We are very lucky to live very close to several different parks so even on not so warm days we can wrap up warm and go on a nature trail.
My Experience

My Availability
As a single working mum myself I know how hard it is to find child care around your working days which is why I made the career change to be a childminder to try and help other parents/careers with the often difficult shift patterns. I can be flexible with my hours and my days to suit every individual need.
I am also able to take children to and from there activities as and when needed to.

Finding a childminder was a little daunting for me as a parent, I was recommended to contact Amy from multiple friends and I can honestly say I couldn't if chosen anyone better!
Amy has been so welcoming to me and laylah and from the minute we met her I felt relieved and reassured that laylah was in be best hands!! Laylah has had the best time going on trips to the cinema, play centre and the farm she Definitely didn't want to come home!
I can't recommend amy enough to any parent looking for a safe and warm loving home for there child to be welcomed into and entertained!!
Thank you so much for making me feel at ease knowing laylah is in the safest hands!

Amy looked after our little girl for 2 years. Our daughter developed in many of areas of her development and Amy ensured she planned personalised and unique activities for our little one to enjoy around her interests and developmental needs. Amy ensures she gets to know your child thoroughly and the bond they had was amazing. Amy sends regular updates through out the day including lots of photos that were always really reassuring to know what your child is doing and how they’ve been. Amy adapted her practice to ensure our daughter, who it was determined has additional needs especially sensory and communication needs, to ensure she was never left out and able to relax and enjoy her time in the setting and out in the community. We never doubted Amy’s skills and abilities to meet all our child’s needs and we would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a friendly, caring, adaptable and professional person to look after their child. We are so thankful to Amy and enjoyed getting to know her as a person as well as a childcare worker. Our daughter and ourselves can’t thank Amy enough and have made happy memories we will cherish forever.

Amy is absolutely brilliant, and our little boy loves to go there. He is there 3 days a week and has improved in all aspects of his development since starting with Amy. She sends updates and pictures throughout the day which is lovely to see throughout the day, and she is so approachable. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

My son loves going to Amy's hes there during school holidays and looks forward to it everytime.
She always has days packed with activities so I know hes very active whilst there. She always sends photos and updates during the day so I know what hes doing. Hes always excited to go back the next day and loves playing with the other children hes never ready to come home when I go to pick him up. Always updated with what the next school holiday involves amazing child care and never a second thought leaving him there. Caring and loving environment wouldnt see him any where elts. Fab child care

Amy has always been caring and welcoming to both of my girls and me - nothing is ever too much for her and she can always be relied on - even last minute or in an emergency she will always help out!!
She keeps the children engaged, interested and busy all day long doing many different activities with them, my youngest daughter has the best nights sleep after a day in Amy’s care! My kids both love it at Amys and have often said her Sunday dinners the best 😂
Amy is fun and kind and the kids of all ages just love her! She has a school aged daughter herself and she is also vey kind and has a lovely caring, thoughtful nature and she makes all the children her mum cares for feel very welcome in her home and you can see she genuinely really enjoys the other children’s company.
I would recommend Amy most definitely
