AnnieOF
Childminder in London: Bromley
My Summary
Recently Graded Outstanding. Limited Spaces Left For 2025 Start.
About Me
?? Final August/September 2026 space available. One space left Monday to Friday. ?? 30 hours free childcare available ??
please see below some of the feedback from my current parents:
F has been going to Annie's since September 2020. It's such a loving environment for him and genuinely feels like a home from home. He adores Annie, her family and staff and has made lifelong friends there. These bonds are so strong that, although F has started school, we still send him to Annie’s once a week after school and during school holidays purely so that he can keep up his relationships.
Annie puts enormous effort into caring for the kids - the day to day activities and outings are always fun and varied and she always makes occasions like birthdays, Christmas etc extra special. For example, this Christmas she organised for Father Christmas to pay a special visit to her house. Likewise, meals are home cooked, healthy and there's always options for fussy eaters like F. F has several serious food allergies which was a huge concern for us as we began looking for childcare. Annie has always taken this extremely seriously and gives incredible care and attention to his needs. Her communication with us is impeccable and gives us absolute confidence that he is in safe hands.
I would like to start by saying what a privilege and luxury it is to be a working mum, send my children to a care provided and have absolutely no doubts or worries about their safety and happiness. We both as parents feel truly lucky to have Annie providing that care
Both of my children have such lovely days at Annies, this is cemented by the way they both go bounding in every morning, and the kind budding friendships they have built with their peers. They have such great exposure to different learning activities outside and inside, as well as day trips to museums/parks and cafes. They are always partaking in the current holidays or celebrations ie making pancakes, decorating for Chinese new year where they are having fun but learning too
Our daughter particularly has come such along way from her full on temper tantrums, and I owe a lot of that to Annies setting during the week. Annie is great at working with us as parents and ensuring we are all on the same page helping each other. Following through with things we may be implementing at home ie no dummies etc.
Annie is amazing at seeing what makes each child thrive and nurturing that. My daughter is very into her crafts and drawing and I know she gets extra time to do that on her own when the other children are napping. The same goes for our son , he’s at a key stage for learning new words and social ques and each week he is learning new things that surprise me
Annie has already started doing things to support the preschoolers with their transition to reception in September. I understand she does this all the pre school children, and this just goes to show dedication and care to each child and we are truly grateful.
My Experience
EMPLOYMENT
Position as Nanny in crystal Palace : February 2016 - 2020
This is my first nanny post taking my own daughter who was 6 months at start of this role , working for this family has been a real pleasure. A post that was originally for 8 weeks only, however as the family were so pleased with my work this was extended by the family until the end of this year. They have also asked me to work all school holidays once full time role ends in early January. This full time role is looking after two brothers 9 months and 3 at the beginning of role. Duties include : during term time taking older brother to school and collecting, cooking all meals preparing lunches, all nursery duties for now one year old. Taking babies out everyday to a group/ activity, swimming once a week, Creating a safe, fun and encouraging atmosphere for the boys. With lots of different daily activities and creativity. Pushing forward with weaning and daily routines. Also keeping playroom and bedrooms tidy and organised. Family laundry and helping out with whatever I can.
Position as bank staff in Dulwich Nellys nursery: May 2015 - July 2015 (temp)
As a member of bank staff at Nellys my duties included caring for children aged between 6 months to 5 years. Creating a fun and stimulating atmosphere with age appropriate activities, co ordinating group times and activities, making sure children ate meals and snacks at specific meal and snack times during day. Generally being an extra pair of hands that permanent staff could rely upon.
Position as a nanny in Peckham: 40 hours weekly: September 2013 to May 2015
Working for this busy family with 3 children ages (when I began post) 16 months, 5 years and 7 years. Working from 7:30am until 6pm my days started with preparing breakfast, getting the older children ready for school and taking them via train everyday to school. Once the girls were at school I would take the youngest to a different playgroup every morning ranging from discovery play, football skills to swimming. Then home for lunch in the afternoon and to do any laundry, tidying ironing ect that needed doing. Although when I started my role for this family ironing was not something they wanted me to do, I offered to do it for them to help out with the running of the home. In the afternoon I try to again vary activities from baking to arts and crafts making sure the afternoons are just as fun as our morning playgroup. Also in this time I will pre prepare the dinner for the evening, so that when I arrive back from the school run we have maximum time to get homework done, do violin and piano practice but to also leave time for some activities with the older children. After dinner it’s a case of getting everything tidied away and ready for the next day, making sure school bags, uniforms, homework and school kits are ready and out for the following morning. Throughout this nanny job I have also worked with the family to successfully potty train the youngest child.

My daughter has been with Annie since she was 1. We have been delighted with the care she has received at Annie’s. It is a lovely warm home, and Annie and her team are kind and caring with the children - my daughter loves them all. They do fantastic, varied activities- learning made fun. They spend lots of time out doors, in the garden or in parks, and go on fantastic day trips. Annie goes above and beyond to make the children happy and support families. We’ve been so lucky to find her. I honestly cannot recommend her highly enough!

Both of my children have been with Annie since they were one year old, and my eldest is now just about to start school. I’ve recommended Annie to everyone I know, and several of my friends and family now use her too.
She provides a true home-from-home environment, and my children see Annie and her family as part of our extended family. They enjoy so many amazing day trips and enriching experiences, and I always know they are happy, safe, and well cared for.
Annie is warm, kind, and caring—everything you could hope for in a childminder. Her staff are fantastic too, and it’s clear they’re happy working there, as there’s very little staff turnover. The consistency has been so valuable for my children, allowing them to build strong, trusting relationships with the whole team.
I couldn’t recommend Annie and her team more highly.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Annie (& team). From day one, Annie has been warm, caring and welcoming, and our child has absolutely loved being with her. Annie has always taken the time to understand her individual needs and routines, adapting as she's grown and making sure she feels happy, secure and supported. Annie's flexibility has also been invaluable to us as a working family. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Annie to anyone looking for a kind, nurturing and reliable childminder.

Still so relieved that we found Annie and her team to look after our little boy when I went back to work after maternity leave. Soon I will be returning to work after my second maternity leave and I have no worries about leaving our little girl with Annie too which is a lovely feeling.
Annie and her team have set up such a lovely home from home environment with such inviting play provision. So much so, I often wish I could come and play when I see the photos on the tapestry app🙊 I especially love how children have the freedom to get so messy with paint, water and mud! It’s exactly what they should be doing 😊 We also love that the children often visit different places like parks, shops, museums and playgroups. Best of both worlds. It feels like somewhere in-between a childminders and nursery which works so well for us. We also like that Charlie has so many lovely little friends but the environment doesn’t feel as busy as a nursery.
Most importantly, Annie and her team are obviously so devoted to the children which means the most. They are loved and cared for and Annie has gone the extra mile to make sure that Charlie is as happy as possible even though he currently experiencing separation anxiety. She is very supportive and understands how hard this can be.
I never hesitate to recommend her!

Annie is absolutely brilliant, and so are the assistants who work with her. My son has been with Annie for a year, since he was around one, and he truly loves it there.
What makes Annie’s setting so special is that it feels like an extended family. It is a warm home environment with a relatively small group of children of different ages, which has been wonderful for my son. He learns so much from the older children, and as he has grown, he has started to look after the younger ones too. The bond he has with Annie and the other key workers is amazing to see. They feel like aunties to him, and the other children feel like part of his wider little family - a little tribe.
For me, it feels like the closest thing to a natural, human child-rearing experience that you can find in a modern urban setting. That has been so much more reassuring and appealing to us than a larger nursery environment with lots of staff changes.
Annie’s house is a fantastic space for children, and her garden could give any forest school a run for its money. The children spend so much time outside, and she even has a big art shed where they can paint huge canvases on the walls. They also go on regular outings, which we love. We often get updates on Tapestry from woodland walks, trips to the Horniman Museum, parks, farms, the pet shop and even swimming.
My son calls her “my Annie”, which says it all really. You can see the bond, the trust and the love he has for her, and we feel very lucky that he has had such a nurturing, adventurous and joyful place to spend his early years.

Our first born went to Annies and still does for some after school care (he’s 7!)
Now, our youngest goes to Annie every week and we can honestly say she is the most amazing carer for our children. We are so lucky to have found Annie & couldn’t recommend her enough!!!

Annie has been the most amazing childminder for a daughter Charlotte. She works from a home from home setting which is well set up but her processes are excellent. She provides tapestry update with photos every day, tracks Charlottes development against the early years framework daily and is super communicative and flexible. My daughter cries when she can't go to Annie's and all the team that help are just so lovely and positive. Despite being in a home setting the children are always doing something new and visiting exciting places and taken swimming etc. It's the best of a professional nursery setting with the love and warmth of a home and the chance to do lots of outings and build confidence. We are so grateful for the whole team!

Our youngest son has been with Annie since he was 9 months old, and he is due to start school this September. We couldn't be happier with the care he has received from Annie!
As working parents, it means the world to know that he is in such safe, caring hands every day. We drop him off knowing he is happy, loved and well looked after, which gives us complete peace of mind while we're at work.
Over the past few years, we've watched him grow from a very shy and particular little boy into a confident, happy character who is more than ready for school.
His weeks are filled with wonderful experiences, including trips to local garden centres and museums, yoga, creative activities, singing and so much more. Every day is full of fun, learning and adventure.
Annie's setting is a warm, welcoming family home, which is exactly what we were looking for - a true home away from home. We couldn't recommend Annie more highly.
