The rating scale available on this site is not high enough to accurately represent how highly I recommend this childcare provider.
Angela came to us as an emergency childminder when we were in a bit of a squeeze with changing work commitments and schedules. An intensive workload, long hours and being a mother to a 9 month old baby is not the easiest of combinations, but Angela has done nothing short of transforming what could have been an incredibly stressful and exhausting time for my family.

Putting Christopher (who was just 6 months old at the time) into childcare was a tough decision for my partner and I, and to say we were apprehensive is an understatement. But after meeting Angela, we knew she was 'The One' for us; she is warm, bubbly, the centre of her own family and reminded us very much of a family friend who has an exceptional presence around children.

Since starting with Angela, Christopher has consistently come home to us every evening smiling, contented, well fed, clean and ready for a long nights sleep (crucial both for mum and baby), leaving again in the morning all smiles and chatter. This testimony to me that my son is comfortable and enjoys being around his childminder and a sign of a good carer.

In addition, Angela has been very flexible in accommodating our childcare needs (lots of late finishes and bank holidays) despite her normal hours being 8-5 Mon-Fri. She also doesn't take on too many children at a time which is reassuring to know that Christopher is receiving the right amount supervision (something that is lost with increasing numbers), yet he is still able to mix with other children (a key component of social development).

Another thing that I love about Angela's service is that she doesn't keep the children in the house all day long; they regularly (almost daily) go on out-trips to local playgroups, museums, farms, parks etc and I am 100% confident Christopher is receiving plenty of stimulation.

Angela doesn't just look after children, she goes over and above others in caring for them and encouraging their development. I wouldn't leave my son with anybody else.
