Our son has been with Annabel and her team for a year and a half, and we have been delighted. The quality of the care, the loving nature of the caregivers and the beautiful venue are top notch. My older children attended a nursery, and I was never given the type of quality feedback on them that Annabel has provided about our son and his progress. It’s a more intimate setting and we believe he has benefited greatly from the experience. The only minor drawback is providing your own packed lunches, but given all the benefits this has certainly not deterred us and we have been merrily stuffing his lunch box for 18 months.

Our little one is so happy at Amelia’s house and loved it from the very start when he was 10 months old. He really has progressed so well, massive credit the setting. We've even been recommending it to NCT friends and random parents we meet in the park.

We’ve been sending our daughter to Annabel for the past year, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. From day one, she has created such a warm, caring, and stimulating environment where children are clearly happy and thriving.
Annabel is incredibly professional, kind, and attentive. She really takes the time to understand each child’s needs and adapts to them, which has made such a difference for our little one. The small group size means every child gets plenty of individual attention, and the fantastic facilities offer everything they need to play, learn, and grow. We especially love that outdoor play is a real priority—rain or shine, the children get fresh air every day, which we really value.
Our daughter absolutely loves her time with Annabel. Whether they’re learning about different festivals, or simply enjoying creative and fun activities, there’s always something exciting going on. Annabel also keeps us well-informed with regular updates and check-ins, which gives us such great insight into how our daughter is developing and learning.
We honestly can’t recommend Annabel highly enough. Knowing our daughter is in such safe, loving, and capable hands makes it so much easier for us to head to work each day. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her!
