Angie cared for my daughter and then my son. We are moving away and will miss her a lot! We don't have family locally so finding a dependable caring childcare provider was really important to me when I went back to work. Angie has been brilliant. So kind and loving to the children, making sure there are toys they like to help them settle, getting to know what makes them smile and providing different activities both at home and on trips. Angie has always gone above and beyond to be flexible and help out with extra hours wherever she can. This has been such a big help! Both children have food intolerances and I have been able to feel confident and happy that Angie knows what they can and can't eat. Angie is really good at providing development updates and always happy to chat through these or anything else related to their time in her setting. I am so grateful I came across Angies profile a few years ago and for all the care she has shown our family since!

I found Angela through this website 2.5 years ago and I am so grateful I did. My daughter has been there almost 2.5 years and has enjoyed her time so much. My son is just starting and I'm so glad I can be confident that he's going to a good childminder. Angela is good at building up relationship with the children, understanding what they enjoy and what they need to help them settle, develop etc. My daughter loves the focused time she has with Angela, doing craft or number work and especially baking! Angela regularly has new toys and activities for the children to do which my daughter finds really exciting. Both my children have food intolerances/ allergy and I have confidence in Angela to take care of them and provide suitable food

We asked Angela to look after our son when he was only under 5 months. She and her family and other children really love our son; I always feel Angela is like family, she wasn't just doing her job to look after children, instead, she genuinely care about them, just like her own children. I didn't have to worry during my working hours at all.
Due to her previous experience in pre-school, she has a lot of inspirational activities and her drawings are really creative. She led children to make either a card or some other things (like painting on pots, making hand/foot print key rings etc) for every festive day (Father's day, mother's day, Christmas, .....) They're amazing. After seeing these things, I felt as an adult, I am so lack of creativity!
She taught children good behaviours, that's really important. Relationships among the several children there are really good. She can be very magic - e.g in her house, my son will run to sit on the floor to wait for his snacks if he sees it coming, but he would take the snack running around in our own house making mess. I never know how she did it!
She taught my son to count and we were all so excited to hear a young baby counting!!
She took children out a lot - proper outing - National Trust etc. Very few childminders offer this experience. She goes to local library and soft play very often too.
She never gets ill. The reason I'm saying this is - I had the worry when I was looking for a childminder that how often I would have to ask for annual leave without notice due to a childminder's sick leave. But I don't remember any day, so it really saved a lot of my troubles. She also has a buddy childminder; they often go out together and help each other.
I highly recommend her! Really a fantastic childminder that you can fully trust and rely on.

I can’t stress enough how good Angela is!!! Literally everything about her and her child care setting is outstanding! From the creative play, learning and her super organisation. My daughter started and could hardly speak she talks so well now and never cried when I took her she loved Angela as everyone naturally does. The activities to engage learning are the best Angela should just run a school. She provides great food and puts 110% into everything you could not find a better childminder for your children.

Angie is a wonderful lady and an excellent childminder. My son has been with her for 9 months and has thrived in her care. He looks forward to going everytime and comes home happy and exhausted. Shes encourages healthy eating and the kids are always busy having fun. She is always intrested and and keeps the kids engaged and let's you know straight away of any concerns re development etc. In short shes brilliant and am sad to be leaving her services.

Angela has looked after our now 6 year old for school drop off and pick ups for almost two years - our son loves her! She has always been so flexible and helpful and she has instilled kindness and caring in our son. We couldn't recommend her highly enough.

We were so lucky to have had our daughter under the great care of Angela. My daughter loves her to bits and also her warm and caring family.
Angela is one of the most organised person I know and is extremely experienced and knowleageable about every aspect of childcare. Angela keeps such an amazing record of my daughter’s development and not only it is helpful, but it is something that we treasure as a detailed record of our daughter's early years development with lots of pictures. I am sure we will be looking through them in years to come and my daughter will appreciate it even more when she’s older.
Angela is very responsive and when we ask for extra help, for example with numbers, Angela integrates more number-based activities in an everyday context. I have learnt so many parenting tips from Angela too.
Angela is also an amazing communicator and never makes feel like we are bothering her when we ask questions even when our daughter is not with her. The feedback we get from Angela really is fantastic, she paints a picture of what our daughter’s day was like and that had helped us to continue talking about it at home. It gave us so much reassurance that our daughter had fun and a day packed full of learning. After spending a day with Angela, our daughter is so happy and bright.
Angela is also a great cook and always very kind to accommodate every dietary need. We trust her in every way and honestly couldn’t wish for more! Thank you so much, Angela!!

Wouldn't dream of sending my child anywhere else. Angela is a dear friend of mine and have only become closer since she started looking after my little boy.
Angela has so much energy and is so fun and caring. My son immediately felt safe being left with her and suffered no separation anxiety.
I would trust Angela with anything. She keeps my son safe and I do not worry when leaving him with her. Angela adores the children like her own. She dotes on my son and it is truly lovely to see. It feels like I'm leaving my child with a trusted family member! She sends me loads of pictures throughout the day which is lovely.
My son always comes back chilled and happy and well fed and usually cleaner than when we sent him lol!
We love Angela, we do, we do.

Angie has looked after my two boys (2yrs & 3yrs) for quite sometime now, and I couldn't be happier with the love and care they receive. My boys are always busy (either doing art and crafts, reading, playing, going out & about to groups and parks). They are keen to shut the door and say goodbye to me when I drop them off which says it all.
Angie is also very supportive for me and does her best to accommodate any extra days etc...
I am always amazed by her organisational skills and at the end of everyday there is a detailed written entry including photos.
Angie is a highly compentent, professional child-minder. I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone.

Angie currently looks after my 3 year old daughter and has done so for the past 9 months and she absolutely LOVES her Angie!
Angela is a fantastic childminder, she is 150% committed to her job and each and every child she looks after. I wholeheartedly trust her with my daughter's life, my daughter loves the days she goes to Angelas.
Come rain or shine Angela takes the children to groups and soft play, as well as the park and lots of other activities.
90% of the time she walks everywhere and my daughter gets plenty of fresh air and she loves it!
Not to mention all the things she does with them at home i.e. arts and crafts, playdoh etc and the numerous amounts of different toys they have to choose from, the choices are endless for the young ones.
She gives my daughter a variation of food and snacks, which Angela records daily in my daughters personal private online journal, which she updates also daily with what my daughter has done that day, along with funny detailed conversations that Angela has either had with my daughter or heard her having with another child and also different photographs of the things she has done.
She logs arrival and departure times, as well as medical items when required. Not one detail is left out, I particularly find this reassuring as a parent.
Angela also adds all of these daily diaries to my daughters file, along with her progression and targets, as well as pictures and little things she has made or done and whenever I want to view it I am allowed to take it home to look at and show my family.
Angela is a genuinely kind, caring, loving, approachable and honest person and she isn't just my daughters childminder, she is a friend.
Her sincerity runs further than just the hours she has my daughter, she cares for and asks after my daughter even outside her working hours. I couldn't ask for a better person to look after my child. Thank you Angela. x
