I’ve been with Amanda for over a year now, and I can honestly say she provides an outstanding service!
She is highly organised, punctual, honest, fair, easy to work with and absolutely brilliant with my daughter. She’s a god send and I’m so grateful that I found her.
If your looking for a childminder I would highly recommend Amanda.

I was cautious about getting a childminder, but I have to say finding amanda was the best thing I've ever done! My son loves going there, she is lovely, kind, helpful couldn't ask for more from her!
Kids are well looked after, in a caring and safe environment!
