Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Anoushka. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
When our first child, Oscar, started having panic attacks in the car on the way to nursery we had to change his care setting urgently. We were very fortunate to find Anoushka who had just had a space become available. We had a couple of other options closer to home but Anoushka's setting felt right and she gave us confidence she was the right person to take on an anxious toddler. It turned out to be the best decision we could have made, roll on 2yrs and Oscar is now a confident and outgoing child, we have no concerns for when he starts primary school in September. Oscar's development has come on leaps and bounds and he always has lots to discuss on the car journey home. Anoushka has also looked after our younger son Jack for 6months now and he loves the time he spends there. With work commitments and Oscar starting school, we have had to reluctantly find a care setting for him closer to home. Anoushka has been a saviour and we will be forever grateful for the care she has given our boys. She has always been the professional with the human touch, so relatable. We can't recommend her highly enough.

It’s a daunting experience finding the right childcare provider when leaving your child for the first time, Anoushka was brilliant. She immediately made us feel at ease, in fact when I took my daughter for our first visit she refused
To leave and we ended up having a little settling in session.
My little girl has always been happy in Anoushka’s care and always enjoys telling us what exciting things she has been doing whilst there.
We loved the home from home care Anoushka provides and the great variety in learning resources and activities.
I highly recommend Anoushka to anyone and we will really miss her.

Anoushka looked after our son for 8 years both during term time and out school hours. He loved it there and still goes on occasion now, to socialize with Anoushkas own child. The setting is clean, safe and tidy. Anoushka is very inclusive with all her children and fair. The activities were varied and our son who had special needs, learned an awful lot during his time there. Anoushka always ensured the children were kept busy and myself updated accordingly. Once hit by the pandemic, Anoushka was extremely cautious and adhered to all rules laid out by the government. After leaving her care, our son was given a journal with pictures and memories from his wonderful time with Anoushka. Without a doubt, a reliable, caring and fun loving lady with so much experience and our child's best interests at heart.

My son started with Anoushka in November 2019 when he was 11 months old and from the get go we have had nothing but an amazing experience with her. We had our settling in sessions and never looked back. She has been a real support, not just to my son but to me as a first time mum getting back into work.
She has been flexible when I have needed and always communicated everything with me clearly and in good time.
In regards to my sons development she has always encouraged him, supported his learning and also allowed him the freedom to do the things he enjoys doing. A couple of examples of this are, he is a big lover of music and so they will have disco time and on another occasion she knew of his love of Toy Story and so they used craft time to make Forky.
He really has come on in leaps and bounds since being with Anoushka and I feel she really goes above and beyond in her work to make her setting a safe, welcoming and loving place where little ones can thrive.
I will always recommend her to anyone and I just hope she has space for baby number 2 when the time comes!!

Anoushka was recommended to me by the local nursery, along with many other parents; she is the loveliest lady I have met. Anoushka has looked after my child for the past 18 months, usually 2 days per week. He truly loves attending her setting; he is incredibly fond of her and will leap into her arms with a smile.
During my sons settling in sessions, I was provided with many updates and photos of how my child was feeling and what activities he was doing (he was always happy)! I always feel at ease around Anoushka and as though I can ask any questions regarding my child’s development, she is consistently supportive and understanding.
The children often do a variety of different activities such as attending play groups, soft play, and arts and crafts. Anoushka has a wonderful garden which my son loves playing in, her house is spacious, safe and full of educational and fun toys!
Anoushka is very accommodating, flexible and relaxed, whilst still maintaining a well organised, clean, desirable setting. Anoushka is honestly one of the kindest, softest, loveliest ladies I have ever met, and I’m incredibly grateful my son is spending part of his early years with her; I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
