Angies's Reviews

My kids love going to see angie!

My kids, ages 10 months and 3 years old have been going to angies for a few months now and adore going to visit her as they know they are going to have fun!
Angie loves her job and it shows in her interaction with the children, i LOVE how i can keep up to date on their day and see how much the kids are enjoying themselves through regular photos on facebook throughout the day! X

Fantastic Childminder

I would highly recommend Angie for childcare as she is so down to earth and a very approachable and caring person with a great professional manner. My daughter Macy was with Angie for 4 years from 1 year old where she received a whole range of activities and was kept busy and encouraged by Angie and her family in a very positive way. Macy also enjoyed her time with the other children that Angie looked after as well as her own kids who are fantastic. I could go to work knowing that Macy was in a loving, warm family environment. Macy learned so much in her 4 years including pre school development and celebrations around special dates (Easter, Christmas, Chinese New Year etc)

As we dont stay in the area and I travelled to Edinburgh we had to make the decision to send Macy to her local school whcih unfortunately wasnt in Angie's pick up area. We still visit regularly and keep in touch. I would highly recommend Angie to anyone looking for childcare.

Thanks debbie for the nice comments it's much appreciated

I think Macy just fitted right into our family from the start she was my first ful time child and I couldn't have picked a better child for that spot, Macy was my right hand and became the leader of the Angels, I could be doing something with another child and say were going to paint by the time I had finishined what I was doing Macy had the aprons on and heping to get started, I can still here her in my head "Angie says" she is a big miss to this house the kids miss her and all the family miss her, Les would steal her from you anytime just lift the phone and he'll be there. lol

I'd just like you to know all your family are very warm, special people and have become friends that are also missed by Myself and Les.

Thanks for being part of our life and will always be a friend Angela Xx

A God Send!

I would highly recommend Angie for childcare as soon as I met Angie I could sense how natural she is at caring and instantly my daughter Iona had a soft spot for Angie.I had no doubts that Iona would ever be bored at Angies,everyday the kids are kept busy by interacting with other children and learning and generally have fun!I was encouraged to see Iona had an excellent time with the other children and was wonderful not to feel guilty leaving Iona as I knew she was in good hands.Overall a lovely homely atmosphere for children to be in,I am very sad to say that as Iona has started nursery she is no longer at Angies,in saying that we cant pass the house without Iona asking for Angie or her husband Les in which it has to be said is also excellent with the children infact Iona had quite a soft spot for him,overall an absolute godsend!getting your children to leave may be another matter!

Iona was a wee star to have in my home and Les misses his wee pal.

Hope she loves the nursery and you can pop in anytime when you are passing, Can't wait to see new baby Xx

Thanks again for the nice words

Super! Smashing! Great!

Our son Cameron has been going to Angie's after school for just under 1 year now. We feel that Angie creates a very welcoming and homely enviroment. She is a very warm and caring person as are the rest of her family.

She is also extremley flexable in accomodating your everyday needs, she really is just a phone call away.

We cannot speak highly enough of Angie and her family and would recommend her to anyone looking for a childminder.

Thanks Angie and family for welcoming Cameron into your home xx

Fantastic childminder

When I was looking for a childminder for my son, I had to consider many options due to the nature of my job, and I found that Angie's Little Angels suited well.

Angie has looked after Aiden since he was around 10 months old and she has been a fantastic childminder. He always looks forward to going down, and doing fun stuff with Angie and the rest of the kids in her care.
Myself and other family members have always been made to feel very welcome by Angie and the rest of her family any time we have been at her home.

I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a childminder, she offers an excellent childminding service.

Thanks for the nice review Kerry it means a lot to know you all feel welcome.

Can't believe that's him starting nursery this Aug the time has flown in. The kids are all growing up so fast but he will love the nursery and have cooper going with him as well.

First Class Childminder

I returned to work after taking a 3yr break to look after my 2 kids and found Angie's Little Angels on the internet. I had only ever left my children with my mum so was very anxious about leaving them with a childminder. I spoke to Angie on the phone and she invited myself, my mum and the kids to her house to meet her. She went over all the aspects of childcare as this was all new to me, showed me round her home and basically put my mind totally at ease. I knew then that my kids would settle here and that I would have no worries about leaving them in Angie's capable hands.

That was a year and a half ago and my 2 kids love going to Angie's infact it is sometimes difficult to get them to leave. Angie's whole family get involved with the kids aswell and they all make you feel really welcome in their home. My little boy has come on leaps and bounds with his learning and they always have fun topics to do which both my kids thoroughly enjoy.

I am so grateful that I have Angie as our childminder and also now as a friend. I cannot recomend her highly enough and would urge anyone looking for a childminder to contact her and see for yourself how Amazing Angie's little Angels are.

Thank you very much Michelle for the lovely comments, Both your Kids are a pleasure to look after and my day's won't be the same when the wee man goes to nursery we will miss him in the morning.

My days are full of fun and that's thanks to all the great kids I have, I am very lucky to have such a great bunch and they all get on really well together and your kids just fitted right in.

Thanks again Michelle it means a lot to know your happy and most importantly the kids are happy Xx

Fantastic Childminder

When looking for a childminder for my daughter Becky I considered many different options. A few other mothers at her primary school had recommended Angie.
When me and Becky went to meet Angie at her family home they were all very welcoming, Becky settled almost immediately and was desperate to go and play with all the fun toys Angie had. Angie sat with me and went through all her policies in-depth and also explained her plans and expectations for children she had in her care. What I found very impressive was the files she keeps for all the children of their development through the years while in her care. I knew from this visit that Becky would settle with Angie very easily.
Since Becky has been in Angie’s care she has had a ball. Angie always has fun tasks for all the children to do and Becky always comes back with loads of stories.
I would highly recommend Angie as a loving, caring and professional childminder to all parents.

Thanks Deborah for the nice review,

I have the best job in the world and it is great to have Becky as one of my Angels,
I am so pleased you both came to see me and it's really good to know you liked the kids development folders, the kids love to do all the topics and It's good practice.

Thanks Angela Xx

Fantastic Childminder

We were first time parents and very apprehensive about leaving our son with anyone as he was only months old. We debated a lot between a childminder or a nursery.

We visited a few local childminders then found Angie’s little Angels on a google web search she was a few miles away as we come from Motherwell but after meeting her and her family we knew that this was the best setting for our son and exactly what we were looking for.
Angie provided us with 2 booklets, a copy of all her policies and an individual care book for our child, the book asked very relevant questions which she said helps her to look after our boy the way we would like him to be looked after.

We were very lucky that we found Angie she was fantastic and her family were very much involved when I went to collect Cameron he would be playing with Les or Angie’s kids they are a great family and you could tell loved having the kids around.
I would highly recommend any parent to go see Angie and find out for yourselves what a warm, caring person she is.

Thanks for everything
Fiona xx

Found an Angel in Angie

My daughter Kelsie first went to Angie in early 2008 as a 6 month old baby. 4 years have sailed past and myself and Kelsie can happily say Angie is still our Childminder and next year i know i can safely say we will progress onto Angie being Kelsies after school care.

Kelsie has grown incredibly close to angie, and indeed her family. Each day is different and indeed eventful, which is great for Kelsie, but not always for me as there have been occasions where kelsie has had so much fun she does not want to come home when i arrive to collect her.

Angie has been an amazing help when it comes to Kelsies nusery activities, and her teacher cannot praise angie enough, and has no doubt in her mind that kelsie has been more than ready for school for a long time due to the effort angie puts in bringing Kelsie on.

Hand on heart i can say i would not change a single thing about the last 4 years, and can happily look over the last 4 years worth of pictures that Angie has kept of Kelsies time there, and feel blessed that my child has found such an amazing friend in angie whom i know she trusts just as much as she trusts me.

Heres to another 4 years worth of memories.

Thank you very much for the nice comment,

Kelsie was a wee shy baby when she first started and now she is a wee granny and a credit to you and your family. I can say it has been a great pleasure to have her in my home all day, every day and this house will not be the same when she goes to school this summer, a big school girl where has the time gone? Someone said today she was a precious little girl and that’s just what she is and much more. She is a fantastic child to look after, always looks out for everyone and keeps us all on our toes.
I am very fortunate to have really great kids and lovely lovely parents.

Thanks Sarra for being such a great parent it makes this job very easy and not feel like a job at all. Xx

Highly Recommended

I couldn't recommend Angies Little Angels highly enough,

My Chlld was only there for a short time, (3/4 months) however he loved every minute of it, he would come home with tales of what they had been doing all day, trips out, toddlers groups, swing parks as well as many home creations like a dragon mask, cards, cardboard flowers.. She certainly helped his imagination (& mine!)

Thanks Angie

Thanks very much Liz for the nice review, It was a pleasure to have him with us even for a short time. He was a wee star and loved all the arts and craft things we did, his smile in the morning set us up for a great day.

Thanks again x :-)
