Mandy is fantastic and I couldn’t juggle life without her!!! My little boy(now 4 yrs) has attended Mandy’s childcare setting for the last year and a half. As soon as I met Mandy I knew it was the right fit for us. Mandy is so caring, kind and nurturing. My little boy loves her. In her care, I’ve seen him develop and grow into an amazing little person almost ready for starting school. Mandy plans and organises lots of fun activities, catering individually to his developmental needs always. She knows when he needs to be challenged and recognises when he just needs some ‘jack’ down time. Mandy is a great support, not only for Jack but for me too. Always there for advice or just a listening ear. Jack loves spending time with and forming friendships with the other little children in Mandy’s care during the day but also loves having the opportunity to mix with the big boys and girls who come before and after school too. I have another child(6 yrs) who also attends Mandy’s in the mornings before school drop off at St Wilfred’s. When he wakes daily one of the 1st things he asks me is ‘is it a Mandy day?’ He loves starting the day there which is a real testament in itself. As I drop the boys off at Mandy’s before heading to work, I’ve often found myself feeling a bit envious and wishing i was on a Mandy day too!!! I can’t recommend Mandy enough to anyone thinking about using a childminder.
