Music, Dance and Laughter!

Reviewed

Angie is such a lovely person, I couldn't think of anyone better to look after our daughter. What makes Angies service unique is her musicality. She Is learning to play the piano and often plays for the children and sings nursery rhymes with them. She also encourages them to dance and sing and is never too shy to get down on their level and join in. Music and singing is my daughters favourite thing to do so I feel like we struck gold when we met Angie. Our daughter adores her time with Angie and her Son and is always excited to go each morning.

I was very nervous about returning to work last year but Angie made me feel really at ease and I found the settling in sessions to be of great benefit. Our daughter has CMPA and egg allergies which Angie took on board without hesitation, producing exciting and nutritious meals/snacks for her. We have very good comunication with Angie and she is always supportive of our parenting decisions.

There is always an exciting day planned at Angies e.g. trips to parks and farms, soft play, outdoor adventures, arts and crafts and singing/dancing. When they are at home there is many stimulating books, puzzles and toys to play with, inside and outside. We often receive photos of our daughter enjoying her day with the biggest smile on her face.

Our daughter loves Angie's Son and the other children and I think the age variety has been brilliant for her development. Angie treats our daughter as one of her own, you can tell she is passionate about helping to raise the children she cares for. I feel so lucky to have found Angie, her home really is a home from home.
