Angela is an excellent childcare provider. She has taken care of our son since he was five months old (he is now three), and he has been happy and thriving throughout that time.

We feel that Angela's two main strengths are that she is able to keep our son active and engaged through group activities and a wider network of childcare providers, and she maintains a high level of communication that is very important to us. Angela maintains a regular timetable of activities for the children which are clearly engaging and stimulating. Our son especially loves attending the Toddler Sense classes and library visits. Angela keeps us updated with photos and videos which allow us to feel informed about our son's activities and development.

We are confident that when we leave our son with Angela each morning he will not only be cared for, but he will also be engaged in a range of structured activities, arts and crafts and free play. Our son is always smiling and happy as soon as he steps through the door, and his obvious seal of approval is what allows us to recommend Angela as a childminder without reservation.
