I found Amanda after initially placing my daughter in a nursery where she didn't settle too well and she was 9 months. She seemed to engage with Macy so naturally when we first went to visit and I knew her home would be a loving and homely environment.

Amanda is warm, calm, has patience and a caring nature about her. She is also very professional and I know that Macy is safe and happy when she is with her. They go out and about and do so many fun activities! Also she eats a good range of foods. Macy has really developed with her talking and interaction/confidence since she has been going. Macy settled straight away and we couldn't be happier with what Amanda does with her.

Each day Amanda puts so much detail in the book about what they have done. It's great to read knowing how much fun they have being having and the pictures that Amanda collates in her folder are lovely to look through.

Overall I am just thankful that I found her and she definitely made my return to work so much easier. Macy had been going for the last 5 months and I love the bond that Macy has developed with Amanda and the other children who she looks after. We really appreciate the input she has given Macy, she's a star! X
