My Summary
Anna’s House Childcare
About Me
Hello my name is Anna and I have a cosy childminding setting which could be described as a mini nursery full of love, hugs and fun.
I am a very enthusiastic person and adore babies and children. I am reliable, friendly, caring and passionate about the work I do.
I work with a wonderful team of people who equally love working with babies and toddlers.
We follow the EYFS with children and cover all 7 areas of learning and development.
We aim to teach children through playing indoors and outdoors doing a wide arrange of activities e.g. painting, play dough, card making, train track building, Lego, baking, handcrafts, leaf collecting, reading stories, dancing and many more.
We create a strong bond with the children we look after and we are still in touch with most of the parents that leave.
We are punctual and respect parents wishes regarding what structure they would like us to follow for their babies and toddlers to be happier at the setting.
Children are taken out on a daily basis to different parks, libraries and playgrounds. We believe through play, encouragement and using a range of activities children will learn to develop the skills that is important throughout their lives.
All meals are prepared fresh on a daily basis.
My Experience
The first experience of children I have had is bringing up my own 2 kids who are now 24 and 13 years old. I have enjoyed every minute of being a mum which inspired me to have my own provision.
Before opening up my own setting I worked as a nanny for 3 amazing families.

Anna and her team looked after my son for two years. They were absolutely amazing. Anna loves the kids so much with all her heart it’s really amazing to see. We were blessed to know our son was being looked after so lovingly everyday, a real peace of mind to leave your child in the morning in the best place possible for them. The kids learn to be very independent, eat with cutlery and clear their plates. They enjoy great homemade meals and lots of healthy snacks during the day.
Our son absolutely loved Anna's place. from the first day onwards he ran to the door of the nursery to start his day and was always so happy and excited to get in there, even asking about going in at the weekend :). Anna and all her team are brilliant, they don't just care for your child, but really shower them with love from the minute they come in. The setting is tidy and well supplied with everything the child could need, in addition Anna makes a huge effort to regularly take the kids out to explore the different spots and playgrounds in the local area. Dealing with Anna is a pleasure as she is always professional, warm and really focused on the welfare and care of your child. We could not have been happier with the care our son received there, and would recommend it without hesitation. It was a genuinely sad day for us when the time came for us to leave the nursery.
We've had both our boys with Anna and couldn't be happier -- we consider ourselves lucky to have found her when we did. Our eldest went to Anna when he was 9 months and left Anna when he was nearly 4, and our younger went at 10 months (he's 2.5y now) and is with Anna still. Anna made the settling in for both of them very smooth, listening to our preferences, but also leveraging her own experience. Our boys both love Anna and her team so much, and have formed really special bonds with Hana and Lina as well. They run in every morning and are always talking about Anna when they're at home. They tell us about how much they do there -- singing, dancing, cooking/baking -- and they get to enjoy the open space at the nursery on their own terms, all with the safety, care, and support of Anna and her team. We're constantly taken aback by how much they both have learned at Anna’s - knowing a wide range of songs and actions, starting to count and learn the alphabet, and of course being able communicate well. Our boys love playing with the different kids and being around a mix of age ranges. All their meals are home-cooked and we see and hear how well they're eating every day. When our older son was 3, one day he came home from Anna’s, ate his dinner with his fork – not his hands – and then brought his plate into the kitchen. He was so proud of everything he’d learned and done at Anna's. Our boys have been so loved and so well looked after by Anna and her team -- we just couldn’t imagine them being anywhere else.
We are so happy to have our two boys, now aged 1 and 3, with Anna. They both joined at 8 months old and we were of course worried about the transition after maternity leave but Anna, Hanna and the team made sure that both settled in so quickly and they have formed a real attachment. As a result the boys love going off every morning to see their friends and have fun. My husband and I feel so reassured they are being loved and looked after well every day. Thank you Anna!
Anna has been looking after our daughter for 3 and a half years almost on a full time basis.
We picked Anna over many childminders in the area as our daughter was immediately drawn to the positive and happy vibe at this mini nursery even though she was three months old. Anna is very caring and develops deep connections with all the children at nursery, Hanna is just as kind hearted and loving and together they have built up a safe nursery in which the children feel loved, cared for and have also friends to play with.
Our daughter had the best time at the nursery and we sadly had to leave as she started school. Anna and Hanna were always there to comfort her, nurture her and grow her into the amazing little girl she is today.
We liked the fact that the nursery is conveniently located near Finchley Road station (this helped massively with our commuting to work in the last three years), Anna also cooks fresh food daily and the children have a lot of variety. Apart from the fact that the children are well cared for, they all form strong bonds with each other and they become friends outside of the nursery too.
Massive thank you for being part of our girl's life and ours, we will be forever grateful xxx
