About this early years setting

Angels Academy Nursery and Pre-School, located in Hartley Wintney, is a family-operated establishment managed by Sophie and her husband. They bring over two decades of dedicated childcare expertise, initially gained as childminders and coordinators in London, before expanding to Hampshire.

The nursery, which officially opened in 2024, aims to provide a nurturing and homely atmosphere where children can flourish academically and emotionally. The emphasis is on creating a secure and loving environment that feels like a second home, integrating children and their families into a larger community.

The curriculum is designed to foster happiness, independence, confidence, and resilience in children, ensuring they are excited and motivated to learn. The academy is committed to recognising and developing each child's unique strengths and talents, celebrating their progress, and building their self-esteem through positive reinforcement and clear boundaries.

Staff work closely with families and the wider community to achieve the best outcomes for every child, promoting active learning and the ability to embrace challenges and learn from mistakes.

We believe every child deserves the best possible start in life to reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff deeply care about the children in our nursery, treating each one as an individual while promoting positive relationships and secure bonds. We prioritise forming close relationships with families and the wider community to ensure the best outcomes for all children. Consistent boundaries, praise, and rewards form the backbone of our behaviour management system.

Our son has been attending Angel academy for 11 months now and has been very happy in the care of the team in Little Stars (Baby Room). Noura, our sons Key worker has been both professional, caring, friendly and is alway happy and is a great asset to the team. He has now transfered into Shining Moons (Toddler Room) and again the team are fantastic. We received daily update and pictures via an online system, which is great. Together with a quick update on pick up. I would highly recommend this nursery as its a family run nursery, with a family, friendly and warming atmosphere. The owners are lovely people and very friendly and welcoming.

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.

We were put in a tricky situation trying to find a place for our daughter last minute and I like to think it was fate so we could find Angel’s Academy. Our daughter loves it here so much, you can see how the staff go above and beyond for all the children and they have done so much to support us as a whole family. We couldn’t ask for a better place to look after our little girl!

Our daughter has been with Sophie and Hany for about 6 months now and choosing Angels as our childcare was one of the best decisions we made. Their home from home environment, approach to learning and the love they show the children is wonderful. Our daughter has been so happy there and thriving. It’s brilliant to know she’s so well cared for when we are at work, it puts your mind at ease. I wasn’t keen on putting our daughter in a traditional nursery environment and from the moment I met Sophie and Hany, I knew this was the right place. They genuinely care, are flexible and understanding. I think it says enough that our daughter sometimes cries getting in the car at the end of the day, as she doesn’t want to leave.

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!
