Anthea is simply the best.
The moment I met Anthea I knew she was the right fit. Her house is warm, she’s so loving and the house is filled with toys and games for the children. The garden is also amazing!
My daughter absolutely loves it. Anthea goes above and beyond to allow the children in her care to have any experiences and is always out and about with them. The activities, cooking and art she does with them are always so engaging and my daughter always comes home with a themed project they have been doing.
I will be so sad when Nancys time with Anthea comes to an end this summer when she goes off to big school. But Nancy is ready for school and that is down to Anthea.

I send both my boys to Anthea’s and they love it. They both run in without looking back and always have a great day. Both of their development have come on massively since being with Anthea. She takes them to parks, to feed the ducks and any other activity that she feels will be fun for them! I’d highly recommend Anthea to anyone 🙂

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!
