The team at Amanda's Childminding includes Nat and Jamie and Amanda was adamant that the award was for the team, not just herself.
At her recent anniversary party, celebrating her 20 years, parents signed a keepsake book. One quote was:
"What can I say, you're all absolutely fantastic, you go above and beyond. Nothing is too much trouble. Charlie wouldn't be the young man he is today without you all. A MASSIVE thank you!!!"
We at the local authority would like to thank Amanda and the team for their continued service to the children of North Lincolnshire.
