My Summary
About Me
Hi I have been an Ofsted registered childminder for 18 years now.
I offer a competitive priced before and after school club for children attending Kingsway infants/juniors. Currently I have 2 spaces for a September start and a part time space for a baby/ small child (under 5)
I really enjoy looking after children. My own children are all grown up now and I have 7 Grandchildren whom I absolutely adore.
I offer parents a safe and happy enviroment for their children, so I hope they can go to work relaxed knowing their children are happy and well cared for.
We do lots of crafts and activities and I am always open to new ideas from both parents and children
I am following the new EYFS for children under five.
I take children on many outings of interest and visit local parks,libraries and toddler groups regularly.
I welcome children of all ages and denominations into my setting and will always try to accomodate any special needs, diets etc a child may have.

My Fees
- Childminding from £6.50 per hour
School drop offs or pickups are charged at a minimum of one hours pay per session for either morning or afternoon.
All children can have as many drinks as they like.
I no longer provide food to keep my fees down. I do however provide all food for Childrens birthday parties and also for the annual Christmas party which are free to all children I care for that are over the age of 3. Under 3's still all receive a gift for their birthdays but I feel are too young for parties
I do not charge if I am sick or for my own holidays.
My Local Schools
- I provide drop offs and pick ups at Kingsway Junior School
- I provide drop offs and pick ups at Kingsway Infants' School

Angela has looked after our three children over the last 12 years and we can not be grateful enough for all of her help over the years!! She has become part of our family and our children are deeply attached to her! They all have very many wonderful memories of the time spent in her care! In every aspect a great childminder- very reliable, loving, kind, helpful and caring! She has looked after our children from baby age and has been great after my maternity leaves, she has helped potty train them, introducing them to their first friends, huge variety of activities, bringing them to play groups, cultural and fun events for children, the Zoo etc. Very important to mention is that due to her nurturing and warm nature and extended experience and knowledge of childcare, our children have developed into well behaved and confident young people!
Angela has been caring for my children since 2010. Firstly my DD then then when I had my DS, (both children from 2012). The loving, caring and nurturing environment she has provided for both my children has been Outstanding and as an Early Years Professional myself, I do not make that judgement lightly. Her communication with us about the children is first class, which put my mind at ease as a working mum. I loved seeing pictures and narratives of what the children had been up to and her use of online learning journeys really showed their progress in achieving the Early Years Outcomes. When both my children started reception their teachers commented on how they could see that the children had been cared for in a positive nurturing environment.
Angela also continued to care for my children during school holidays and ensured that these were fun packed times with frequent trips.
I can honestly say that I felt that Angela treated my children as extra grandchildren, and my children love her as much as they do their grandparents.
So overall an OUTSTANDING childminder.
