My son has been minded by Amanda 3 full days a week since he was 7 months and from the initial couple of trial runs he has loved every minute. I have no qualms leaving him there as I can see how happy he is with Amanda, her children who are absolutely lovely and a credit to her and the other children she looks after.
They do plenty of activities and she is very interested in his development. In fact as a first time mother I have found her tips and help invaluable.
A very caring and competent child minder that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.
