Amanda is amazing. The care that she provides for my son (who has been with her since he turned 1) has been faultless and the fact that I can leave my son in such a happy, safe and loving environment gives me enormous peace of mind. It is obvious that Amanda loves babies and children and this comes across in her every action with them. She fills their time with fun activities from across the range of creative, active and literary, but also gives them plenty of time to play with the great range of toys in her spacious home and large garden. She also cares greatly about developing the children, teaching them their colours and numbers, naming things as she goes along, encouraging them to repeat words and actions. As a result, my son has a lot of fun with Amanda, and toddles into her home each morning happy, confident and excited about the day ahead.
Her food is great (I know this because I have tasted it!). Amanda has a lovely family – her two children are fun loving, kind and polite, and she instills the same traits in the children in her care. Amanda writes daily updates to a secure online site, often uploading photos so we have a lovely record of what they have been up to. On top of being the best childminder I have met, Amanda is organised and considerate in planning time off so we are able to plan around any holidays months in advance – a huge advantage when we don’t have family close by to help out. I could not recommend her more.
