About Me
Hello, My name is Annie -Auntie Annie to all my Angels!
I am a Fun, Loving, Creative and Energetic Early Year’s practitioner and have worked in the Early years for over 21 years. Myself and my family members and assistants are all DBS checked and we are paediatric first aid trained and safeguarding trained.
I am passionate about child development and giving every child the opportunity to reach their full potential. Each child in my care is unique and I know Babies, toddlers and young children thrive when they are loved and well cared for.
All children deserve to have an equal chance of success with High-quality Early Years Education and a strong focus on communication and language as this underpins all seven areas of learning and development. Children’s back-and-forth interactions from an early age form the foundations for language and cognitive development.

B has been with ‘Auntie Annie’s’ for 3 years and we couldn’t be more pleased with her and her team (Vicky and Amanda).
They do an exceptional job providing a happy, safe, caring and stimulating environment for the children. Annie organises lots of trips and experiences that have expanded B’s language and knowledge of the world around him. Annie communicates well with us day to day and regularly shares updates on his progress. B always talks positively about everyone at Annie’s and we couldn’t recommend her and her team more highly.

Our two daughters have been cared for by Annie since they were both 6 months old and adore Annie, her helpers – Vicky and Amanda – and the best friends they’ve made over their time with her.
We love how they are constantly out and about exploring nature and experiencing new and exciting things. Annie’s dedication to child development and education is clear, and her passion for fostering independence, creativity and discovery is truly inspiring.
Annie keeps us well-informed about our girls’ daily activities and development. We have complete confidence that they feel safe and valued, and that they are having an amazing and enriching day while in Annie's care.

There is no other childminder locally that I would want my children to be with such a formative age. Auntie Annie's is a safe, happy and nurturing place, full of fun and endless educational opportunities. My son flourished from his time there, which began the day I returned to work up to when he started nursery. He loved both his fellow angels and the grown-ups that supervised him, thriving in a small group of children who are given the utmost quality in care and early-years education as well as lots of adventurous days out all over London. My daughter, who started with Annie and her team in the spring, is now having the same wonderful experience.
Annie’s home base is wonderful, full of toys and learning aids as well as clean and tidy and I’m not surprised she recently received an Ofsted Outstanding rating. Her excellent teaching philosophy and values are evident every day and in the happy, curious and confident children who spend time in her care. Thank you Annie, Vicky and Amanda!

Florence(3 1/2) and Edie (18 months) have attended Auntie Annie’s since they were about 7 months old and there has not been a day when both have raced in with barely a wave goodbye to us. It is an understatement to say they love it, Annie and her team. I truly believe that I wouldn’t find a better childminder and feel so lucky every day that my children are cared for by Annie and her wonderful team.
Annie and her team are so professional, experienced, supportive and knowledgeable. It is a disservice to say Annie is a childminder as she is SO SO much more. She is passionate about giving the children a wealth of experiences and their encourage development. All activities are well thought through and carefully thought about to challenge and develop. The fact my three year old is teaching us about metamorphosis blows my mind. Annie is so knowledgable about the early years expectations and goals and our children are supported in every way to achieve these. Their social, emotional wellbeing is at the forefront of Annie and her teams minds and I really do credit the wonderful development of my children to them. They have instilled in them clear boundaries and a love for learning. What more could a parent want. My only sadness is that they can not stay with Annie and her team forever but they have honestly given them the best start and such a wonderful introduction to education.

Our daughter started at Annies last years when I returned to work after maternity leave and I cannot recommend her services enough!
Three days a week my little girls days are filled with fun, friends and learning. Annie, Vicky and Amanda teach all the little ones with real life experiences and lots of love. I never have to worry for second when she is in their care.
I have seen my daughter grow so much in the last 10 months and really couldn’t recommend Auntie Annies enough if you are looking for a child care setting for your child.
