Amanda has been such an amazing interim childminder for my little boy for the last year. If I didn't already have my existing one, then she would definitely still be looking after my now 2 1/2 year old boy. During the six weeks our permanent childminder was overseas, my then 1 and a bit year old immediately felt at home and quickly settled becoming part of the family. Due to the nature of my job I needed to find someone willing to have monkey all hours and Amanda was extremely accommodating.
The variety of activities Amanda organises is just brilliant, including outdoor and indoor adventures. She also organises trips with other child minders so my little boy was able to interact with a wide group of children. Over those two months his speech, motor skills and social skills have just become better and better.
I can't recommend Amanda highly enough!! She really is amazing at her job.
One of the best childminders in Acton!!

Amanda has collected my twins from school since they started school 4 years ago. They enjoy their time with her after school, are well looked after, well fed, safe and happy. Amanda is friendly, approachable and cares extremely well for the children in her care. I would certainly recommend her.

I am glad I found her! Amanda has been looking after my three year old son since September 2018. She gives him breakfast and drops him off at nursery everyday. This is my first experience dropping my son with a childminder as he had been at nursery from 9months. He looks forward to going to her house in the mornings and I have not had any problems at all. She communicates effectively and has a warm welcome.
I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a reliable childminder

Amanda has been looking after my son (7 years old) and daughter (5 years old) for the last two years. She collects both from school, gives them tea, and keeps them until I pick them up at 6pm. In terms of the care she provides to the children, this has been exemplary. She is extremely reliable, has always picked up the children on time and has never cancelled at the last minute. I trust her completely to mind my children and they think she is wonderful. They enjoy the meals she provides (especially her spaghetti bolognese!), the films they watch and the activities they do while waiting for me to pick them up. In the two years she has looked after our children, we have had no issues whatsoever and have nothing but praise for her and the care she has provided to our children. Unfortunately, soon we will be moving on, as the children are getting older and wish to attend after-school clubs with their friends. The children will miss her but now others can experience what it is like to have a caring childminder like Amanda. I whole-heartedly recommend her and would be happy to answer any further questions.

Amanda has had my son for 3-4 mornings a week since September when he started his PM sessions at nursery. At 1st as expected he was not keen on going, however once he got to know Amanda and settled in with her he LOVES his mornings with her and looks forward to seeing her.
Amanda has my son in the morning provides him with the option of breakfast. during the day she often takes him out to local parks and play centers. I know my son loves his days out with her because he comes home after school and club and tells us all about his mornings with Amanda. It is very handy that she also gives my son a nice filling hot meal before school this is very important for me as we arrive home quite late in the evenings. My son also has a number of allergies and Amanda has supported me in keeping out of his diet.
I am very happy that I choice Amanda as a childminder as her service is to a very high standard you can see she genuinely cares for the children she has and my son absolutely loves spending his mornings with her.
She is a very nice lady with a lovely home and I feel very comfortable with my son spending the morning with her.
I would highly recommend her. She is great more of a nanny then childminder

Amanda cared for my 1 year old son for 6 months (he is now due to attend nursery). She provided a really interactive, professional and caring service. Amanda did various activities with my son, taking him to libraries, play groups and various parks, interacting with other childminders and their key children. She has a really warm and caring manner and my son immediately warmed to her as did i. I felt completely comfortable leaving my son in Amanda's care from our initial meeting, I knew that he would be well looked after and cared for. Amanda treated my son as if he was her own and would even call me to check on him if he was unwell. I truly couldn't have asked for a better child minder to care for my son and welcome us into such a loving home. Thank you Amanda for being part of Cairo's care and development in his early years.

Amanda takes good care of the children and she is so easy to talk to. We left our one year old with her and after two weeks she was saying bye to me every morning, because she was so happy there! She even used to say "Manda, Manda" during the weekend.
I had pictures almost every day and she took the kids to the library, playgroups and days out. My daughter learnt new things, new words and was very well looked after, we were really sad when we had to move far from Acton because we had someone we trusted taking care of our daughter. I would highly recommend Amanda.

Maisie has been with Amanda for four months and I am very happy with the level of care she is receiving.
When I collect Maisie at the end of the day she is always smiling and seems very contented. This has made my transition back to mork much easier. Amanda provides Maisie with an engaging and caring environment, initiating good opportunities to enhance her development.
I would highly recommend Amanda!!
