Amanda

Amanda Jones

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2025

I’ve always had a passion for working in early years and supporting children as they grow, learn, and thrive. With over 15 years in the childcare industry, I’ve dedicated my career to creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, supported and encouraged to reach their full potential.


My passion for childcare led me to start my own business, Mini Minding Events, providing bespoke childcare for weddings and special occasions. When I learned that Lots for Tots was expanding into childcare, I knew it was something special to be a part of. Their values align perfectly with mine—creating a warm, welcoming space where children can flourish and where staff feel valued, supported and part of a team that truly makes a difference.


I’m excited to lead a team that shares this vision, working together to provide outstanding care and education in those crucial early years.

This personal experience drives my passion for creating a nurturing and inclusive environment at Lots for Tots Childcare – one where children thrive and parents feel supported every step of the way.


With a professional background in HR and Recruitment Management, I’ve honed my skills in fostering positive relationships, building strong teams, and ensuring that every voice is heard. At Lots for Tots, I’m committed to creating a setting where children, families, and staff feel safe, happy, and valued.


For me, it’s not just about providing exceptional care for the children – it’s about building a community where everyone can grow, learn, and feel cherished. Together with our dedicated team, I’m excited to help your little ones flourish in their early years.

Hi, I’m Jess! I’ve been working in childcare for over 5 years and have completed both my Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications. I absolutely love watching children grow, learn and explore — especially outdoors where there’s always something new to discover!


I’m also a big fan of messy play… whether it’s paint, mud or glitter, I’m all in!


I’m so excited to be taking this next step as Deputy Manager at Lots for Tots Childcare, and I can’t wait to meet all the lovely children, families and team members along the way.
