Amanda has looked after our daughters for 20 months now and we couldn’t praise her highly enough. In that time our 2 year olds development has come on leaps and bounds- her speech and confidence is brilliant. When I had my third daughter last June there was no doubt that Amanda would look after her too- she made such an effort to bond with my daughter while I was off on maternity leave that when I went back to work there were no issues at all. She’s really accommodating at short notice and understands that sometimes being a working mum means things happen that are out of our control and she’s always happy to help. I know my girls are happy and settled and that really helps me when I am at work – the texts and pictures I get during the day are great. Having had our 6 year old in nursery until she went to school I can honestly say the level of care my daughters receive from Amanda far exceeds that of an expensive day nursery. Her experience and the facilities she has available are second to none. She is honestly like part of the family and our girls love going to her. The only reason we are leaving her is because we are relocating to Portsmouth and even though we have asked many times for her to come she has said no!! If considering Amanda as a child-minder please feel free to contact me for a reference.
