Mandy has been looking after our daughter Lily since I have gone back to work from maternity leave. From the moment we walked into Mandy's setting we felt it was a spotlessly clean, calm environment and lovely setting for our daughter to spend time in.

Mandy is a very caring person and Lily has grown fond of her since starting in her setting. She is thoughtful and has paid attention to Lily's needs and unique personality - such as noticing how she is very affectionate and needs extra cuddles for encouragement, and how she can be settled by watching what Mandy is cooking! She has also been an excellent communicator with me and is always reachable during the day.

Mandy provides a healthy variety of food which she conscientiously logs so that I can see how Lily has faired each day, and equally this gives me ideas of what to cook Lily when I need inspiration.

I can see that Mandy takes joy from watching Lily progress and she clearly loves children. We are really happy with how Lily is progressing at Mandy's and couldn't recommend her enough.
