My Summary
About Me
My name is Angela and I live in Royston and have done for the last 32 years.
I have 4 children aged between 34 and 24. I have 4 grandchildren aged between 12 and 2.
I have my own car and a full and clean driving license.
I am Ofsted registered.
I have been in childcare now for a number of years. After bringing up my own children I went to Hertford College and achieved my level 3 nvq in childcare. I started work at a preschool as a deputy supervisor whilst I completed my level 3 in 2007 and in 2009 I became supervisor and ran the preschool for just over 8 years. I have gained a lot of qualifications along my way both by attending face to face and online training. I then became a nanny before completing training with Ofsted to become a registered childminder. I have lots of experience with children from birth upwards. I also have experience looking after twins.
I enjoy being out and about and have a clear insight into the early years foundation stages and what is expected and when.
At my setting i welcome parents to view before deciding. I know how difficult a decision is to send your child to childcare. I have references from past and present children I have looked after. I have a separate room for children to sleep in away from other children playing. My setting is very much home from home.
I have an up to date paediatric first aid and safeguarding.
I work closely with a lady called Karen and we meet up most days weather permitting to do crafts and go out to the park, library etc. This enables the children to mix with a wider number of children giving them bigger chances to develop their social skills but still have the home from home feel with a smaller setting.
I am registered to take the 9 month funding, 2 year old funding and the 15 and 30 hrs funding.
I am also registered with a range of different childcare voucher schemes.

Angie's review
Our daughter has been with Angie since October 2022. Finding Angie was an absolute godsend, as we were moving to Royston from London we had no hope securing a nursery space with the time we had available and Angie was just amazing, she kept a space open while we waited for our house purchase to complete (and it was inevitably delayed by several weeks). As we have no family nearby, Angie treats our daughter as an extended member of the family and we are forever grateful!
Angie deeply cares about, and is dedicated to the development of, our child. She has only their best interests at heart, she goes above and beyond anything we would have expected and is excellent at keeping parents informed of the children's day and any concerns are flagged early and discussed. We completely trust Angie with the care of our child, she's been just absolutely brilliant and we're sad it's time to move up to preschool.
In Angie's care our little girl has grown into a beautiful, articulate and well rounded toddler who enjoys crafting, reading, singing and dancing as well as being able to communicate with older children, she also is gentle around smaller children and babies. Each holiday, and birthday event is celebrated and our home is bursting with homemade crafts. We have a beautiful book filled with updates and photographs to show how our daughter has progressed in Angie's care, and we also receive periodical updates to show how she is progressing against the curriculum.
We can't recommend Angie highly enough, she's absolutely brilliant and we thank her from the bottom of our hearts!.
Angie has been looking after our 1 year old daughter since September and we could not be happier with the care she provides. Our daughter felt immediately comfortable and happy with Angie as she is so warm and friendly. Angie is very creative and does wonderful craft activities with the children, and lots of messy play! She also makes sure they have plenty of fresh air and outside play and it’s lovely that she works with Karen so the children have an even wider circle of friends and even more expert care by another great childminder. It’s such a good feeling to know that our daughter is getting such incredible care while we are working, and we feel so lucky to have found Angie. Thank you amazing Angie!
Angie was absolutely wonderful with our daughter. Although she only attended for a short time Angie made sure her time there was filled with fun! Angie was particularly brilliant when our daughter went through a really difficult patch and was really struggling to settle. Angie went above and beyond to try and help, even going as far as recommending alternative provision (which it turned out we didn’t need thanks to Angie’s care and attention!)
Everything Angie did with our daughter was kind and thoughtful, from helping her play with toys to the lovely cards and gifts the children made for special occasions. Thank you Angie for everything!
Working alongside Karen, Angie was a wonderful, flexible childminder. Very kind and considerate and my daughter adored her.
Our son has been at Angie’s for 1.5 years, every day he runs inside and doesn’t look back, a deeply reassuring sign of how content he is. Angie has been INCREDIBLE, so thoughtful, patient and full of love. Despite having a few children in her care, she has the ability of making you feel like she’s totally dedicated to the development of your child.
As we’ve grown as parents, I couldn’t have imagined having a better set up for our son. We implicitly trust Angie and know she has our son’s best interests at heart. Angie’s communication is reassuring and consistent, she understands the wants and needs of parents brilliantly.
A typical day at The Messymadhouse is full of colour, creativity and fun learning. Our boy has come on so well in Angie’s care. Angie is brilliant at celebrating landmark occasions and pours love and care into sentimental keep sakes for parents to shed a well up over.
Angie, you are amazing and we can’t thank you enough for the support you’ve given our family. Thank YOU!
