About Me
Welcome to Our Happy Little World – Where Learning and Play Go Hand in Hand ??
Hello and thank you for visiting! My name is Annabel and I’m a professional, Ofsted-registered childminder based in Woking, Surrey with over 20 years of experience caring for and nurturing children of all ages and abilities.
Working with young children is truly my passion, and I feel incredibly lucky to spend each day helping little ones learn, grow, and flourish in a safe, secure, and happy environment. My main focus is on Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) teaching, and I believe strongly in learning through play — it’s how children explore the world, build confidence, and develop important skills for life.
What Makes Our Setting Special?
Our home is warm, welcoming, and completely child-focused. We have a large, secure garden filled with toys, activities, and endless opportunities for outdoor learning — from splashing in water play, digging in the mud kitchen, to growing our own fruit, vegetables, and flowers (which we pick, prepare, and enjoy together!).
Indoors, we have a wide selection of age-appropriate toys, games, and books that are regularly updated based on the seasons, children's interests, and the projects we're working on. I create a stimulating and inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to thrive at their own pace — no matter their ability or background.
Healthy Bodies, Happy Minds
I provide healthy meals and snacks (with fresh fruit and water always available), and I can also offer home-cooked meals for a small additional cost. We enjoy regular outings to local parks, toddler groups, farms, nature reserves, and other child-friendly attractions — encouraging children to be curious, active, and connected to the world around them.
A Little Bit About Me
I am Ofsted Registered and hold a Surrey County Council Quality Assured Childminder certification and have a clean UK driving licence with a fully insured 7-seater car (with all required child seats, tax, and MOT). I’m proud to offer:
Funding for eligible 2, 3, and 4-year-olds
Support for working parents using childcare entitlements
Voucher schemes accepted
Currently, I offer school and preschool drop-offs and pickups from Barnsbury Primary School.
Get in Touch
If you’re looking for a warm, nurturing, and engaging setting where your child will feel happy, supported, and excited to learn, I’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me for current availability and bookings — I’m more than happy to chat, answer questions, or arrange a visit.
Thank you for considering my setting for your child’s early years journey. I look forward to welcoming you and your little one soon!
Warm wishes,
Annabel Rodgers

My 3 year old daughter has been going to Annabel’s on an ad hoc basis for a couple of years now and she is always happy and excited when I tell her she’s going to Annabel’s house! We find Annabel to be a kind, calm and caring person, but also fun, which is a great combo in our eyes!
