Amber is a fantastic childminder. My daughter absolutely loves going to Amber's. She has a fantastic time and I am always kept up to date with what molly is doing during the day. Amber's take the children out to parks and local groups and provides them with lots of great toys to play with. We adore having Amber as our childminder and my daughter always asks after her on the days she isn't there. 100% recommended using Amber as your childminder. She is a true gem!

Being a new mum I was very anxious about taking my son to a childminder. I had an instant connection with Amber and so did my son! He enjoyed every minute of his time with her and that made me feel so much better about leaving him to go back to work.
Amber has a lovely kind nature and children just seem to warm to her . We are gutted to be moving away from the area, but would definitively recommend Amber to anybody in the local area to Llantwit.
My son has a huge grin on his face when he gets to the gate and he’s smiling when I collect him. I could not of asked for a better experience . Thank you Amber for everything !!

When my first child was small, I registered and worked as a childminder in Hereford for 3 years and then moved to South Wales to work at a University. When my son came along, I was certain that I wanted him to go to a childminder rather than a nursery. I knew it would be really tough leaving him with anyone having looked after my daughter until she started school. I already knew an incredible local childminder who I completely trusted, but was devastated to find that she only had space one day a week. She recommended Amber for the other 2 days, and assured me that she would have happily left her own children with Amber.

I'm notoriously picky, but when I met Amber I knew that our childcare search was over, and that she was 'the one'! I cancelled all of the other childminders that I had booked in to meet and signed up with her immediately. This was a brilliant decision, and my husband and I (and our son) couldn't have been happier with her. We only stopped using Amber because my husband's working pattern changed, so he was able to look after our son at home on 'Amber days'.

Amber is cuddly, hilariously funny and genuinely loves children. She has an amazing bond with my son. When he was a baby he was always happy to arrive at her house. I remember him humming tunes when he was very small that I had never sung to him, and realised that Amber must have been singing to him regularly. When he started speaking he sometimes used phrases that I could tell he had picked up from Amber (I could tell this becuse he said them with a slightly Bristolian accent!) - these phrases were all lovely positive, things like "wow - that's brilliant!" and "amazing!"

Amber is incredibly professional. Her house is immaculate and she is very well organised on her policies/procedures/contracts/billing. She plans bespoke activities to suit the children in her care and she takes them out every single day. She is part of a circle of exceptional childminders that live in Llantwit Major and they all meet up regularly and plan educational activities together for all of the children, such as sand and water tables in the garden, or picnics at the park. This has meant that my little boy developed friendships with a wide range of children. Typical activities were trips on the train to Bridgend and then a play at Once Upon a Playtime or picnics in the park.

I cannot recommend Amber enough - she ticks all the boxes and we miss her already!

Amber has looked after my daughter three days a week before and after school this year. It's been an absolute pleasure to deal with Amber, she's a very friendly and approachable person and I would highly recommend hey to anyone. My daughter loves playing with her and I've been incredibly impressed with how hands-on Amber is with all the kids. You can tell she genuinely loves children and enjoys spending time with them, and to me that is by far the most important thing about a childminder. She's also organised with all her paperwork and her house is always immaculately clean which are both also important. I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about Amber because she's been an absolute gem.

Amber looks after my daughter every week and my sons in school holidays. I always feel very confident when the children are with Amber, she ensures they are safe but have lots of fun too. My children really enjoy the activities she provides and especially love time with Bella the dog. I would thoroughly recommend Amber to other parents.

My daughter has been going to Ambers for the past 5 years, on a daily basis. She arrives at 6.45 am and has breakfast with her. She is reliable and my daughter enjoys going there. She loves Ambers pets, although she was very aprensive when first going there. I thoroughly recommend Amber if you are looking for a childminder.

Our two boys spent a lot of time with Amber. For this time she was a god send! I had never left my children with anyone before so was really apprehensive in the beginning but those troubles washed away the first few times we met. The boys loved spending time with Amber and were kept active. Amber was always very flexible and helpful. We really appreciated the effort she put in with our boys and the learning adventure that she provided to all of us.

Amber is a brilliant childminder. My son was in her care for a number of years and he absolutely loved his time with her. He had fun and learned a great deal, thanks to her excellent standard of care and the learning opportunities she provided to him and the other children she looked after. Amber is still very much one of my son's favourite people!

Amber looked after my son for approx a year before he started school.
I never had to contend with tears when leaving him as he always knew he'd be having fun with Amber. He really did flourish with her.
I would highly recommend Amber to anyone!
