I can not recommend Mandy highly enough. She has been looking after my daughter since she was 6 months old and 8 months down the line I don’t know what we would do without her. She’s part of the family. Our daughter loves her so much and is so happy there. Mandy is so warm and her home is a relaxed, loving family environment. It’s a proper home, and a million miles from the impersonal experience many friends have had with nurseries. We celebrate milestones together, and I know she’s as happy as we are to hear a new word or see her learning.

But the really great thing about Mandy is that while she does all of that, she’s also an absolute pro. She really helps me understand my daughter’s development and does loads of different activities with her. She teaches her something new every day and always has ideas when we are struggling with something.

Being apart from your child is hard, but if you have to, Mandy is the best alternative to being there yourself. I’m so glad she is on this journey with us.
