About Me

I am a OFSTED Registered Childminder, I have 1 full time space and 1 part time place available from beginning of August 2024. I work Monday-Friday i except FUNDED HOURS. I LIVE 5 MINS FROM ADDENBROOKES HOSPITAL. I also offer AFTER SCHOOL CARE from TRUMPINGTON PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL. I have a vast amount of experience with children from birth to young adults I know the importance of how children learn through play.I have a degree in early years and a level 3 in children and young peoples workforce. And also level 3 in playwork.

As a childcare professional I make sure I track a child’s progress in order to always keep them working towards their next steps of development. I encourage learning and self confidence in children to help them become independent.

It is also important that me and their parents work closely together for best possible learning outcomes for their child. I am very caring and nurturing as I believe this plays a major role in making a child feel secure and safe which is the foundation of being able to learn and progress.

I enjoy working with children and families and have spent many years working with children my own included. I have run groups within childrens centres for over 5 years and have been a nanny for 2 years.

I feel very strongly that every child is an individual and that they all have different needs and it is our job as childcare staff to help them fulfil their potential in a very holistic way.

I have a 2023 CRB, And a level 3 diploma in children & young people’s workforce I am always punctual and have acquired a vast amount of experience in many different areas of childcare.

I can provide a stable, safe and enjoyable experience for children in my care. And great references from current parents. Please ask if you would like an information pack and I will forward one ASAP.

Mandy has been looking after our 1.5 year old daughter for 3 months now. She settled in incredibly quickly, has built an extremely strong bond with Mandy and the other children and loves going to the setting. We really appreciate the fact that Mandy takes the children out every day to different play groups, the park, the nature reserve, soft play, Shepreth wildlife park etc and they spend a lot of time outside, which our daughter really enjoys. They also do a range of activities when at home- including baby yoga and arts and crafts. Our daughter regularly comes home with different pieces of artwork she's created! Her confidence around other children has also grown massively since being with Mandy.

Mandy is also brilliant at keeping us updated- sharing notes with us in a booklet every day and regularly sending photos and videos :) She is always extremely professional and has been very flexible and supportive when we've needed to tweak pick up times etc.

Overall we would definitely recommend Mandy- we couldn't be happier with how brilliantly she looks after our daughter.
