Term time, school holidays and wrap around care. Currently do school runs to Burrsville Infants, Great Clacton Juniors and Holland Park school.

My son had been with mandy this last year, since he was a year old. She is incredible and goes above and beyond to help us with our needs, she's lovely, down to earth and does so much with the children. She's always out and about at clubs and groups and makes the most of the outdoors. My son has an amazing bond with her and I feel so confident when leaving him with her. Her garden is huge and she has a wonderful play room with lots of activities. We love mandy and hope to stay with her for a long time

Oh wow, thank you for such a wonderful review! I always feel appreciated by you but it’s lovely to read this. I too hope your amazing little man is with me for a long time to come - we have many more adventures planned! Xx
My daughter went to Mandy after my first childminder gave up. We visited Mandy once, and decided almost there and then she was the right fit for our family. Our daughter was 3 when she started and settled in so well and Mandy made everything so simple. Our little one goes Monday to friday all day and she loves it. All our needs have been met without any hesitation and Mandy's communication with us is brilliant. Would highly recommend Mandy to anyone looking for a childminder.

Thank you so much! It’s been a total pleasure to have your little lady. She makes me laugh every day with her unique way of looking at things! Going to miss having her all day after September but I’m looking forward to hearing about all the new and exciting things she will be doing at school xx
Mandy looked after my boys whilst they were growing up, they are now adults. They both still can recall their time spent with Mandy. I was very reluctant at leaving my boys,but Mandy made me and them feel so at ease. All those fears soon disappeared. I have since had another child, who Mandy has looked after, her experience has also been a fabulous and happy one. In my experience, Mandy goes above and beyond For everyone. I wouldn’t trust anyone outside my family, other than her with my children. I would give her more than 5* if I were able to. She really is a fabulous lady and childminder. I can not recommend her enough.

Thank you so much for a lovely review, such a great experience looking after your children, always a pleasure to have them! Even better I gained a great friend from it! ❤️Xx
My children are now adults but still remember their days at Mandy's with such lovely memories. Mandy is a childminder that goes way beyond what she needs to and I would not hesitate in recommending her. Your children will definitely have a wonderful time and be in excellent hands.

Thank you so much Sally, such special times for me too - our children growing up together! I have a lot of happy and some very funny memories! Happy Days ❤️ Xx
My daughter has been with Mandy for 2.5 years which was meant to be temporary. Mandy is great and will do anything to accommodate your needs. Reliable and flexible with a loving nature. My daughter feels so comfortable and enjoys having dinner there every night with the other children. She communicate well with the parents about holidays so you are able to plan well in advance. I would definitely recommend :-)
