Amanda has been looking after my daughter since May 2021. I was initially quite nervous about leaving her with a stranger as she hadn't had any outside-of-the-family childcare at all due to Covid 19 restrictions. However, I needn't have worried as Amanda encouraged us to come for a settling in session and took it slowly to build up a rapport with her. Now it truly is a second home for my daughter who loves going on a Tuesday to 'Manda's house'. The cosy environment means she feels relaxed and comfortable but is always kept busy with the zillions of toys and games that Amanda keeps. They go on outings all the time, to the local parks, the botanics, dynamic earth, the natural history museum and soft play to name but a few. Brave Amanda even takes them on the bus occasionally which is hugely exciting for a 2 year old! She really takes account of how the children she's got on a certain day are feeling and adjusts her plans and activities to their needs. We've had lots of lovely handmade creations come home too which are cute keepsakes. Amanda's communication is great, she has been flexible and really helpful to us when I was heavily pregnant with Isabelle's twin brothers for which I'll forever be grateful! I highly, highly recommend her. My favourite park of the day is receiving all the photos of our daughter that have been taken that day. It's great to see how much fun all the children have had and let's you be a fly on the wall. Thank you Amanda! <3
