Mandy was our first chosen childminder and we were lucky enough to also be neighbours (on the same street).
We decided to send our little boy to Mandy's atleast once a week from the age of one for social interaction reasons. We don't regret it one bit.....
When you first meet Mandy, she immediately gives you a calm, happy feeling and this is passed onto the children in her care straight away. She is always well presented (even first thing in the morning), her house is always warm, clean and comforting. Another added bonus is she provides, breakfast, lunch and snacks all included for children there all day.
It was nice to find a childminder that doesn't look after other children around their own, taking them all on school runs etc. That's something we've had to accept since moving home and seeking childcare elsewhere. We were truly spoilt having Mandy as our first childminder and had we not moved to the opposite side of Norwich, we'd still be using her.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. She's professional, cautious, careful, warm and kind and kids love her.
Every other childminder should seek to be as good as Mandy!!
