Anoushka

A truly wonderful and nurturing first setting

We couldn’t recommend Kayleigh and Anoushka highly enough. They have been absolutely wonderful with our son over the past 6 months and have provided such a warm, caring and nurturing environment for him.
This was Son’s first experience in a setting away from home, and initially he found the transition and being apart from his parents difficult. Kayleigh and Anoushka were incredibly patient, loving and reassuring, doing everything they could to help him feel safe and comfortable. As a result, he settled so quickly and soon came to absolutely love his time there.
We have also seen such a huge change in his confidence and social development. He has really flourished socially, becoming much more confident around other children and adults and genuinely excited to interact with new people.
Having pets in the setting has been another wonderful part of his experience. Being around cats and dogs regularly has helped him become so comfortable and confident around animals. He absolutely loves them now! When we’re out walking, he’s no longer fearful of dogs and instead gets so excited to see and interact with them!
We’re incredibly grateful for everything Kayleigh and Anoushka have done for all of us and only wish we could have stayed longer. Our son will miss them dearly, and of course, his beloved Bower (the dog)! Thank you so much for everything.

Best Childminder EVER

Lenore was with Anoushka for 2 and a half years, from just 12 months old, and we feel incredibly lucky that she was able to have such a wonderful childminder throughout such an important part of her early years.

From the very beginning, Anoushka created such a warm, loving and nurturing environment where Lenore felt completely safe, happy and cared for. There was a genuine bond and so much love between them, and it was always so obvious just how much Anoushka adored Lenore too. Lenore absolutely loved going to her and still asks about Anoushka all the time now! 🥹❤️

During her time there, Lenore grew so much in confidence and independence. She made lovely little friends, learnt so many new skills, experienced new activities and had so many opportunities to play, explore and learn. Anoushka was fantastic at supporting her development while also allowing her to simply enjoy being a child. We could really see how much she had learnt and grown during her time there, and we always knew she was being encouraged, supported and celebrated for who she was.

Most importantly, we always felt that Lenore was genuinely loved, not just cared for. She was happy, settled and completely comfortable in Anoushka’s home, which gave us such peace of mind knowing she was somewhere she felt safe and secure.

Anoushka was also incredibly supportive and understanding towards us as parents. She was so kind, approachable and flexible whenever we needed it, and we always felt listened to and supported. She went above and beyond for both Lenore and us, and we will always be so grateful for that.

Saying goodbye as Lenore moves on is honestly very bittersweet. Anoushka has been such a special part of Lenore’s childhood and we will never forget the love, care and happy memories she has given her over the last 2 and a half years.

We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Anoushka to any family looking for a childminder. In fact, we loved our experience so much that our youngest daughter will also be going to Anoushka when I return to work after maternity leave. That probably says everything! ❤️

Thank you for everything, Anoushka. We will be forever grateful for the wonderful start you have given Lenore. She really does adore you, and so do we! 🥰 xx

Grateful for the Care and Love You Gave Arjun

Arjun has been with you for the past two years, starting from when he was just 13 months old, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better environment for him to grow, learn, and feel cared for. We are incredibly grateful for the personal attention, patience, and genuine affection you have shown him every single day. It has been wonderful and reassuring to see how comfortable, confident, and happy he has always been in your care.
We deeply appreciate the way you have supported his development — from building his early social skills to encouraging his learning, independence, and curiosity. The activities, play experiences, and gentle guidance you have provided have played a meaningful role in shaping his early years.
Your flexibility, especially around timings, and your willingness to always accommodate our needs have made a huge difference for us as a family. It is rare to find someone who not only cares for a child with such warmth but also supports parents with such understanding and reliability.
One of the clearest signs of the impact you’ve had is that Arjun still talks about you and often mentions wanting to come back to your house — a true reflection of how safe, loved, and happy he felt with you.
Thank you for everything you have done for Arjun and for us. We feel incredibly fortunate that he had such a nurturing and supportive start to his early years with you.
