My Summary
Young At Heart Childminding
About Me
My name is Angela, I live in a 2 bedroomed, 3 storey house in Abram, Wigan with my 2 pet cats Joshi and Luli.
I am level 4 qualified in early years childcare, and I have up to date mandatory training in safeguarding, paediatric first aid, and level 2 food safety, amongst other relevant qualifications.
I work with an Ofsted approved assistant, and I am currently in the process of registering another assistant who will be working alongside us full time.
He will be enrolling on paediatric first aid, safeguarding, and food hygiene training courses and is currently in the process of applying for an enhanced DBS certificate.
We offer a warm, friendly, home from home environment where children feel safe, nurtured, and happy. We provide a variety of fun, stimulating learning experiences through various toys, equipment and activities both self chosen and adult led, indoors and outdoors which promote all seven areas of children's developmental needs inline with the recommended early years foundation stage framework (EYFS).
We observe and assess each child's development and work very closely with parents/carers to ensure that their children are receiving the best possible care, and experiences to promote all areas of their development, taking into consideration parents' wishes and children's individual needs.
The whole of the ground floor and first floor of the property is used for child minding which comprises of a designated play room, kitchen/utility room, bathroom and enclosed back garden on the ground floor, living room and kitchen on the first floor.
We are registered to look after a maximum of 6 children under 8 years old. However, we only take on 0-4 year olds. We do not cater for school age children. The recommended ratio for under 5's is 1 adult - 3 children, but we will only ever have a maximum of 6 children aged 0-4 years old.
Our full day fee is £40 per day from 08.00 - 17.00. Fees include breakfast, am and pm snacks, drinks, and wipes. (Packed lunch, nappies, and creams to be provided from home).
Term time only contracts are available if required. Term time only fees are paid pro rata, and based on 38 school weeks, divided by 12 months, charged at £6.50 per hour.
We provide 15 - 30 hours, funded child care for all eligible children, from 9 months to 4 years old, with an hourly fee of £5.50 per hour for children who attend longer than their eligible 15 or 30 funded hours. As funding is only available for 38 weeks per year during school term times, we provide 'holiday care' during the school holidays, our holiday care fee is £40 per day and based on each child's usual, term time, contracted days.
We also accept the government tax-free payments and universal credit payments.
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you for your kind words, it really helps to get feedback from parents from time to time. 😊
My daughter has been coming to Angela and Andy since she was 8 months old, they have been absolutely fantastic since day one!
She is now 17 months and has come on leaps and bounds. She always has a lovely day whether it's playing outside in their garden, playing in the well equipped play room or going to the park.
Such a lovely family and fantastic setting.
