Angela has looked after both of my children (F, now aged 5, and C, now aged 3).
I have nothing but praise for her caring attitude and professionalism. The activities she does with them are diverse, interesting and fun for the kids. They go beyond the usual run of soft plays and playgroups... last week was strawberry picking!
Even when things getting tough (and messy!) she's there for the kids. My son found it very difficult to settle in, yet she stuck with it and helped him though several weeks of tears when he first started.
She has been very flexible, helping with pick-ups and drop-offs (brilliant, as we're a one car family and it's often used for work).
Her house is clean, tidy and well set up for the little ones. I would whole-heartedly recommend Angela, she's a great childminder.
