her lol. Amy has never lets me down, keeps me updated regularly & has been a great support in seeing my family through difficult times. My daughter has learnt so much & her development is mostly down to Amy. I love all the things that get sent home (baking, drawings, paintings, cards, crafts) & we will truly miss Amy when it comes to going to school ☹️. Amy is all about the children, so loving, caring & kind x

Our daughter was just 7 months old went I returned to work and Amy has been absolutely fantastic.

My daughter asks me every morning where she is going and if I say anything other than 'To Amy's' I'm in trouble!

Amy makes every day fun, takes the children out and about and mixes occasionally with another child-minder which my daughter always enjoyed. Amy has never let us down.

I would throughout recommend Amy, a truly lovely and very professional lady.
