Anthea goes above, beyond and round the corner! My daughter has been so lucky to have her in her life for over 2 years now. Will be devastated when she leaves for school in September ! Choosing someone to look after your child is a HUGE decision but from day 1 we felt so supported by Anthea. Florence took to her straight away and thoroughly enjoys her time there. Anthea’s home is so welcoming, there’s always fun activities available and lots of trips out. The children are so well cared and rarely want to go home at pick up!
Wish I could give more than 5 stars as Anthea thoroughly deserves more, so yes, highly recommend!

Thankyou for such a lovely review 😊
Both my children have been with Anthea, youngest is still currently there.
The atmosphere is amazing, always vibrant and happy. The amount of activities they do is insane and so varied, there is something new pretty much every time he is there - he goes 3 days a week.
The snacks and home cooked meals couldn't be better and my son loves it there as a whole.
Anthea is a wonderful woman who adores children and really works well with the parents, always telling me what my son has been up to, what he ate at lunch etc.
When my youngest turned 2, I didn't even think about looking elsewhere, went straight to Anthea and asked if she had a space!
It has been 4 years so far since I've known Anthea through both my children and couldn't ask for a better childminder and lovely individual.

My son goes to Anthea's twice a week and loves it there. He is always smiling and giggling when I arrive and just adores it there from his play mates to the garden to Anthea herself.
Everything is just brilliant and I have no worries what so ever when I go

My son goes to Anthea every wednesday all day. Jack is very happy there and loves all the animals. He has learnt so much with all the activities Anthea does with all the children. Highly recommended
