Perfect loving care to thrive in

Reviewed

Angie has been a much loved ‘member’ of our family for the past 3yrs.
Knowing that our son was in a lovely family environment with other children (varying ages) being looked after by the kindest, most supportive, encouraging and loving childminder whilst we had to be at work was so reassuring.

He always enjoyed being with Angie and thrived in her care - being Ofsted registered, Angie provides great documentation/reports regularly to ensure we knew how Monty progresses in his development.
He has grown into a confident child ready to embrace school life, being able to share, show compassion and kindness, encourage and include others, enjoy learning and discovering and bring imagination and creativity to our day - Angie is firmly rooted in all of this.

Angie has a great set up in her home using the spacious (spotless!) ground floor with the children in her care, as well as spending as much time as possible outside in the garden - the new log cabin in her garden becoming a great addition to all of this. She will go out with the kids roaming through the nearby local nature reserve or a park, doing school runs and often will spend time with other (often local) childminders and their children to expand the group and enable the children to experience different activities and dynamics. Playgroups are part of the weekly routine and occasional special outings to a soft play are a real treat!

She is a great communicator and would often send us a pic or two throughout the day of our son’s adventures.

Our son has made a best friend during his time at Angie’s and has also learned how to play with and be mindful of younger children/babies - he loved the little ones!

We cannot recommend her enough and will be forever grateful for the wonderful part she played in our son’s life.

(...in fact - we all quite miss her!!!!)
