My son has been looked after by Annie since he was 9 months old. (Annie also provided school drop off/pick up for my older son). My youngest loves going to Annie's, from day one he has happily walked into her home, excited for the day. Annie provides a wide variety of activities and his development is supported by this. Annie also provides lovely home cooked meal and snacks. I am always impressed by the level of care & attention Annie shows to all the children. I am also grateful for the daily diary and weekly picture updates Annie provides, this enables me to know what my child has been doing and we can talk about his day. I would not hesitate to recommend Annie's services.

My now 3 year old son has been going to Annie since 9 months of age. Whilst I was initially anxious to leave my young son, Annie was so friendly and approachable that my son was at ease within minutes of being in Annie's company.
Annie's home is beautiful and her family are fantastic, my son is always excited at school holidays as the other members of the family are going to be home for the day with him!
During his days in Annie's care, he eats a variety of fresh healthy food, gets absolutely loads of playtime, craft times and story time. Annie takes him to different playgroups and parks so everyday is exciting and fun.
I highly recommend Annie as a childminder & am so glad to have her as part of my sons life.

Annie has cared for both of my children on a regular basis, for my youngest since before he was one. Annie is a kind, caring, warm and nurturing person who always goes above and beyond. Annie is very child focused and she provides an extremely high standard of care.
My children view it as a treat to be looked after by her and if we see her out and about they will run to be hugged by her. When I do see her with the other children she cares for at playgroups I am always impressed by the level of supervision and care that she shows them whilst out in the community.
Her home is always immaculate, and is a calm safe loving environment in which I am be very happy to leave my children.
