Angela is an absolutely exceptional childcare professional who any family would be lucky to have care for their children.

Having done a stint of childminding myself years ago, I was very picky about who I was prepared to leave my baby with. I met Angela as she used to look after 2 children from my daughter's primary school. We tended to park in the same place, and I remember noticing the lovely way that she interacted with the children in her care. They would run out of class and give her an enormous hug and then on the walk back to the car she would talk to them about their days with genuine interest and love, they would chat about the things they could see in the hedgerows, or the clouds. I remember thinking then what a lovely childminder she was then, so when I became pregnant with my son, I knew that I would want Angela to look after him when I went back to work.

I feel privileged that my son had the opportunity to be cared for by Angela for 2 years when she was working as a Registered Childminder. In this time she was rated Excellent by the CSSIW which came as no surprise because she is just absolutely brilliant in every way.

Angela is so calm, so loving and so kind. She is incredibly intelligent and patient and truly loves children (and they love her). It is no surprise that her own children (both in their 20's) are two of the most delightful people you could ever meet.
