Mandy Wilkinson

My Summary

My Experience

I have provided many years of childcare and I pride myself in offering a very reliable and professional childcare service, with flexibility to meet the needs of working parents.

My ethos as a childminder is to keep my child numbers low. This enables me to provide a one to one childcare service which I believe is very important as children start their learning journeys.

I provide a warm, caring, relaxed and friendly home environment where children can play, learn and develop. I have a wide range of activities for your child to promote learning and enjoyment through play and I follow the Early Years Foundation Curriculum as part of Ofsted's requirements.

I aim to provide a safe, happy and stimulating environment where the activities and resources reflect the children's interests and children feel able to play, explore, develop confidence and self esteem.

Parents can leave their children knowing that they will be safe, happy and most importantly loved.


Testimonial

1.
I still have that warm feeling when I think of how Mandy cared for my girls whilst I worked long hours in London. The most wonderful home from home care, more than just a Childminder, highly recommend.


2.
Mandy was utterly amazing with my youngest. He adored her, as did we, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Mandy made life for us as easy as possible and kept in touch with us all the time keeping us up to date and just being fab!


3.
A godsend when I returned to work! After calling 15 childminders I knew instantly Mandy would be our choice just from her calm and caring manner.

Mandy effortlessly takes care of the children to such high standards, I don’t think she realises how good she is at her job. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Mandy was reassuring and sensitive to my transition back to work. She really cares for the children and it shows in the way she interacts with them ... she has nothing but love for them. My daughter has come so far so quickly and that is thanks to Mandy, so thank you very much xxx
