My daughter has been coming to Angela since she was 8 months old, initially on a part-time basis, now full-time. In the beginning, I was quite reluctant to leave her as she was so young, and I made sure I looked around several childcare providers before deciding on this one. As soon as I had seen Angela's home and got to know her family, I knew this was the perfect place.

Central to the ethos of Angie's childcare is that word; family. My daughter is very much valued as part of their family and gets the nurture and care as if she were one of their own. Both of Angela's children are teenagers and could not be more forthcoming in their support and care for the toddlers that have now taken over their home! Angela's husband is also an immense influence and I often return from work to find my daughter engrossed in a book or playing a game with Angela's husband, Neil, and the other children.

Another key part to Lily's utter enjoyment of this facility is the variety within the day. Day trips to the park, feeding the ducks, wildlife parks, musical groups are just a few of the trips that Angela and her family regularly take the children on. Lily particularly enjoys walks in the woods and dancing in the living room to her favourite tunes, whilst learning the actions!

To keep parents informed of their children's progress, Angela keeps a daily diary that includes learning experiences, enjoyable times and what they had for their meals. Lily always has the word "ate" by all of her meals as they are nutritious and delicious and Lily is happy to eat the home-cooked delights Angela provides.

All in all, Angela's childcare has been an absolute god send for my child. Her beaming smile when she arrives and immediately goes for cuddles with Angela is evidence enough of how safe, secure and happy she feels there. I truly could not ask for any more.
