Angie has looked after my 2 kids for the just over 2 years now, and I couldn't praise her enough. She really cares for them as if they were her own - and my kids love her! My son's development especially has really come along while he has been with Angie, she really does spend good time with the kids, reading, painting, numbers, shapes.
We are truly sad to be moving away, and I know that my kids will miss her very much. My son especially asks almost every day if he is going to Angies, and my daughter gets upset when he gets to go and she doesnt!
Thank you for being so wonderful with my kids Angie - you will be sorely missed!

Angie had my son for a few years, he was always happy well cared for and really enjoyed his time with angie.
Angie always cooked good meals and had a happy and safe environment and was always welcoming and happy to go the extra mile.
I found angie to be an excellent childminder and would highly recomend her.

My three boys have been looked after by Angie. ( One is 20, one is 17 and the youngest ten). Over the years, Angie has given me huge support as a working mum. Whilst training to be a teacher, Angie had my youngest daily. She took him to preschool, gave him home cooked meals, toddler groups, activities and Sam was very, very happy. For me, it was like home from home for him. I felt he had a homely environment and thrived off the individual attention he received. Angie always listened to my wishes as parent when it came to routines and would give quality feedback every day. I would highly recommend Angie, and would never have any one else to look after my children. She made being a working mum doable( due to having no family close by) and I never felt guilty as I knew Sam was
recieving the best possible care. If you want a childminder who is flexible, cares for your children as you would and provides a first class service then I would recommend Angie every time. She is every working mums dream come true. Thank you Angie for all the years of child care.
