BIO

​

I am Karlene Williams, the childminder of Yaya’s Angelz Childcare, with an Ofsted 'MET' rating. Yaya’s Angelz has been registered since the August 2019.

I have five children and three grandchildren. I reside in a four-bedroom home with three younger children, ages 11 to 17. On the ground floor, a spacious living room is used for the nursery, an additional restroom, a kitchen, and a closet containing an assortment of early years’ learning resources. Our garden is very spacious and clutter-free for outdoor play. Outdoor has a slide, climbing frame, tricycles, mud kitchen, activity tray with stand, sand, water tray, and more so children can have fun while learning. 

 

Yaya's Angelz welcomes individuals of all cultural and ethnic origins, religious and social groups, and children with special needs. Yaya's Angelz is founded on Christian values but will respect the beliefs and practices of non-Christian families. We aim to continue providing a joyful, secure, and safe environment for the children in our care. Your child will have easy access to various activities from which to choose.

 

By adhering to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the Statutory Framework, children will be school-ready for reception, as they will have received learning in the seven areas of their development:
 

•   Personal, Social and Emotional Development

•   Communication and Language

•   Physical Development

•   Literacy

•   Mathematics

•   Expressive Arts and Design

•   Understanding the world

​

• ​Pedagogy framework

 

Yaya's Angelz has created a safe, loving, and nurturing environment that promotes children's health and growth. We hope that Yaya's Angelz Childcare – Childminding service will be viewed as an extension where children are always welcome, and parents, caregivers, and our team collaborate to benefit all children attending. 

 

We offer pick-up and drop-off to and from school. We offer extended hours and are available on Saturdays (ONLY BY APPOINTMENT) for parents who work on weekends.

 

Parents will benefit from the following essential values:

​

•   Safe, friendly and clean learning environment

•   Working with children with special needs

•   Free childcare entitlement for 2, 3 and 4-year-old.

•   Affordable cost

•   Extended hours

•   School ready
