BO PEEPS CHILDCARE's Reviews

Couldn't Recommend Angela Enough!

Our daughter, Quinn, has been in Angela’s care since she was 8 months old. Choosing Angela to help raise and guide our daughter has been one of the best decisions we could have made.
Angela has helped us teach Quinn to walk, eat, communicate, take turns and every other milestone you can imagine, whilst we have both had to work full-time. Quinn is excited to see Angela and the other children in her care every day that she attends, which is the full 4 days a week! She can also be reluctant to leave which also shows how much she feels safe and adores Angela.
As parents, we love receiving photos of daily activities and to have a personalised end-of-day update. This is so much more than what you would receive from a nursery/preschool and allows us to feel like apart of Quinn’s day.
We can only thank Angela as she has played a role in Quinn becoming the kind, playful, independent, curious and fun-loving little girl that she is as Angela is all of these things and more.
Quinn is now 2.5 years old and will continue with Angela until she begins school. Expecting our second child in April, we cannot wait to have Angela in their life too.
We cannot recommend Angela more to parents looking for a childcare setting that offers a safe, positive and loving environment.

Thank you so much and I cannot wait to meet bambino no. 2!

Couldn’t ask for a better childminder!

Angela has been caring for our daughter since she was 10 months old. Choosing a setting was daunting as first time parents but we are so grateful to have found Angela! She provides a warm and homely environment which Jessica loves so much she asks to go back everyday. This is testament to how happy and safe she feels there. When she is there her development thrives, from clapping and waving to walking and talking Angela has been part of it all!

Angela also provides activities for every occasion, helping the children in her care gain awareness of the world around them and also means lots of special crafts and keep sakes to bring home. As well as this Angela’s setting allows for lots of time outside and trips to feed the ducks, which all the children love.

The photos and updates we receive daily mean that we are involved in Jessica’s day, and she loves to look at these and tell us what she was up to!

We’re delighted with Angela’s care and are really happy that we decided to choose a childminder over a nursery as we feel that our daughter is being raised in a happy, healthy and caring household surrounded by children of a similar age who she’s best friends with!

We couldn’t be happier with Angela, she has exceeded all of our expectations and we can’t recommend her enough.

Incredible Childminder

My son has been attending Bo Peeps Childcare since July 2022 when he was 7 months old. I was initially nervous about placing him in a childcare setting as he was born with medical complications however after our initial meeting with Angela my mind was put at ease and he has absolutely thrived in her setting. Angela provides a wonderful home from home environment, going above and beyond by taking the children out daily to explore the natural surrounding areas, attending groups or coffee mornings, and doing lots of inside activities on rainy days.

Angela is a highly experienced and dedicated childminder with a very loving approach. My son completely adores her with his favourite phrase being ‘Angela look’ even when he is not at Angela’s!

I would highly recommend Bo Peeps Childcare to anyone and we are forever grateful that we found you.

Thank you so much Emma. You are very welcome 🤩✨⭐️🌟💫

Excellent Childminder

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.

Thank you so much for your lovely review!
I have enjoyed every moment caring for little T bone. He will always have a special place in my heart and I am certain he will thrive in nursery!

Super!

Caitlin has been attending Angela’s since she was 6 months old, so over a year now.

As a mother returning to work at the time, it was daunting and worrying to try to find the right care for my first child and I wasn’t sure how I was going to cope. We visited a few nursery’s and different childminders and then Angela. Within the first few minutes, we knew it was the right place for our daughter. Her natural care and the instantaneous bond she had with Caitlin didn’t go unnoticed and the homely set up she has created made me feel comfortable knowing my child would be safe and happy during the times I was at work.

Since that initial visit, I have not been disappointed. Angela is an outstanding childminder and genuinely cares for the well-being and development of the children. Caitlin is constantly taking part in different, fun activities and attending many different sensory classes to improve her learning and social skills. Since being with Angela, I have seen a great amount of difference in my daughter's confidence and she has become an absolute chatterbox and bookworm which I love!

I genuinely never worry during the time I am away from Caitlin. Angela consistency keeps us updated with photos throughout the day so I never feel like I’m missing out on my daughter. She doesn’t need to do this but the fact that she goes out of her way to do so shows so much about her character.

I don’t think (touch wood) I have yet to pick my daughter up without a smile on her face. Sometimes I even bribe Caitlin about going to see Angela in order for good behaviour. I know Caitlin sees Angela as extended family and welcomes her with a hug every morning which again, makes me feel so content which my choice.

I could continue to write more and more. Even though we have a good while yet before Caitlin starts school I am already dreading how Caitlin will feel about not seeing Angela every day.

Angela is fantastic and I would genuinely recommend her to anyone.

Regards

Thank you Kelly!
Caitlin has been an absolute delight to teach and care for and I can't wait to see her again in June to create lots more fun times together. 😊

Highly recommend Angela

Angela has been our son's childminder for over a year.
Angela’s character is very patient, gentle, and warm. She has fun with the children but expects good behaviour from them and reminds them when needed. She deals with toddler behaviour challenges with patience and consistency. She ensures the children have a wide range of activities suitable for their age, stage of learning, and their interests.
Angela takes the children to a few local playgroups for interaction with children in larger groups, as well as small excursions to Stansted Park, Staunton Park, Bishops Gardens and other local outdoor attractions. In the winter she makes sure the children get plenty of exercise with indoor soft play and playgroups with equipment to use. When it is wet, the puddle suits and wellies go on and they enjoy some time outside most of the year around, which is great.
Angela keeps a regular diary (used to be a book but is now online) of our son's activities and interests, and plans to build on something he has demonstrated an interest in, or a particular milestone. She also sends us plenty of photos of him out and about; every day we get photos, and we love having this connection. We know that he is progressing very well for his age, and the time he spends at bopeeps is certainly contributing to that.
We know that our son is very fond of Angela and he is happy to be there when he is dropped off in the morning. As a parent, I enjoy a good relationship with Angela. Angela’s daughters are often around in the afternoons after school, and they are good playmates for our son as well – he really enjoys spending time with them.
I think what sets Angela apart from other childminders is her character as she is warm, but gentle. The children enjoy an active, yet calm environment. Also, she is she is quite academic, she is always thinking about what she can do better, what is the latest information or tool she can use to enhance her provision.
We highly recommend Angela as an outstanding childminder.
