My Summary
Home From Home Childcare
About Me
I am an Ofsted Registered Childminder and hold a current enhanced DBS certificate.
With many years of experience, I provide a warm, caring, "home-from-home" environment where children feel safe, valued, and supported. Many of the families I have cared for have become an extension of our own family, with children and parents staying in touch and visiting long after they have started school.
I offer a wide range of age-appropriate toys, educational resources, and activities designed to support each child’s individual interests and stages of development. We focus on learning through play, creativity, and exploration in a nurturing setting.
I have a dedicated play room with a variety of resources suitable for all ages and abilities. All children are treated equally, with respect and kindness, ensuring they feel happy, secure, and comfortable throughout their day.
If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit to meet me and see the setting, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I would love to hear from you.
My Experience
I have been an Ofsted Registered Childminder for over 20 years and have a wealth of experience caring for children of all ages.
Over the years I have cared for more than 100 children, from babies as young as 6 weeks old through to children up to 14 years.
In addition to childminding, I have worked in local schools and nurseries, and I have experience supporting children with additional needs. This includes caring for children with autism and children who are deaf.
I also have extensive experience caring for twins, having looked after 10 sets of twins over the last 15 years — something I particularly enjoy!
I take great pride and passion in my work. My setting is a warm, family-orientated environment where every child is treated with the same love, care and respect as if they were part of my own family. I believe the best way to see the quality of care I provide is to visit my setting.
If you would like to find out more or arrange a visit, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you.

My eldest has attended little angels since she was 8 months old and she is now almost 10.
She enjoyed going to Gails from the start and Gail made it an easy transition for all of us.
She made lots of friends and learned so many new things and not just numbers etc but also manners and cleanliness etc.
She still gets so excited to go to Gails in the holidays and still has lots of new experiences there including new healthy foods and different crafts and messy fun.
My baby will also be attending little Angels soon and I know it will be a great experience for us all and she will develop well there just like her sister did.
Gail, you have been a second family to us all these years.
Thankyou for the endless love, care and support you have given us and keeping my child happy and safe.
I couldn't of picked a better childminder

My youngest of 4 attends Little Angels. My elder children all pre schooled at private nurseries so this was my first experience of a childminder. From day 1 my daughter loved going, she was 7 months when she first attended and now at 18 months she still loves it! She comes home happy and content and always having learned something new.
Home cooked fresh food and outings to the park are just some of the higihlights. Highly recommended!

My partner and I needed someone to look after our two and a half year old, and our 5 month old and we were very happy with the childcare we received and would recommend this childminder to others. She was very caring and aware of our needs. We would use her services again.
