A nanny like no other!!

Annamarie took care of my son Lucas for a year, he started going to her when he was only 6 months old and we only had to take him away because we moved to another city, I still haven't gotten over this goodbye, I can't find anyone like her, I felt love and affection in the care, my son wanted to jump out of the car when he arrived in front of her house. My son eats alone, and he developed in several aspects because of her, I have no words to describe my gratitude for the excellent work she does with children!!

Hi Melissa I hope Lucas settled well in his new setting over the summer and just would like to say it was a pleasure caring for Lucas and wish you all the best for the future. Thankyou for your kind words 😀 xx

Brilliant childminder

AnnMarie has been childminding my son Samuel for almost a year now.
I have been extremely happy with the care my son has received, and the great progress he has made whilst in AnnMarie’s care.
Her home is always welcoming, clean and well organised and Samuel has great fun playing with all the toys available and with the other children in her care. Beyond all this though, it is AnnMarie’s warm and friendly but no nonsense approach which sets her apart from other childminders and nurseries we have experienced.
She provides a wide, fun range of activities including plenty of outdoor exercise. I know Samuel absolutely loves the outings to the park, trips to feed the ducks and walks in the woods.
AnnMarie is a great communicator and has no trouble in gaining Samuel's confidence and therefore encouraging good behaviour and kindness and compassion to others, both skills which are important to us at home.
Food is healthy and homemade which was another important requirement for us.
I couldn't be happier with the level of care my son receives and I’m certain that being in such a positive and happy environment is helping him thrive and develop into a confident and self assured little boy.
I would absolutely recommend AnnMarie as a great and reliable childminder.

My children love Annmarie

Annmarie helped us when another childminder let us down. My daughter was reluctant to change, but Annmarie made everything so easy and really made both of my children feel happy and safe. She goes above and beyond every day and always uses her initive to ensure the best care for my children. Nothing is too much trouble and her flexibility makes my life so much easier. Annmarie is so understanding of our needs and offers constant support, the activities she creates are so much fun and my children look forward to seeing her and enjoy her lovely home cooked food. Annmarie has created a calm, safe but fun atmosphere, allowing my children to enjoy all aspects of their time with her. Thank you for everything Annmarie xx
