Aga

Kind caring warm welcoming amazing childminder

My Daughter started attending Agas setting in January she settled in very well and made lots of friends she was always excited about going to Agas . Aga and Joanna always planned fun and enjoyable activities to meet my daughters needs. Aga and Joanna always kept me updated on through the day sending me pictures and videos or my daughter taking part in different activities. Aga and Joanna has helped my daughters confidence grow I couldn’t ask for a better childminders. Aga and Joanna were so understanding and understood all circumstances they are both brilliant with children and amazing practitioners both kind and caring and brought out the best in my daughter. Aga and Joanna always made sure my daughter was meeting her targets and any concerns they had they would always inform me.

Nothing less than amazing

I first brought my daughter to Aga's when she was only 14months old, as I had to return to work. It's always tricky handing over your child to someone new for the first time, however both Aga and Joanna were a God send. They were so kind, friendly and helpful; they even sent updates and pictures of my daughter throughout the day. My daughter settled very quickly there which was very reassuring.
They are amazing with all the children in their care, so loving and warm. My daughter absolutely loved it there, and them, they even used to pick up my 6yr old from school and he loved it too. They do fantastic activities with the children and I really love how they get the children out in nature for walks and to the playground. They prepare fresh and healthy meals each day and are super flexible. My daughter stayed at the setting until she was 3 years old, the age she could start in my son's school Nursery...Convenience purposes only.
It was terribly sad when we left and we still miss them dearly. If you send your child to Aga's you won't be disappointed...I guarantee it.

Fantastic childminders

Aga and Joanna have taken care of our daughter since she was 1 year old (now 20 months) we have such a good experience with them. Our daughter is so happy to see them, she has a big smile and just says bye bye and closes the door on us to go and play! It’s our first time as parents so we did not know what to expect from a childminders but after visiting Aga based on a friends recommendation we decided to scrap our plans to go to the big nurseries and instead have a more intimate homely environment. We decided the best thing was to find someone lovely who would be there consistently and take good care of our daughter, and Aga and Joanna really have a great bond with her. The environment is a lot of fun with toys and kids playing together and we were able to see this during the settling in sessions which was really reassuring. Aga arranges a lot of activities painting, crafting, trying different toys, celebrating different times of the year, sometimes going to the playground or local walks. I can tell they are really enjoying this job and just love to be taking care of the children. We get sent lovely pictures every day of what they have been up to. There is also an app where we see what they have eaten each day, developmental updates, nappy changes etc. The house is perfect for kids with a great garden with astroturf and toys which gets sunny and lovely for the kids to run about in, better than I have seen at a lot of nurseries. They make healthy food at home for the children and cater for different diets. Aga and Joanna are so professional and also really caring about each child. I can only highly recommend!!

Really nurturing and inventive carer

Aga has looked after my son at nursery since he was 8-9 months old. She was his keyworker in the baby room and she was just brilliant at giving him the care that he needed to form a really strong attachment - at the time he was very upset at having to be away from his parents but Aga soon became his second mummy! They still have a really great bond - Aga is the only person outside of family who has ever looked after my son outside of the nursery setting (he was very, very shy and any other babysitter was out of the question) and he loves going to her home; when I pick him up she has always got the kids doing fun activities and he always has stories to tell me.

I am very much hoping Aga will be his after-school carer once he starts in September and would recommend her to parents of children of any age - she really does give them the care and nurturing they need.

Brilliantly caring and great fun!

Aga has looked after my daughter in a nursery setting for the last 3yrs - we were lucky enough to have Aga as our key worker in the baby room and she has been brilliant. She is great with the kids, they respect her and she is fun too. I would definitely recommend Aga for any childcare needs - she really is a pleasure to have around.
