Amber is a wonderful, caring and creative childminder who over the course of the last 5 years has looked after both my children and through varying periods of the COVID pandemic. Despite the challenges faced by the pandemic and that my eldest had stayed in our care at home until he was over 18months, he immediately settled with Amber and warmed to her and I never had any concerns leaving him in her care and then similarly for our daughter when she started attending, she fell in love with Amber. Both still talk about her to this day.
Amber is caring, kind, attentive and creative. With every day packed full of fun, games, arts and crafts, singing, music and adventures in the allotment next to their house and in the garden.
We love how much time the children spend outdoors, learning about nature, their environment, where food comes from. Additional to learning all the skills needed to prepare them for school including numbers, letters and colours.
Both my children have been nurtured and cared for as if they were in a home setting and at the same time prepared for onwards preschool and the next stages in life. I feel so grateful to have found Amber as a childminder and for my children to have had such care and creatively to help shape them and

Amber is a really kind, considerate childminder and we were so pleased when we started sending our daughter to Amber along with Sally and Colin. Our 2 year old still asks after Amber months later and talked about her in the evening like she'd been hanging out with a good friend. She managed to find a balance between carer and fun companion. No small undertaking. Our daughter always looks forward to her days with Amber, Sally and Colin, lots of fun activities, painting, dancing and dressing up.

We were absolutely over the moon to have found Sally, Colin and Amber. The setting was really important for us and it’s so wonderful to see pictures of the children having fun running around the allotments and learning about nature. We loved how much Sally and Amber get the kids outside and how much effort they put in to making the days varied. Our little boy has absolutely flourished under their care, from learning how to look after smaller babies to creating beautiful arts and crafts and having lots of fun along the way! We feel lucky to have found Sally, Colin and Amber and would have no hesitation recommending
