My Summary
About Me
Welcome to my profile!
My name is Angela, and I bring over 20 years of experience working with children across a wide range of ages.
I live in the lovely community of Braiswick, Colchester, with my husband and our two little princesses, aged 5 and 2.
I truly enjoy childminding and have a deep passion for early childhood development, especially during those all-important early years. I love helping children grow in independence and confidence, equipping them with the essential skills they’ll need as they prepare for school.
In my childminding setting, I care for a small number of children to ensure each one receives the individual attention, care, and support they need to thrive.
Our home is thoughtfully equipped with a wide range of indoor and outdoor toys, creating endless opportunities for play and discovery. We're fortunate to have a large, secure garden where children can enjoy active outdoor fun and explore the world around them. Creative activities like arts and crafts, along with messy play, are regular favourites—bringing joy and learning to children of all ages!
I wholeheartedly believe that the best learning happens through play, and I take great care to follow each child’s unique interests, supporting their development in a way that feels natural and joyful. As a mum to two young daughters, I understand just how important it is for children to feel safe, loved, and supported in their early years.
My own parenting journey inspired me to create a warm, nurturing environment where little ones can learn, grow, and truly thrive—while giving parents peace of mind, knowing their child is in safe, caring, and capable hands.
My Experience
I hold a degree in Clinical Psychology and am a dedicated Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapist with over a decade of specialised experience supporting children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). My passion lies in nurturing each child's unique potential through compassionate, evidence-based care.
I’m a dedicated and enthusiastic mother, as well as a passionate holistic therapist who values each child’s well-being and unique journey of growth. With empathy and a strong sense of responsibility, I bring a thoughtful and proactive approach to every situation, always committed to making a positive difference.
Throughout my career as a nursery teacher, I have been dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children feel secure, valued, and supported. By following the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), I delivered a well-balanced blend of structured and child-led activities that foster each child’s sense of well-being, identity, and belonging—laying a strong foundation for their ongoing development and learning.
These experiences have helped children build confidence, become active and curious learners, and develop a strong connection to their environment. My role also involved using positive behaviour management strategies to support children in navigating social and emotional challenges with understanding and resilience.
