Prior to visiting Angel’s Academy, we had numerous walk arounds at different Nursery’s and Pre-School’s in and around the Fleet/Harley Whitney/Basingstoke area, however after our walk around at Angel’s Academy with Sophie and Hanny, I felt confident that Angel’s Academy was the right Nursery for our son.
The atmosphere during the walk around filled me instantly with reassurance. It was evident that Sophie and Hany take great pride in their care for the children and thrive on being a part of the children’s development. My comfort in them was further imbedded by how quickly our son settled in during his ‘settling in’ sessions and how he continues to be excited for his Nursery sessions.
It is worth noting that all the staff are highly professional, and our son adores all the staff, especially his key worker Noura. He knows the team by name and waves to them in excitement when he first arrives at the Nursery in the morning. If his key worker is unavailable to come to the door, another member of staff will introduce themselves to us at the door, and our son feels confident and comfortable in their care. This is shown by the way he behaves when I pick him up, he is smiling, happy and then waves and gives them a hi-5 when he leaves their care.
As working parents, I had many worries about leaving our child with someone and for me Angel’s Nursery continue to reassure me that they are the correct Nursery to have our son attend. This ranges from their communication skills with the parents, through to how they engage with the children and have helped our son grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I worried that his kind demeanor would disappear, however this is proven to be nurtured at Angels Academy. Some examples of how I’ve seen positive behavior rewarded is when my son used the toilet for the first time, they gave him a sticker to congratulate him. He was over the moon, and it was the first thing he told me when I picked him up. Another example is when the gates wouldn’t open first thing in the morning (due to a technical issue) Noura was trying to open them and my son said ‘go on Noura, you can do it, I believe in you!’ and clapped her once she was able to open them. Afterwards he said ‘well done Noura, I knew you could do it’ which further reassures me this is the type of positive dialect the children are spoken in.
When leaving your child with someone else, it is paramount to have clear communication and Angel’s Academy do this by having a WhatsApp chat, where someone is readily available to help, as well as having an app called ‘Blossom’ where they update you daily on the child’s day and progress by providing you information of what they ate, their activities from the day and pictures. They also provide seasonal newsletters to keep you up to date with the latest from the Nursery, including any themed days they’ve planned or any new staff members.
Recently, due to further work commitments, I have had to make a last-minute change to my son’s care hours and Angel’s Academy have been understanding and accommodating in my immediate need to change the hours.
We would recommend Angel’s Academy to all our friends and family. They nurture the children in their care, by not only helping academically but also by helping them thrive creatively and by speaking to them in a kind manner.

We are incredibly grateful to Angel’s Academy for the care, support, and nurturing environment they provided for our son during his time with them, which spanned just over two years. From the very beginning, the staff have been kind, caring, and professional, making us feel confident and at ease every single day.
Their dedication to the children’s development is evident in the way they engage with them, fostering both learning and creativity. We’ve seen our son grow so much under their care—not only academically but also socially and emotionally. It is clear that they take their responsibility seriously and go above and beyond to ensure each child feels safe, happy, and valued.
As working parents, knowing that our child was in such capable and loving hands was a huge comfort to us. We were always impressed by their communication and transparency, as well as the genuine relationships they built with the children and their families.
We would highly recommend Angel’s Academy to any family looking for a nurturing and supportive environment for their little ones. Thank you Sophie, Hany, and Noura for playing such an important role in our son’s early years—we will always remember this chapter with gratitude.
All the very best. We love you.

I am absolutely thrilled to share my heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful care that Angels Academy has provided to my child. Without a doubt, Angels Academy is a true gem in the world of childminding.
From the very beginning, it was evident that Sophie and Hany possess a unique gift for working with children. The genuine warmth, patience, and understanding make them stand out in every way. My child has developed a strong bond with Sophie and Hany, and it's heartwarming to see the excitement on my child's face when they know they're going to spend time together.
Sophie and Hany created an enriching environment that promotes both learning and play. The range of activities and experiences that my child has been exposed to is truly remarkable. I appreciate how Angels Academy tailors their approach to suit my child's interests and developmental stage, ensuring that every moment is meaningful.
Communication with Sophie and Hany has been excellent. I am regularly updated about my child's day, including meals, activities, and any noteworthy milestones. This level of transparency helps me feel connected and involved in my child's experiences, even when I'm not physically present.
Sophie and Hany's dedication goes beyond the expected. They have become an integral part of my child's life journey, contributing positively to their growth and development. It's evident that Sophie and Hany see their role as more than just a job; it's a genuine passion that shines through in everything they do.
In conclusion, I cannot thank Sophie and Hany enough for the incredible care and love they provide to my child. If you're seeking a childminder who is not only professional but also deeply caring and attentive, Angels Academy is the perfect choice. My wife and I are forever grateful for the positive impact they've had on our lives.

Angels Academy has done an amazing job of looking after my son. Sophie and Hany are two of the most loving and caring people I have ever met. They have a true passion for childcare, and it shows in the way they interact with the children in their care.
Sophie and Hany are always coming up with new and creative activities for the children, and they make sure that every child feels special and loved.
In addition to providing excellent childcare, Sophie and Hany are also incredibly supportive of parents. They are always available to answer questions and offer advice, and they go above and beyond to make sure that parents feel comfortable leaving their children in their care.
I highly recommend Angels Academy to anyone who is looking for a loving and caring childminding service. Sophie and Hany are truly gifted with children, and they will make sure that your child has a safe, happy, and enriching experience. We're so sad to be leaving Angels but we are so grateful to Sophie and Hany for taking such good care of our son. They have made a huge difference in his life, and I know that he is lucky to have them in his corner.

We visited a number of places when looking for a safe haven for our son post maternity leave.
Angel's Academy was a 'love at first sight' type of place, we immediately felt that he would be in caring, loving hands.
That instinct was proven right instantly, settling in was so easy and now we go to work every day as full time parents knowing that he cannot be happier, better fed and more inspired to learn by Sophie and Hany. There is a family feeling to Angel's Academy which we really treasure as well as lovely outdoor space that they can fully enjoy.
Sophie and Hany are so attentive to our son's needs and changes in his mood. They take the time to send photos, update us on the home made food and meticulously plan the year calendar around special events.
We cannot be happier and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone who asks . Thank you so much Angel's Academy!

From the moment we met Sophie and Hany we knew this was the best place for our daughter, their love of the job shines through and the setting is warm, inviting and clean. After visiting traditional nursery’s we didn’t feel they were right due to the sheer scale of them. Our daughter has been at Angels since she was 9 months old and loves Sophie and Hany so much, which speaks volumes about how much they care for her. They work alongside the partners and the child’s routine, respecting parents wishes which is reassuring. Our daughter has thrived since being in the setting and learns so much, it’s hard to keep up. There are projects they do, following the EYFS which is wonderful as we know when she comes to go to preschool/school she’ll be up to speed. I love that there’s always something special they focus on each week. The food is exceptional and freshly prepared every day. If you are looking for an elevated home from home environment than look no further. We are so grateful for the care that Sophie and Hany give our daughter, as we can go to work knowing she’s in the safest hands and happy. She runs in the door every morning with arms open for a hug and if that doesn’t say enough I don’t know what does.

Finding Sophie and Hany was such a relief after speaking with so many prospective childcare providers that just never left us feeling confident that they were going to give all the care and attention that we wanted for our special little person. Especially as she was so young when we had to return to work, we were especially nervous to be handing her over to strangers in the middle of a pandemic. The moment we met them in person and saw the beautiful play areas they have put together for the kids with an array of activities and entertainment we were sure we were making the right choice.
We feel our daughter is in the best hands at all times and we can have open, frank conversations with Sophie and Hany regarding any concerns we may be having be it nap times, potty training or food. They are always open and helpful and also happy to lend advice which as first time parents has always been appreciated. Picture updates via WhatsApp are always welcome and brighten our day and it’s clear that the children are happy and active in a lovely setting.
Our daughter has made fantastic friends and often comments on the things they’ve done together and the delicious food that is hand prepared every day. It is clear that both Hany and Sophie really care about the kids and form great relationships with them.

Our son joined the Angels Academy over a year ago now and we are so happy that we were able to organise a place for him here after an initial meeting with Sophie and Hany.
We could sense straight away that they really love the children in their care and take great pride in helping them develop as well as keeping them safe and happy. We are always amazed at the new words, numbers and skills that our son picks up during his time here.
We particularly love receiving photos from Sophie and Hany and seeing our son playing with the other children, having fun with arts, crafts and other fun activities.
They have been so flexible and great with us over the last year or so and have always offered advice and guidance when needed as first time parents. They work with us and always put the children first and it’s so good to know that we can truly rely on them.
We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to other parents trying to find the perfect place for their little ones!
Thanks for everything!

My son started going to Sophie and Hany´s house with only 9 months. From the first moment, I could see that he loved to be with them. Every morning, he is so happy to go to their house. He says to me "bye bye" with a smile on his face. I know that Sophie and Hany are incredible caring and they love kids, you can feel it when you talk with them. Sophie is a great cook, she cooks a fresh home meal everyday. The house smells so nice every time that I pick up my son.
My son enjoys himself so much all the time that he is with them. Everyday, he does different activities and I love to see the pictures of him playing and having fun with the other kids.
I couldn't have chosen a better place to leave my son. I cannot thank you enough all the support and love that Hany and Sophie give to my son and my family.

Our daughter has been attending Angels Academy since she was 18 months old and I cannot praise Sophie and Hany enough. Right from the start they put our mind at ease, with what we thought would be a hard time for our daughter who was particularly clingy.. Well to our amazement and with the support and love Sophie and Hany provide, this was not the case. She settled so well, and we were so thankful for the settling in sessions provided, there was no pressure and this was all done at our daughters pace. Our daughter enjoys her time so much when she is at Angels Academy. The activities and the set up they have is just simply brilliant. Our daughter is always learning something new and has come on leaps and bounds since joining. Sophie and Hany put so much love, thought and time into each activity they do with the children which suits each age range. The communication between them and us is 10/10 and we honestly could not ask for more from a childcare provider. The home cooked meals always smell delicious and it is lovely to know our daughter is having fresh home cooked meals each day. Sophie and Hany have become such a big part of our daughters life, she absolutely loves both of them. This is a wonderful home from home setting with nothing but love, happiness and fun each day. We could not recommend Angels Academy highly enough. Thank you for all you do for our daughter!

Even thought our Daughter Emma, was there only for couple months for few hours a week, we believe that time spent in Angels Academy benefited her in many ways.
Great setup in Sophier and Hany’s house allowed her to enjoy the time spent away from us, and she was ever so happy after coming back home.
She was always excited about stroking their two beautiful cats, and having fun with other kids in safe and home-like environment.
Thank you for taking care of Emma,
we can’t be grateful enough !

We have absolutely loved our experience with Sophie and Hany at Angel's academy. They have a beautiful set up for the children with a lovely garden and two summer houses. They provide well rounded and diverse meals. My son has really blossomed under their care. He loves attending their setting and it really is a very loving and caring environment.
If you are wondering whether to go with a childminder versus a nursery I highly recommend them as it is a much more focused and family setting. We knew from the moment we met and visited the setting that this was the place we wanted to send our son.
They are very good at communicating with the parents. We have more than loved and appreciated our experience with Hany and Sophie!

When I first thought about putting my daughter in to childcare, I was leaning more towards a nursery rather than a childminder, purely because of how nurseries follow a curriculum. But as soon as I met Sophie and Hany and had a look around, I knew straight away that I was torn. My daughter Isabelle started doing taster sessions at about 11 months old, and as soon as she started these I instantly knew that it was a perfect choice for my family. How Sophie and Hany handled her, communicated with us, was exactly what we wanted and more to the point, needed. Especially as a first time parents. Now my daughter rushes in, I have to ask her to come back to me for a cuddle and a kiss and each time she comes home, she has learnt something new. Along with this, the lunches my daughter has are absolutely amazing! I honestly don't think I could have chosen better if I'd taken a year to do so!

Since Lilliana started at Angels Academy I have felt so grateful to have found Sophie and Hany and think that they are an outstanding childminders. They are absolutely everything I've hoped for when looking for someone to care for my daughter 1.5 year ago.
They work in very close partnership with us as parents. Every day they provide key information about how Lilly has been, what she has done, how she has slept and eaten etc
They are always kind, calm and patient with the children so the little ones are happy, well behaved and know what’s expected of them.
They have created an atmosphere in which friendship and cooperation flourish amongst the children.
Sophie and Hany are very creative in their approach and I have been amazed at the variety of activities they provide for the children. Excellent balance of time outdoors and indoors. Let's not forget the beautiful newly build play house and gorgeous garden where the children spend sunny days playing and learning new skills.
I also very much appreciate the focus on healthy, nutritious, freshly made meals. Whenever I arrive to collect Lilly I can smell the delicious food that Sophie cooks for them every day.
We have already decided that Lilliana will stay with Angels Academy until she goes to school rather than going to nursery or pre-school because I have no doubt that she is receiving excellent provision in this area as well as gaining the enormous benefits of their kind and nurturing approach.
Sophie and Hany really care about our daughter and us as a family and this feeling is reciprocated. Hand on heart I cannot imagine anyone else looking after my child.
So if you are trying to find someone who will love, support, teach and help your child grow, Sophie and Hany are your perfect match . A home from home.

Childcare choices are a big decision, and this was something I was initially quite anxious about when looking around for childminders and nurseries for my 18-month daughter. However, I knew straight away when I met Sophie and Hany that Angels Academy was the right decision. My daughter has absolutely thrived in their loving care - she really has had the best of both worlds, with Angels Academy being a small nursery-style setting within a homely family environment. The children are so lucky with the beautiful facilities: a gorgeous garden and summer house which is kitted out for the children to play in, and a designated playroom for the children within the home, all beautifully decorated and adorned with stimulating toys. Sophie and Hany’s experience as both carers and parents definitely shows - they know exactly what to do if my daughter is feeling unwell, or had an unsettled night, and this is a weight off my mind when leaving her to go to work. I love the exciting activities that they prepare for the children - my daughter often comes home with something creative that she’s made! I’m so thankful to Angels Academy for the exceptional care they’ve given to my daughter.

Austin has absolutely loved attending Angels Academy. Sophie and Hany were amazing right from the start, very understanding and made the transition for me having to go back to work after 1 1/2 yrs of being a full time mummy alot easier. Im so glad we found them ! The house is immaculate, the food is all home made and the garden is amazing. Online diarys were also available so i knew how hed been and regular pics of what hes been up too were a lovely touch.
I have no doubt they have played a massive part in how our little boy has flourished - they are a very lovely family :)
I would definitely recommend Angels Academy for anyone looking for an excellent childminder

Sophie & Hany are absolutely amazing! We found them after hunting high & low for a Childminder who could assist us during April holidays with very short notice.
Our son has loved going to Angel Academy and we will continue to use them when his usual school closes for 4 weeks throughout each year.
It's a daunting feeling for any parent leaving your child in someone else's care but Sophie & Hany have made us feel extremely comfortable with their care, education & love for our 15 month old boy and it says it all when you pick your son up who is happy & chatting away.
They have understood his dietary requirements (as he is dairy intolerant) and have catered for him with tasty meals that he has enjoyed.
I would and do highly recommend Angel Academy to any parent who is looking for child care.

Our daughter has spent two days a week at Angels Academy since she was 18 months old. They are simply wonderful. They don’t just mind your child - there’s a strong, well-thought-out educational element to the care they provide, with thoughtfully-designed activities and schedules planned out way in advance, and informed by Sophie’s several decades’ experience of working with this age group. Our daughter is very happy and settled there: she was shy when she first started, so Sophie had her in little groups to begin with, and focused on helping her form bonds with other children. Our daughter has grown in confidence and always talks about her friends at Sophie and Hany’s. She’s treated as an individual and given personalised care. The food S&H provide is really healthy and always smells delicious, and our daughter always eats really well there.

I'm so thankful I met Sophie & Hany, as after suddenly getting a job, I was in urgent need of childcare for my son, involving very long days and they provided the right fit. Upon first meeting them I was impressed by their warm and caring nature and felt very comfortable for my son to start at their setting. They are also very flexible in terms of hours and pickups/drop-offs, which as been invaluable to me. I'm also happy with the daily structure as it provides both free play and structured activities, which I think is the right balance.
I was a bit concerned how my son would handle the long days away from me, but due to the caring environment, he has done well and remains a typical, happy toddler.
My son and I will miss Sophie and Hany dearly as we are moving to be closer to my work and we truly appreciate the support they have provided us.

By far the best childminders in the area. My little boy has spent the past 8 months with angels academy and has developed so much due to the care he receives. Communication is good and if I have any worries or concerns they are quick to reassure me. Photos of his learning and interaction in a wide range of activities are sent to me regularly which are lovely to receive. I feel he is cared for to the highest of standards and I have visited a fair few childcare settings around the area but can't find any as that live up to the high quality of Angels academy.

Our son Quinn has been attending Angel Academy for a while now and absolutely loves it! He is always so excited when we drop him off and loves seeing all of his friends there. Sophie and Hany make amazing meals for the kids, I wish I could stay for dinner sometimes when I smell what’s cooking!
Quinn is a very energetic little boy and Sophie and Hany provide a great balance of letting him run around and also helping him to concerntrate on tasks like painting and imaginative play.
Would recommend Angel Academy to any parents or caregivers looking for a warm loving and fun environment for their children to learn and grow in.

Isla has been with Sophie for a while now and she loves going every time. She gets to eat lots and play all day which is perfect for her as she loves to do both. Sophie and Heny provide a safe and secure environment for her and understand her needs perfectly.
I even get regular pictures of the activities Isla does and we get all of the pictures and paintings she produces. Isla also has a daily diary of what she has done.
I would recommend anyone to use their services as Isla has developed so much whilst being there. She learnt how to walk and even started speaking and for that I am eternally greatful.

Our son has been in the care of Sophie and Hany for more than 4 months now and me and my husband are extremely happy with the love and care he is receiving there. My son’s school is a bit far from Sophie’s place but still she agreed to do the school pick ups which is a great relief for us and also they understand the needs of working parents very well and we do not have to panic if we reach a few minutes late to pick him up in the evening. Our son has multiple food allergies but Sophie always takes great care to ensure that he is not exposed to any food that he is allergic to. Also Sophie does the reading homework with my son which is a great bonus for us.
Thank you so much Sophie and Hany for taking such good care of Ayaan, he is very happy in your setting and I would highly recommend you to any parent looking for a great childminder.

Thank you so so much Sophie and Hany words can't express how grateful l am for looking after Henry. You are always willing to help even when l give you short notice to care for Henry when l was admitted in hospital. I also learnt a lot from you for advice you gave to me about Henry's wellbeing whenever l ask a question or don't understand anything you take your time and explain things to me.
Finding a childminder to care for your child is a very difficult decision for every parent but when l leave Henry with you l know he is in a safe hand.
I will highly recommend you to every parent who needs childminder. I will always keep in touch as Henry and his new baby sister will come when l start work again. Thank you and continue with your good work. God richly bless you both.

Sophie and Hani are wonderful people they care so much for the children. They have helped out in our time of need and been so accommodating to our needs.
Our little boy has settled in so well. He is thruly loved and looked after by both of them.
All my worries and fears about leaving my child where totally catered for with regular updates and pictures and progression through the settling in period.
And it's so lovely that he is so happy to go each day and sometimes doesn't want to leave!
I couldn't ask for better, such lovely, caring and honest people. I am so glad I found you. I know my little boy is in good hands.
I would truly recommend Angels academy. Thank you Sophie and Hani for all you have done for us.

My son has been attending with Sophie and Hany for 4 months now, and my partner and I are really happy with the care he is receiving. They had great patience and understanding while he was settling in, and worked with us and his regime to make the transition to being away from home, which was daunting, very smooth.
They are both very open to discuss his daily progress and are genuinely caring about how he is doing and feeling each day. They are also able to help with suggestions and advice from their extensive experience which has been very helpful to us.
The setting is well equipped and tidy, and there is a good variety of activities daily. Our son has developed so much with making friends, and is excited to be dropped off each day. The daily updates we receive are great and give us a full picture of the progress he is making.
The food variety is fantastic, with a great selection of meals and snacks.
I would highly recommend Sophie and Hany for childcare, and our son is very happy in their setting. Thank you Sophie and Hany for caring for Evan :)

My daughter has been in the care of Sophie and Hany for just over a year now. And she has loved and enjoyed her time there.
Sophie and Hanys home is always clean and tidy. There are many activities to do even recently planting fruit and vegetables.
My daughter has lunch every day and there is a variety of home cooked meals, she always enjoys what is made, often trying and eating items she wouldn't at home.
Sophie also sends photos of what Heidi has been upto which was a big reassurance to start with now I just enjoy seeing her happy and enjoying herself. She has a lovely bond with both Sophie and Hany and still shows excitement each morning when we leave home to go to Soph sophs.
I love how my little girl has grown and developed under their care and I know she will continue to do so.

As new parents, we were really anxious about leaving our little girl in childcare for the first time. We had visited a lot of places including nurseries, but after meeting Sophie and Hany and seeing the excellent quality of care they give to each individual child and thier dedication to thier profession, we had no doubt that we had made an excellent decision. Thier setting is extremely clean and set out to provide many educational and fun activities for the children to enjoy. The meals the children have are both healthy and nutrious and our daugter loves the wide variety sophie offers.
Our daughter enjoys attending the setting everyday and always has a lovely smile on her face when she sees both Hany and Sophie. We'd like to thank Angels Academy for all the care and support they have given us including thier felxibilty, reassurance and the lovely photos they send to us of our daughter. The terms of thier contract has been explained to us from the very beginning and is transparent enabling us to plan ahead, which extremely important for my job.

I am so happy we've found Sophie. She's so loving and caring.
My son loves spending time with her and Hani and I would recommend their services to anyone. The children get to play in a safe and cosy environment and every day they're entertained with different activities.
I am so grateful to Sophie and Hani for taking such good care of Michael.
Thank you so much!

Sophie and Hani provide a genuine family environment for the children they look after and my 2 year old son loves the time he spends with them. It has been my first experience of leaving my son with a childminder and it has surpassed all my hopes as he is so happy and confident with them. Under Sophie and Hani's care he plays with his new friends, goes for picnics in the park, explores the garden, snuggles up for story time, does art activities, plays with all sorts of toys and enjoys many cuddles. Sophie is a fantastic cook and prepares a great variety of delicious and heathy food for the children.
They are incredibly flexible about pick ups and drop offs, coming out to Odiham to pick up my younger son and also doing school drop offs and pick ups for the older one.
Sohier and Hani clearly enjoy the time they spend with young children. They share a passion for helping children to develop and learn about the world. And the kindness and patience with which they do it is second to none.
Thank you Sophie and Hani!

I'm so grateful to Sophie and Hany, from the moment my daughter walks through their door to the moment she leaves she has a lovely smile on her face. They have both made us feel so welcome and eased any anxiety I have had with my return to work. My daughter receives the care and attention she needs, and Sophie and Hany follow our routine beautifully, with lots of activities and interaction.their home is welcoming and clean and inviting ,with a lovely 'play room' that I'm quite jealous of. Thank-you both for making this an easy transition.

Sophie and Hani are wonderful, they took great care of my son and took their time to understand him. They work in their lovely house where children feel at ease and enjoy having different activities.
I really appreciated how they took care of my son and will recommend them to any parents and will surely work with them in the future.

Sophie and Hany are excellent childminders and I would be happy to recommend them to anyone.
Changing our daughter's childcare provider from a nursery setting to Angels Academy is the best decision we ever made. They have been looking after our daughter for over 5 months now and our little one settled in perfectly well in their lovely home. Their house is welcoming and our daughter enjoys the freshly made home cooked food which Sophie and Hany provide.
We have so much peace of mind every morning when we drop our daughter off with Sophie and Hany; we feel confident every single day that our daughter is safe and will have a relaxed/fun-filled day of learning activities. There is nothing more re-assuring than seeing how happy our daughter is with them.
Thank you so much Sophie and Hany for being a great help and for looking after our daughter for us.

Sophie and Hany had taken care of my son since he was 9.5 months old. I was a first time mum and was very nervous about going back to work but I was so lucky that I had found angels academy, they are a fantastic team and they look after their pupil so well that I have never ever heard any child crying every time I went to pick and drop my son. I must say say Sophie and Hany so much more then just childminding, they genuinely a beautiful family, their children are so well behaved and are very good with all the children Sophie and Hany looks after.
I can't thank Sophie and Hany enough about how well they have looked after my son. Thanks again x

Sophie & Hany have been taking care of my 2 year old daughter for past six months now. My daughter had been going to nursery for quite some time but never had an experience of childminder. I am grateful to Sophie and Hany for giving their time in our first meeting and providing me assurance. Also, my daughter felt quite happy in their company, right from the beginning. She goes to them five days a week and quite looks forward to go to their house and have fun.
Their home is very welcoming and both of them do an excellent job in keeping the kids engaged in various activities. Both Sophie and Hany appreciate the importance of fun with learning and help kids develop. Their own children are equally wonderful and great with little toddlers in their home. My daughter keeps telling me how much fun she has with Sophie's daughter!
Also, I would like to thank Sophie for the wonderful food that she makes for the kids. She magics up great tasting nutritious food that my fussy eater loves.
I would like to strongly recommend them to anybody who wants a loving and caring childminder for their child.
Everyday, my daughter fills with delight when she meets Sophie and Hany and happily waves my bye-bye. There is nothing more re-assuring than watching my daughter happy with them. Thank you Sophie, Hany! You and your children indeed make to great team!

Sophie, Hany and their children are a very welcoming family. My son is with them five days a week. Although he has only been with them for a couple of months so far he has settled in very quickly and has grown very fond of them.
I was concerned about the transition with having to move my son from a nursery where he had plenty of room to burn off his surplus energy. However, my son took to them instantly and Sophie and Hany have proven that he can thrive just as well in a smaller childminding setting; In fact, I feel he benefits more from the attention and development opportunities of the more intimate environment. Hany's influence is perfect to keep my son balanced as he does not have the benefit of a male role model at home every day.
Their own children are a superb reflection of them, and I feel comfortable in the knowledge that their children are a great example to my son when they come home from school. They are always incredibly polite, calm and well mannered.
My son thoroughly enjoys the home cooked food which Sophie and Hany provide, and he often goes back for more! His general behaviour has also improved at home since he has been with them.
They are a fantastic team and I would highly recommend their services!

Sophie and Hany are excellent childminders and I would be happy to recommend them to any one.
I was so worried when I had to go back to work but my 10 month old son adjusted very well in their care. They have a warm welcoming home and a lot of activities for the children. He picked up so many new things in their care. Sophie is a very loving lady and Hany is equally enthusiastic with kids.
I was really happy with the care my little one got in Angels academy and am happy that I chose them.

This is the best decision we ever made about our son's childcare! Sophier and Hany is a great team and are brilliant careers for children. You feel at home as soon as you step in their house. Their own children are very polite and play with the little ones which I think is very important. Our son enjoys it there every time and when I come to pick him up he is always happy.
Would highly reccomend!
Thanks

I would recommend Angels Academy to any Parent who is looking for an excellent level of childcare in the Reading Area. Sophie is a genuinley kind woman who has an affinity for children. She has a fun, happy, calm and friendly character. She is also very well informed of current positive approaches to childcare. Being a registered childminer she maintains a welcome and homely environment combined with the professionalim of having all the relevant safety precautions in place and corresponding paperwork. Her husband Hany's (who is CRB checked) is an absolute bonus to the package of childcare being offered by Academy Angels. He has a warm and loving character, he provides a positive male approach and undoubtedly an unspoken additional level of authority and safety to the overall childcare provided. My 18month Son took very quickly to both Sophie and Hany, reaching out to Hany for comfort when sleepy soon after he began being cared for at Angels Academy. The home is welcoming and has a large garden for lots of messy play, its situated close to the woods which offers ample opportunity for walks and exploring (Supervised of course). I couldn't be happier with the reception received by the couple or with the care they provide. a 100% recommendation from me.

Sophier and Hany are fantastic. I was very nervous of leaving my daughter at 7 months to go back to work, but they put me right at ease. She has been there 2 months now and I could not be happier she is in a caring educational environment. Sophier and Hany have such a passion about childcare and entertaining the children. The home is a loving place and their children are so polite and welcoming and play happily with my daughter when they are home. Dropping my daughter off is relaxing due to the warmth you feel when you walk in the door, My daughter loves it there and as soon as Sophier opens the door she give a huge smile showing me she is so happy and relaxed making it so much easier to go onto work. I would reccomend Sophier and Hany to anyone looking for childcare you will not find better we love them.

We have been so pleased with Sohier and Hany. I was very nervous about leaving my daughter for the first time at 9 months old but she is really happy there and I feel completely comfortable knowing that she is well looked after.
The whole family are always so welcoming and my daughter loves them. Sohier plans lots of activities for the children, indoors and outdoors, and my little one often brings home something she has made during the day. Sohier does lots of little extra things like taping episodes of my daughter's favourite TV programme so it is always there to watch.
Sohier has been really flexible with my changing work pattern and also done extra days at short notice.
I would definitely recommend her to any parent.
