Before I had my daughter I never in a million years could have anticipated how hard going back to work and finding childcare for her would be. That was of course until I found Amanda,she was the only one I felt happy and confident leaving the most precious thing in my life with. Ayla was six months old when I returned back to work and leaving my baby became a reality, I would be lying if I said it was easy but it was the hardest few weeks of my life, lots of tears on my behalf but not one from my baby she loved being at Amanda’s and still does three years later, I now have to drag her away and get pushed out of the door in the morning! Amanda is so easy to talk to nothing is ever a problem she just takes it all in her stride. She always makes time for any worries or concerns, and her love and care for the children is lovely! Amanda’s home is every child’s dream there is everything they could want, it is also impeccably clean! Children and parents are always made to feel very welcome by Amanda and her lovely family! Sending Ayla to Amanda has been the best choice I have ever made, Ayla is confident and advanced with her new teacher even commenting on her knowledge and understanding at her school induction and a lot of that truly is thanks to Amanda! Amanda has become a friend to me and more importantly a very special person in Ayla’s life. So if you’re looking for a childminder who gives a 110% to the children in her care then you have found her. She truly is one in a million. We are devastated that Ayla is off to start school in September and won’t be with Amanda each day.
