Angela is the most supportive, caring, attentive and organised childminder I have ever met. She currently cares for our 3 and ½ year old who has been with her since she was 4 months old. Keeva absolutely loves being in Angela’s care as she feels completely at home there. She is constantly stimulated with age appropriate, interesting, child led activities. Angela has taken the time to get to know our child as well as we do, she can sense just by looking at her what mood she is in and tailors her care to her needs.
Angela has recently updated her daily information sheets and now uses an app called baby days, this is a brilliant source of information for us and it is never out of date. We get a get full updated diary every day and it gives us a understanding of the links to the curriculum she follow with our child. Angela always takes the time at the start and end of every day to talk to us about Keeva’s day. Her communication is always open and she often offers ideas of things we can do to help Keeva and was especially supportive during her toilet training which at times was quite challenging.
Angela is continually looking at Keeva’s next steps and looks at how she can support and prepare her for these, she has hugely helped in her transition into doing some days a week in a nursery setting and planned activities that helped Keeva understand the changes in her routine.
Food wise Keeva is always offered freshly prepared, home cooked, well balanced meals. Snacks offered during the day are always well thought out and meals are not continuously repeated. Keeva is encouraged to try new foods and explore different tastes while they discuss healthy eating and where food comes from. Angela manages to use all activities as a learning opportunity for our child.
I would simply be lost with out Angela and her family they hold a hugely special place in all our hearts.
