Best childminder ever!

5 stars

Mandy is absolutely amazing. Both of my children are looked after by Mandy. My two year old girl didn’t speak much when she started with her now she is a chatterbox, she is so independent and comes home every week having learnt something new.
My 11 month old boy can be clingy however Mandy is the best with him and comforts him and gives him time and has an amazing amount of patience.
My children throughly look forward to going every week, and enjoy all the different activities Mandy provides.
I honestly wouldn’t send my children to anyone else, she is like another nana to them and I can honestly say they love her.

Thank you so much for this lovely review. Your 2 are an absolute pleasure to care for and have become part of the family. It’s so nice to have such a great family to work with x

Amazing ! Best childcare we have ever had !

5 stars

My son Levi had been with Mandy for years since he was 1. The only reason we have had to take him away from Mandy is because he was starting school. Mandy has been through everything with us as a family she has not only taken care of our son and helped him grow into an amazing little boy ready for school she has also helped and supported us a family . Always been accommodating if we have had an emergency etc always supported us with the decisions we made for Levi and gave us advice on how to do things if we where unsure of anything. We now don’t see Mandy as someone who provide childcare but as part of our extended family and that is something you rarely find with childcare providers these days. Levi met all his targets even exceeded some all because of the environment Mandy gave him. Mandy provides a loving caring home, scrummy food and even takes them out for treats and days out. Levi has been in both a nursery and with Mandy and taking him out of nursery was the best decision we ever made as a family, so much so we weren’t ready to say goodbye yet so our 1year old daughter will soon be attending Mandy’s too so she can have the same upbringing and love from Mandy that Levi has had . Thank you Mandy !
Love
Jasmin, Sim, Levi and Pippa x

Amazing woman !!

5 stars

My son has been going to Mandy's since he was 10 months old, he's now 2 and has come on brilliantly. He has an amazing bond with Mandy and he enjoys the days he spends with her. Theres always exciting activities planned whether its soft play, going to the farm, picnics in the park etc. I always get updates with pictures from their days, it's so lovely to see and know he's so happy and settled. Even when he's home he asks to go Mandy's house, he loves it!

He always comes home very happy and his manners are impeccable! She's a brilliant role model and mother figure to my Son. I feel so settled knowing he's happy and that I know he'll be doing something fun. Mandy gives him all 3 meals which are always healthy and nutritious. I cannot fault this amazing lady, absolutely perfect in every way. Thank you for being the Mother to my Son whilst I work.

5 stars

Mandy has cared for all four of my children of varies ages over the years they are now 11,8,4 and 2. My eldest has cerebral palsy and profoundly deaf a cochlear implant user. It’s always been difficult to find someone that could meet her needs and that I trust but I couldn’t of asked for a better person to look after them.
Met the needs of my eldest better than I could of expected.
Over the years I’ve known Mandy she’s supported and cared for them all they all still have a great bound with her and the family.
Also my youngest is delayed the time she spends working with her has been brilliant and brought my youngest out her shell so much.
I would definitely recommend Mandy to anyone needing childcare.

One of the Best

5 stars

I contacted Mandy 2 years ago to see if she had space for my daughter as well as contacting another lady Zena. Mandy unfortunately didn't have any space at the time but Zena did. Once my daughter started I soon found out that Zena and Mandy are friends and actually spend a few days a week on days out together etc to me this is the best of both worlds, the 2 women I chose to message to look after my bundle of joy and I was lucky enough to not just get one of them I got them both without even realising. :)
2 years on and Mandy has been a godsend when Zena has been on holiday or days off and my work wont allow me to have the time off. Mandy has always offered before I have asked, to look after my daughter whilst Zena isn't available - what more does a mum want hey!!
Not only that, my daughter loves Mandy like a Nana, she talks about her all the time and I trust her 100%.

Mandy is an excellent childminder and you can tell in her approach that all the children she cares for are put first. My daughter loves going and is always excited to see her.
They spend days at home playing on her amazing outdoor swing set (my LO loves it) or days out at the farm, soft play, park, strawberry picking, picnics etc My LO is very advanced for her age and I owe it all to Mandy and Zena!
I would recommend Mandy over and over again to any parent who is nervous about leaving their little one. She is my Superstar go to childminder when im in need!

My experience

2 stars

When I first met Mandy I felt really at ease as she was lovely, she looked after my son for around 3 months. As time went on I felt like she was stressed a lot and then text us saying she couldn’t look after him anymore. It was my first ever time leaving him with someone so I was really disappointed as I had to put my trust into someone else who dropped him. Apart from that Mandy was always lovely and understanding.

Fantastic

5 stars

Mandy took care of my daughter for a year since she was 9 months old and was brilliant. She loved going and settled really quickly, it was like she had a second family! Mandy was also very flexible with times so it was great for me and my partner's working life. I really enjoyed reading my daughter's diary and seeing what activities she had done everyday. Couldn't have asked for a better childminder, it's a shame we had to move. Thank you Mandy for giving our little girl a great start!
