A and M Childcare's Reviews

Warm, fun and full of love.

After searching around the area unsuccessfully for some time, a friend of ours recommend A and M childcare and we haven’t looked back.
Our son started there at 11 months old. Now almost 2, he can’t wait to get through their doors in the mornings.

It is like a mini family. The ladies there treat him like one of their own. They have also extended their love to my older child who doesn’t attend there but is with me in the evenings for pick ups!

Communication is impeccable. Through the digital care diary we are able to access daily updates on our sons day. There are also lots of pictures and videos! That said, they always have time to talk and answer any questions we may have.

We highly recommend A and M childcare. With them it is complete peace of mind.

A second family!

My daughter started at A&M childcare when she was just over a year old, having been with me and not many other adults due to the pandemic. I needn’t have worried because she has loved her time there. Communication is excellent. Photos and updates are sent throughout the day and any observations/concerns are promptly discussed. Alison, Marcia and Andrea care so much for the children they look after and it has definitely been a second home for my daughter. She has loved playing with her friends in a warm, enriching and purposeful environment designed to support learning and development.

A hidden gem

I have 2 boys currently with the lovely ladies at A&M. I moved my son who is almost 4 to them at 18 months after a short spell at a nursery, moving him was the best decision I have ever made! My now 1.5 year old son has been at A&M since he was 10 months old and I wouldn’t have considered any other option for him.

The beauty and uniqueness of A&M is that with the 3 ladies working together, the kids get the buzz of a nursery but the care of a family in a family home. And they truly are a kind, loving and caring family.

They use an online system to send through photos and videos of milestone moments which gave me comfort when my boys were still babies. They also do activities that just wouldn’t be possible at other settings, trips out to parks, children’s centres, rhyme time at the library, as well as such fun activities at the house like growing vegetables and baking. My boys absolutely love it there and are always in such a happy mood when we pick them up, and my eldest even eats broccoli now thanks to A&M : )

It’s a truly lovely place, with 3 incredibly kind and caring ladies who I absolutely trust with my life, and I feel incredibly lucky to have my boys cared for by A&M, it’s the best start for them I could ask for.

5 stars all round!

I would highly recommend A&M childcare.
My son has been attending since he was around 7 months. I was apprehensive about going back to work but the ladies at A&M made me feel at ease and where amazing with him. My son is now three and the highlight of his week is going to A&M, he absolutely loves it there. I particularly like the homely, family atmosphere at A&M and how they are so attentive to each of the children's needs. My son has learnt so much at A&M as he is always taking part in fun, educational activities which he really enjoys. The updates and communication from A&M has always been brilliant.

Thank you all so much ladies, you are amazing!! 😊

Best childminders around

A&M are a truly special family childminders. I have 2 children who have gone through them (one still there) and I can honestly say that both of them have thrived due to the care and attention they have been shown through the years. They clearly love the children very much and always go the extra mile. Our ‘parents evenings’ are incredibly detailed, you wouldn’t get that level of detail in a usual nursery. The setting is always clean and fresh and they have a lovely garden (with veg patch!) which the kids are always out in. We get regular pictures and updates about their activities and development. When my second son was 3 months old I had to work for a week and they kindly agreed to have him, I had no hesitation in sending him there for that time at that age - that’s how much I trust them. They practically potty trained my eldest son for us, which I am forever grateful for! They organise a graduation ceremony party every year for all the kids and those going to school, and have parties at every child’s birthday. They seem to be able to stretch the children’s skills and abilities in a personalised and individual way. These are just some of the ways they go above and beyond. Mostly they are caring and happy and clearly love what they do. I now have a third child and will certainly be sending her there too without a second thought. We live a little drive away and I looked for a childminder who was closer but no one compared to A&M so I make the effort to do the journey because really they are just fantastic!
