Couldn't recommend a better childminder. Mandy has been looking after my son since he was 6 months old, my son was also exclusively breastfed so wasn't as easy giving him a bottle. Mandy was so patience and understanding and helped us as much as she could.

Since day one my son comes home with a new skill his learnt from the other kids, Mandy or one of the fabulous days out Mandy will always organise from various Toddler Groups, picnics in the park to crafting activities on rainy days. My son's millstones have always been achieved early or when they are advised. I'm sure this is due to the development from Mandy's. His is now 17 months old and jumps into Mandy's arms every morning and blows her kisses when he leaves. I'm sure all can appreciate how anxious we can be as parents when our kids cry going into chidminders/schools etc. This is a massive bonus for our family to be able to focus on working days.

The home environment Mandy provides is perfect and comforting for my son and I'm sure the other kids. Mandy is always approachable and happy to help with any concerns or questions. Always clean considering how many kids are playing in her lovely home.

The food always smells good when we pick up and drop off. Haven't yet had the pleasure of trying any. Mandy is also happy to help or make alternative arrangements with any food requests or allergies.

Brilliant childminders for all ages. So happy we came across Mandy and knowing our son is in save hands when not with us.
