Angie and Harriet

The Best Childcare We Could Have Asked For

My daughter has been with Angie and Harriet since she was 10 months old, and she is now 2 years old. She absolutely loves being there!

Even during half term breaks, she talks constantly about Angie and asks when she's going back to their house, which says everything about how happy and settled she feels in their care.

The environment is wonderful and has a genuine home-from-home feel. Angie and Harriet create such a warm, nurturing atmosphere where children feel safe, loved, and valued.

Communication is fantastic. I love receiving little updates and photos throughout the day, and it's so reassuring to know how happy my daughter is and what she's been up to. Angie always keeps me informed and is incredibly approachable.

It's clear that Angie and Harriet genuinely care about the children they look after and go above and beyond to support their development and wellbeing. Knowing my daughter is so happy and content while I'm at work gives me complete peace of mind.

I will be absolutely heartbroken when the time comes for my little one to leave and start Reception. We feel so lucky to have found Angie and Harriet, and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Home from home

Angie and Harriet are like family to our son. He loves them and their love is returned in abundance. He has been with them since 10 months old and is 2 now.

They keep us updated with photos during the day and messages in the diary. Our son has developed so well during his time here. His speech, his interaction with other children and overall confidence is amazing, and we attribute a lot of this to the time spent with Angie and Harriet.

Angie is fair, and firm when needed, particularly with illness among the children.

There is never a concern that our son is being well looked after, he is always happy to go in and play with his friends, and the children all get on so nicely together.

They have a variety of toys, books and games to keep them entertained. Arts and crafts, garden play and a few friendly pets to take interest in if they want to.

We are beyond grateful for the care they show our son, and a special mention to Kev (Angie’s partner) who is an added bonus to this lovely family, who also makes time to interact and play even though he has his own job.

We highly recommend 🙂

Thank you Hannah for your lovely words, we all adore your little man, and along with his little friends, we are one big happy family . X

Excellent - nurturing and fun environment

My son has been with Angie and Harriet since he was 10 months old and he is now 18 months. At first he really struggled to settle in which was very upsetting but Angie and Harriet didn’t give up on him. One day it just clicked and he then started to not want to leave! He loves it there! I barely get a goodbye most days!

They do lots of arts and crafts, have plenty of toys and activities to do and are attended to properly. Angie is brilliant at giving you regular updates on how their day is going and also writes in a diary everyday so we can get an idea of what he’s been up to.

You can tell that they are very passionate about what they do and love the children almost like family. I trust them to look after our son just as we would and that’s such a rare feeling to have in this society. You can tell they are genuine people that care about your child’s wellbeing and happiness.

We’re so grateful to have found such a lovely place for our son to attend to in his younger years!

Highly recommend Angie and Harriet to anybody locally to Ware they have been amazing!

Above and Beyond

They go above and beyond the childminder threshold! Their set up is very similar to a nursery’s, they have a wide range of toys, from dinosaur’s and babies, to trains and puzzles. All of which have their own separate toy box. Angie and Harriet encourage the children in their care to tidy up the toys they were playing with before starting something new. This alone is a massive life skill in which they introduce into your childs life. They have a lovely bit of garden which is sectioned off for the children, here they can feed the birds, play with water and explore the great outdoors. They have facilities dedicated to meal times, a table in their conservatory for the children to eat their lunch/dinner, this ensures they experience that eating is separate to their play/learning time. My 2 yr has been coming here for just over half a year and by god he’s come on leaps and bounds, when he started in September 2023 he was apparently quite behind his age, however, coming here has allowed him to interact with children of different ages and has taught him many things, from tyding up, to knowing when he’s had a poo! Angie and Harriet don’t just look after your child, they teach them!

Thank You for your review Channon 🌻

Couldn't be happier

Our eldest absolutely adores Angie & Harriet. They have a fantastic setting with lots of toys, outdoor space and crafting activities. Our little one's confidence has come on leaps and bounds since she joined Angie, as well as her speech and coordination. It's such a nurturing environment that even when she's having a sensitive day (having a new sister can be a lot to process) we still have no worries about dropping her off to Angie & Harriet because we know she'll be welcomed at the door with a big cuddle and we will have a message and some pictures showing a very contented little girl in no time. Angie keeps us up to date with goings on and little milestones with a book that we write in, and our little one loves to tell us about what she's been up to, like caring for the tortoises or having a dance party!
Angie & Harriet are communicative, transparent and flexible - and really importantly right now - take the wellness and health of the kids really seriously. We're so happy with Angie & Harriet that when our eldest starts preschool, our then 7 month old will join their setting - I know she will safe, cared for and stimulated there too.

Amazing childminders, used for both my children

Angie & Harriet offer a lovely family setting within their home, not only did my boys love being with Angie & Harriet they felt like extended family members.

The kindness & care my boys got was exceptional, they learnt so much within the years of being with them.

I would highly recommend them both ♥️

Thank you so much, we loved having the boys and even though they have moved onto school, it's lovely to keep in touch xx

Positive and nurturing environment

Had a lovely experience with Angie, can’t recommend her enough. My son went to Angie’s setting from 8 months until 4 years old. He is now at school but goes back to Angie in holidays. My son has complex health needs which Angie helped us with from day one, I felt so confident leaving him in her setting and Angie was always communicative and helpful. My son wouldn’t even look back when I dropped him off, happy to go in and play straight away. My son has additional needs too and Angie helped his development on this front too. As a mum who has dealt with a lot of stress and anxiety in the last few years, I can safely say finding Angie was a blessing. We miss you but count down to holidays!!

My son loves going to Angie’s and Harriet’s

My son absolutely loves going to Angie’s and Harriet’s. He always comes home with a smile on his face. He’s speech has come on leaps and bounds since he started a few months ago and has made friends there, he’s only 2 and has so much to tell me about when he gets home.
He’s always coming home with pieces of art work and best of all I love that he comes home clean and tidy.

I can confidently say I have no worries about him when he’s there, I know he is in good hands.

Throughout the day Angie sends me pictures of activities he’s been up too and any updates I need to know.

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a childminder!

Thank you, we enjoy the activities we do and sending home their masterpieces for Mummies and Daddies xx

So happy!

I moved my daughter to Angie and Harriet after being unhappy with the care she was provided at her previous childminder. Angie and Harriet have been amazing! My daughter has settled in so quickly! The approach Angie takes is so nurturing, caring, and kind! It’s such a family setting which is what I wanted for my daughter! My daughter loves going and practically skips in each day! She talks about Angie all the time and her new friends! I feel so relieved after having a negative experience before and so happy about the care my daughter is now receiving! It makes leaving her to go to work so much easier as I know how happy she is! Angie always sends me pictures and updates about how my daughter is doing!

Caring, fun and experienced

Angie and her daughter Harriet have been looking after my two children for the last two years. They are now 3 and 5 and still love going. I was very nervous about my youngest child in particular starting childcare at 15 months, but she quickly settled. Both of my kids love going to play there. Angie has a big range of toys for all ages, including two playrooms, one with a chill out area if the kids need a bit of quiet time / a nap. I visited Angie's home for a trial session before my kids started and really liked the layout. Everything was very clean and tidy. Angie has pets but they are not allowed into the children's play areas. Angie has a really nice back garden with lots of toys for all ages. Angie is good at communicating with us any concerns, including passing on messages from school / nursery. She is always quick to let us know about any sign of possible illness. She is also very flexible with pick up / drop off times, which has been so helpful, as both myself and my partner work. The kids love going to play there and have made lots of little friends. Thank you! x
