My Summary
About Me
Hello there
My name is Angela and I have been a chilminder for 16 years.
Are you looking for a home away from home, good home cooked food and a fun and safe environment?
Going back to work and feeling a little aprehensive about it all?
Please contact me for a chat and hopefully I can help in some way.
I have completed the childcare course for childminders and passed my inspection with outstanding comments on areas in my setting.
I follow the early years guidelines and look at a child’s next steps and track their development so that I an help them learn new skills !
I have sleeping areas for each child if needed and provide home cooked food for ages over 1 years.
We attend a variety of different playgroups and drop ins on a regular daily basis. This includes libraries, parks, sure start centres, playgroups and other local areas. We visit local national trust parks and embrace outdoor play!
I have a lovely home with lots of arts and crafts, books, tv, baking and game playing facilities.
I also have a garden with a playhouse and sandpit bench although the garden changes its theme from circus tents and dressing up to water play and much more!
I do before and after school pick ups from Meadow Primary School in Stoneleigh.
I aim to help where I can with anyone who may need childcare.
Please feel free to contact me for an informal chat - I may just be able to help!
Many thanks

My son absolutely loves going to Angela’s after school and during the school holidays. She has created the most amazing environment for children. She is polite, professional and friendly. She has a very relaxed home environment while also supporting a child’s development in fun and creative ways. I love how often my eldest comes home with things he has made or has told me about new things he has tried with other children. She is very fun, patient, speaks kindly with the children and very communicative with me as a parent. Her home is super clean, full of age-appropriate games and the children have a varied and healthy diet. My youngest will be joining my eldest at Angela’s in September. I feel very grateful to have found Angela and she has become an extension of our family which is much needed when the children are small. Don't hesitate to call Angela if you need support.

Our son has been going to Angela’s since he started school almost three years ago.
We are thankful that we found her as I know we couldn’t have found anyone better.
Her home is lovely and welcoming. It’s always buzzing with energy. There are always fun activities and creative things happening and our little one loves her food!
Most days we have a little battle to get him to come home as he is enjoying himself so much.
There are endless examples of Angela’s kindness, not just to our son, but to all of us.
We consider Angela - and her own lovely family - to be part of our family and we would, without question, recommend her to everyone.

My 3 children have never been happier than with Angela! With my youngest starting at just 9 months old I was so sad to leave her especially with the pandemic, but Angela made the transition beyond easy!
She goes out of her way to make sure the whole family is updated with photos of their day, special handmade gifts for all occasions and progress reports! Each day is different for the kids and they go to the most incredible places - out and about every day seeing the world!
The bond they have with Angela is something I’ve not seen in any other setting and they look forward to seeing her every day running over to hug her in the mornings!
Her food is amazing - all freshly cooked and prepared, the range of toys and themed weeks for the kids to explore is mind blowing !
Anglea is a really special person and anyone who is lucky enough to secure a place for their child in her setting will never look back!
Thank you for everything you do for our family!!

Angela has been looking after my 2 children for the past 2 years.
My eldest started when he just turned two, having previously had problems settling into a nursery. I cannot praise Angela enough with how she went about gaining both my little boys confidence and trust, and in turn, mine and my husbands. She’s provided a home away from home and I trust her with them as much as I do my close family.
She goes above and beyond, ranging from the food she offers, the places she takes the kids, the activities she does at home and the development focus she’s giving both my children.
I just can not recommend her highly enough, to the point we even considered changing our eldests school options in order to keep him with her, we have that much confidence in her. The boys clearly adore her that speaks volumes.

My 9-year old daughter has been going to Angela's for before and after school care Monday to Friday for the past nearly 2 years and she could not be happier. I know she is happy because she does not want to come home at the end of the day, I still get this now! Angela is extremely caring, fun, open and professional as well as being a very positive influence and great company for my daughter. I know she is 100% safe because I don't have a single worry, I feel the same way as if I was leaving her with family. She is also very active and loves walking and being outdoors so my girl always benefits from this. She also cooks great and healthy food and packs the week with games, art and craft, picnics and different activities. I cannot recommend her strongly enough, TRULY outstanding.
