My name is Mandy and i am married to Phil who is a lorry driver and my part time Ofsted registered assistant. We have two daughters. Emily is 24 and lives in London. She comes home for the holidays. Katie is 19 and is at South Cheshire College. She lives at home. We have two elderly cats called Flower and Petal. They are friendly, especially Petal who loves to fuss children of all ages.

I am an ex nurse (qualified) with 20 years experience of working with children and adults. I am very experienced in looking after children with learning and medical needs. I offer a flexible childminder service, my own children went to a childminder and I understand the need for flexible care especially for shift working parents.

Even though my girls are grown up, i have up to date experience of looking after babies. toddlers and pre-schoolers. My niece and nephews visit regularly at weekends to give mums and dads a well earned rest.

I volunteer with Parent Partnership, working as an advocate for parents of children with extra learning needs through out Cheshire. I am also a Parent governor at Oaklands Special School in Winsford. I have special responsibility for Child Protection and Governor Training.

Myself, my husband and children have all been CRB (enhanced) checked. I have public liabilty insurance underwritten by Morton Michel. I am a member of the NCMA. My car has insurance for business use and so does my home.
