Caitlin has been attending Angela’s since she was 6 months old, so over a year now.

As a mother returning to work at the time, it was daunting and worrying to try to find the right care for my first child and I wasn’t sure how I was going to cope. We visited a few nursery’s and different childminders and then Angela. Within the first few minutes, we knew it was the right place for our daughter. Her natural care and the instantaneous bond she had with Caitlin didn’t go unnoticed and the homely set up she has created made me feel comfortable knowing my child would be safe and happy during the times I was at work.

Since that initial visit, I have not been disappointed. Angela is an outstanding childminder and genuinely cares for the well-being and development of the children. Caitlin is constantly taking part in different, fun activities and attending many different sensory classes to improve her learning and social skills. Since being with Angela, I have seen a great amount of difference in my daughter's confidence and she has become an absolute chatterbox and bookworm which I love!

I genuinely never worry during the time I am away from Caitlin. Angela consistency keeps us updated with photos throughout the day so I never feel like I’m missing out on my daughter. She doesn’t need to do this but the fact that she goes out of her way to do so shows so much about her character.

I don’t think (touch wood) I have yet to pick my daughter up without a smile on her face. Sometimes I even bribe Caitlin about going to see Angela in order for good behaviour. I know Caitlin sees Angela as extended family and welcomes her with a hug every morning which again, makes me feel so content which my choice.

I could continue to write more and more. Even though we have a good while yet before Caitlin starts school I am already dreading how Caitlin will feel about not seeing Angela every day.

Angela is fantastic and I would genuinely recommend her to anyone.
