About Me
Welcome! My childcare setting is designed to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating "home away from home" for children age 5 and up. I offer flexible, round-the-clock care that accommodates the diverse needs of each child, filled with activities tailored to their age and developmental stage.
As a mother and a trainee nurse, I bring a high standard of responsibility, care, and up-to-date knowledge to my role as a childminder. My training aligns with current best practices in childcare, and I ensure that all necessary Ofsted documentation and requirements are met, giving you peace of mind that your child is in compliant, well-qualified hands.

With my extensive training and professional background, I’m committed to offering your children the highest standard of care, 24/7, with services customised to fit your family's unique needs.
? A Focus on Development and Daily Learning
I understand the importance of early development, which is why each day is structured with a variety of fun, engaging activities guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. This ensures your child is not only cared for but is also encouraged to learn and thrive.
? Keeping You Informed Every Step of the Way
As a parent, staying connected with your child’s progress is invaluable. I provide daily updates, sharing insights into their achievements, experiences, and moments of joy, so you’ll always feel involved in your child’s journey.

Angela has been providing before and after school care for our daughter for the last year. She is truly a Godsend to our family. My husband and I both work as doctors and Angela has been incredibly flexible and accommodating around our working hours. She has also looked after my daughter throughout lockdown, taking her to and from school whilst we were working at the hospital.
Angela is an incredibly kind and caring person and my daughter loves being with her. Her genuine love of children is clear to see and her home is so welcoming. My daughter's school was closed due to flooding on her birthday - Angela stepped in at short notice to look after her all day and made her birthday really special, even got her a beautiful cake. My daughter loves the activities at Angela's house, especially art and craft - she is always bringing home another creation! I really feel that Angela cares for my own daughter just as she cares for her own children (who are also lovely and so polite and well behaved) and often includes her on trips to local places after school.
We are so incredibly lucky to have found Angela and I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Angela has cared for two of my children after school over a period of some years. Both of them enjoyed staying at Angela’s, looked forward to their afternoons with her, and were obviously happy and relaxed when collected. There's a real family atmosphere about the house - in a very positive sense. Both my children, for example, really enjoyed the opportunity to play with much younger children, while enjoying the security that their own (rather older) needs were being met. Angela is an extremely committed professional, always giving children her full attention during sessions. At the same time she's able to talk easily to the parents and pass on anything she knows will interest or concern them - a skill sometimes overlooked in childcare! Overall, a really impressive childminder.
